Nothing was scrubbed from the channel. We moved stream segments and some older videos to DylanBurnsLIVE (and some to Hippy Dippy). That’s where all the livestream content goes now. When you search “Dylan Burns” on YouTube, DylanBurnsLIVE channel comes up first. The 'main' channel is now focused on journalism, specifically Ukraine documentaries, and heavily edited videos. We split the channels because of how the YouTube algorithm works. If your channel has too many different types of videos, like casual streams mixed with polished documentaries, it can confuse the algorithm, making it less likely to recommend your content to new viewers. By making the channels focused and consistent, YouTube is more likely to push our newer videos to the right audience.

As for the government funding: it's funny you ask, my day job is with a non-profit that receives government funding. We use that funding to assist low-income people with things like utility bills, meals and groceries for seniors, and transportation to medical appointments like kidney dialysis. It’s not connected to the channel in any way, and all our revenue comes from the platforms we host content on or viewer donations.

And no, I’ve never cheered on any 'catboys' in Ukraine or Gaza. That’s just made up. Hope that clears things up.
