50+ Videos Removed. Channel Suspended. Why & What’s Next?

For the past three years, I’ve shown up consistently on this channel. I’ve poured my heart into creating content because I genuinely believe the information I share should be free and accessible to everyone—not hidden behind a paid course or expensive membership.

But recently, something changed.

Over 50 of my videos were removed by YouTube without any prior warning or explanation. Along with their removal came a community guideline warning citing “harmful or dangerous content.”

These weren’t videos inciting harm. Some were job opportunities. Others were my personal stories. Some were how-to guides on ways to earn income. Some were over two years old, and others were recently posted.

There was no identifiable pattern. I couldn’t figure out what specific violation triggered this. For three years, I had never had a single video removed, no community warnings, and definitely no strikes.

Naturally, I appealed YouTube’s decision. I emailed my assigned partner manager repeatedly. I even pointed out examples of other videos still live on the platform—some directly inspired by mine.

Still, nothing changed.

At first, I assumed it was a glitch, so I continued creating content.

Then another video was removed.

This time, I received an official community guideline strike and was suspended from posting or going live for seven days. The same vague explanation followed: “harmful or dangerous content.”

I started seeing the pattern across the platform. Other creators were going through the same thing. Some even deleted their entire content libraries out of fear and uncertainty. One creator mentioned there may have been a silent update to YouTube’s policies, but I couldn’t find anything official. If you know more, please let me know in the comments.

Since then, further actions have been taken against my channel, and now, I’m not even sure how long this space will continue to exist.

I want to be clear: I am open to learning. If I’m doing something wrong, I will fix it. My intention has never been to deceive or mislead anyone.

Despite everything, I remain grateful—for YouTube, for the reach, the impact, and above all, for you: my Rockstar family.

Even now, I believe YouTube is one of the best platforms to share and monetize content while building community. But for me, it’s no longer stable or reliable.

That said, I’m not going anywhere. I want to continue sharing with you.

Your messages, your comments, your encouragement—remind me that this work matters.

Where Is This Community?

It’s hosted on Patreon—a trusted third-party platform that many of you are already familiar with.

Some of my most loyal Rockstars have been with me on Patreon for years. It’s a space I pay for to securely deliver content and manage everything in one place. Because of that, there’s a small monthly subscription fee, which helps cover platform costs, admin support, and the time I dedicate to producing high-quality content for you.

That same subscription also helps fund the grants I’ve offered over the years.

Membership Options

There are now two tiers:

Rockstar Insider Access – $5/month Full access to videos and more.
Rockstar VIP – $25/month For deeper access, advanced coaching, and direct value.

If you're already in the $5 tier, you’ll continue receiving your benefits, plus some of the new perks I’ve added. Supporters in the $15, $30, $45, or $100 tiers—thank you! You’ll keep your access, but those tiers are now closed to new members due to time limits.

Let’s stay connected—no matter what happens next.
