Hickock45 and his son John returned with an update on their YouTube situation. They shared more promising news this time, reflecting the community’s support and their efforts to address the issue.
The duo expressed gratitude for their viewers and fellow YouTubers, whose support helped them get the attention of the right people at YouTube. They have been in discussions with YouTube and now have a clearer path forward, although the challenges remain significant.
John explained that they have lost everything posted since June 18th due to the new terms of service, which also jeopardized their older videos. However, they believe they can navigate these new guidelines and continue producing content.
The new terms of service, which prohibit sponsorships from firearms companies or those dealing in firearms accessories, affected much of their existing content. They had to remove several videos and will need to adjust many others to comply with the new rules. Despite this, they remain optimistic about re-uploading compliant videos from their archives.

John highlighted the importance of their community’s support, emphasizing that without it, the situation would be much worse. He acknowledged the fear and uncertainty they faced, given that this has been his career for his entire adult life.
They also addressed the suggestions to move to alternative platforms like Rumble. While they have content on Rumble, they stressed that YouTube’s vast reach is crucial for their mission of promoting the Second Amendment and reaching a broader audience.
In closing, they reiterated their commitment to providing content and navigating YouTube’s evolving policies. They assured viewers that they would keep them updated and continue to produce videos, despite potential interruptions.

Leave YouTube and move to rumble. YouTube is ruled by the extreme left with communist ideolgies.
It is difficult to express the disdain I hold for YouTube, they have a great product however their narrow minded attitude is not a welcome mat to the United States of America.
HickOK45 I wish you well.
I can’t believe no one has suggested that they just move the whole party to X…
Free speech to the max – check. Huge global audience – check. More daily visitors than any other social media platform – check. Superb monetization options – check.
Where’s the debate?
The Wu-Tube is obsessed with making it U (as in useless) Tube. So politically oriented and PC with head where the sun don’t shine.” We must get better platforms and drive these swamppers out of the business! Power to a free people not leashed by a bunch of elites!
Pure anti second amendment decision by YouTube. The same YouTube that stood for people being allowed to post their videos on almost any subject. What is happening to our basic freedom of speech ?
Democ…ᘛ⁐ᕐᐷ…ᘛ⁐ᕐᐷ again trying to control speech.
You Tube must be broken up, its a monopoly!!! Youtube/Google/Roku/Android all the same op. And they have all your data to control! When Trump gets in they will be investigated!
You tube is a commie POS!!!!
I enjoy watching your videos. I hope you are not removed from Youtube. I have learned so much from you.
boobtube.com takes a dim view of smoking pot(s).
Hickok45 presents entertaining and informative information about firearms. They support the United States of America and the US Constitution. That’s all. Nothing derogatory. Just fun stuff.
Did we agree to unconstitutional censorship when we clicked on youtube?
Is there no competiton to these wusses?
What do the Europeans use, or are they even more politically correct?
What kind of culture and society are we leaving to our grandchildren?
I was required to read Orwell in high school. It made me aware of thought control and subliminal conditioning that Madison avenue admires so much.
YouTube needs to DIE. With all their grotesque commercials I can’t hardly stand ThemTube anymore anyway. Come November I expect the MAGA movement to re-elect President Trump and sweep into CONgress a large number of conservatives, replacing many of the entrenched liberal establishment. When that happens, there will be congressional hearings on YouTube (much like the pressure Farcebook and Twitter received a couple of years ago). Meanwhile, maybe we can persuade Elon Musk to buy out YouTube from Alphabet and reform it like he did Twitter (now known as X).
…… THEY SHOULD APPLY TO “TRUTH SOCIAL & RUMBLE” TO SHOW THEIR SHOW …
Typical demoncrat bullshit
You don’t fit their narrative so they try to cancel you.
YouTube Nazi
Screw youtube. They’re anti american anyway. Post your videos elswhere and we’ll follow…
This is so ridiculous! Screwtube should be class-actioned. Hickock 45 is all about firearms safety, education, and pure entertainment. At no time over the past decade or so have I ever seen Hickock and son encourage violence. So I ask, WTF? Perhaps with a change in government Screwtube and other platforms will no longer be allowed to persecute 2A proponents.
1.This is an example of the big guy bullying the little guy into submission and what THEY want.
2. Is banning certain things from the internet really going to make the world a safer place. I don’t see anyone worrying about the pedophiles and crazies on the platform.
3. If they really had business savvy they’d let this go. More add/viewer revenue for them.( not sure how that works and don’t care.)
I have more but there is a limit.
Transition to Rumble if at all feasible.
