They have been in discussions with YouTube and now have a clearer path forward, although the challenges remain significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-youtube-cancels-hickok45\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/youtube-cancels-hickok45\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hickok45-update\" title=\"Hickok45 Update!\">YouTube Cancels Hickok45?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>John highlighted the importance of their community&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also addressed the suggestions to move to alternative platforms like Rumble.
