There's a video on this new channel about the closing of the previous one.

Thanks Scott.

It looks like the channel was reported for nudity according to his explanation video here:

The YouTube copyright and reporting system is very messed up right now and many channels are being punished for things they really shouldn't be punished for.  Other Youtubers are able to report videos and get them taken down with literally no repercussion if it turns out their claim against the videos were false.  This is making it quite difficult for smaller channels as they have barely any way to fight the claims against them.  This has also happened to a few larger channels recently too (channels with over a million subs) and these larger channels even found it difficult to fight the claims.  The only way the larger channels were able to eventually defeat the claims against their videos was because they had such a following on YouTube and their subs made a ruckus.  See the following:

Steve Holmes, LHG, also has a second channel http:///www.youtube.com/user/PuppyLinuxWorld/videos. I would be surprised if it also wasn't his use of foul language. I watch many of his videos but he is pretty fickle about his favorite distro. It has at times been Linux Lite and may be again.

Before someone accuses me of being a prude, I was in the military 20 years and am a biker so I'll just admit that have used worse in the past. I just don't Linux You Tube videos are the right place for that language.
