The Future of My Content Creation: Fighting Back Against the Algorithm

Over the past few months, like many other gun content creators, I’ve been hit hard by YouTube. Repeated policy violations. Content strikes. Videos removed without warning. It’s frustrating, not just because of the hours poured into production, but because every deleted video represents a piece of education, entertainment, and passion silenced.

The 2A (Second Amendment) community has long used platforms like YouTube to share safety practices, product reviews, and knowledge that helps people handle firearms responsibly. What’s happening now feels like a coordinated tightening of the rules around gun content, even when that content clearly follows existing YouTube policy.

The Impact on Education and the 2A Community

When YouTube limits or removes firearms-related videos, it doesn’t just punish creators it restricts education. For many viewers, channels like mine are how they learn about proper handling, storage, training techniques, and product safety. This crackdown makes it harder to reach those who might otherwise become safer, more responsible gun owners.

This hits close to home because my channel was built on that exact foundation blending fun, informative, and approachable gun content to show that firearm ownership and education can coexist responsibly.

How It Affects My Work with Brands Like Brownells

As many of you know, my relationship with Brownells as a brand ambassador has been a huge part of my journey. They’ve supported creators like me for years helping to connect the community with trusted products and gear.

But that partnership has always relied on the ability to show those products in action: honest reviews, range days, and tutorials. When YouTube removes or limits gun content, it directly affects how I can represent brands that share our passion for craftsmanship, education, and responsible ownership.

The Reality of YouTube’s Policy and Appeals

To be clear,I follow YouTube’s posted policy. Every video I create is reviewed and adjusted to comply with their terms on firearms content. Yet strikes still happen.

Worse, the appeal process is limited and one-sided. Once a strike is issued, creators have little to no opportunity to fix the issue. You can’t edit or re-upload the content after removing or blurring the violation, you’re just stuck.

If YouTube truly wanted to support creators and maintain fairness, they’d adopt a system similar to their copyright process, where a flagged video can be edited, muted, or replaced to comply without losing the entire upload. That would actually help creators learn and improve, instead of punishing them outright.

Looking Ahead: Finding Alternative Paths

This isn’t the end, far from it. While I work through the current strikes and removals, I’m already exploring alternative platforms and hosting options to keep my content alive. The mission hasn’t changed: educate, entertain, and advocate for responsible 2A ownership.

I’ll continue to post updates and direct links here on www.themacbroz.com and across the MacBroz platforms. Whether it’s through Rumble, Odysee, GunStreamer, or other avenues the goal is to keep producing content that’s authentic, educational, and unapologetically pro-freedom.

Final Thoughts

This wave of enforcement has shaken a lot of creators, myself included. But if history tells us anything, it’s that the 2A community adapts. We find new ways to connect, to share, and to keep the message alive.

To everyone who’s watched, shared, and supported the journey, thank you. This fight isn’t about clicks or views. It’s about ensuring that education, safety, and the freedom to speak responsibly about firearms remain part of the digital conversation.
