IShowSpeed, whose streams often feature him engaging in outlandish activities like setting off fireworks and trolling celebrities, visited a shooting range in a recent stream. However, this seemingly innocuous content caught the attention of YouTube moderators, who deemed it a violation of their policy.
The streamer received an email from YouTube acknowledging he might not have intentionally violated the rules and avoided a strike on his channel. However, the stream itself was deleted.
Speed expressed confusion about the decision, pointing out other gun-related content on the platform. He contacted his representative but ultimately accepted the removal. Despite the incident, he did upload a separate video of his shooting range visit to his YouTube channel.
