Apparently this goes a little deeper than just shutting down a channel, then reopening it after compliance.

Formerly, I could find his videos by typing "hick" in the youtube homepage search box. Now, when I type in "hick" I get suggestions for his videos and channel, but he's not even as early as page 7 or the returns.

Does this mean his "ranking" was cancelled? I understand he could be buried under all the response videos, but why would an auto-suggest for his channel not actually take you to his channel?

Its one thing to shut him off for rules violation; its something else to drop him down the memory hole and make it difficult for actively interested people to find him after he's restored.

Last I checked he was terminated again. His videos show blank using search, then if clicked on there is the termination notice. His other account Hickok45andson is still up.

Now it is showing is videos are deleted, before they just showed the termination notice, does not look good.

I got an email notification earlier that he had a new video but when I clicked on it, it said his account was terminated again. This just means that a new, more 1A and 2A friendly video page will begin.
