I wish I knew the answer. I check every week or so to see if he has posted anything new. It is like he just dropped off the side of the planet. Hopefully someone else here will have some info.

I love his videos!
I saw a quick video from him a week or so ago saying he just got burned out on making YouTube videos and was taking a break. He promised to be back soon

Bolt Action Reloading mentioned the same thing- that he had talked to him and that was the case. I haven't stopped my Patreon to JRB...I hope he is back soon.

I also very much enjoy his Productions. I assumed that he got busy at work or took one of his many breaks off like he does for hunting season. We all need to recharge the batteries every once in awhile and I for one would rather have him take a break and come back than to not come back at all.

Seems we are looking for something to do to pass the time lately. One can binge watch all his videos in a short amount of time. It actually takes a fair amount of time to produce a quality video and I don't blame him for stepping back for a bit. Makes it that much sweeter when things resume IMHO.
Good to see it is not permanent.

I have no idea how he dodges the crazy YouTube sensors but I'm happy they so far leave his channel alone.

JRB is the greatest of the reloading youtubers in my book.
He is the reason that I reload and I am successful at it.
I recommend all shooters, that ask me about reloading as new guy, to see his beginners guide videos.
Just before the "beer crisis" he mentioned in a comment to his latest video, that he was considering his job, like he have done before.
He was looking at the possibility to go full time youtube like he hav done before.
And then the world got really wired.
I really hope that he finds himself, a he finds the happiness that he needs to make videos.
If not it's okay, he should feel good about it, not doing it because viewers demand it.
All the best to Johnny and you guy's.
Don't blow your face off.

YouTube has been coming down on all the gun related content. First it demonatized pretty much anything to do with firearms. Then from what I understand it has really come after the reloading content. I've been able to find some of the deleted videos on https://thereloadersnetwork.com/ Unfortunately, it's much harder to search for what you're looking for, and it doesn't have a suggestion algorithm like YouTube.

I see he posted a new video today. Haven’t got to watch it yet.

Same here. They defunded most of my reloading videos because "manufacturing ammunition" is a banned subject.

One thing that's hard to appreciate from the viewer side is just how much time is tied up in editing and uploading content. And that YT puts a ton of pressure on creators to build view counts (even when demonetized).
Pretty average to spend about 10 minutes editing per every minute of displayed content.
That varies based on just how much you are willing to spend on a video editor.
And, everyone agrees than audio editing is a huge and giant pain--even with wireless mikes and the like giving direct audio laydown (that you can edit visually, and tip into the video at matched audio levels and the like).
So you want (need) to have an Intro, and an opening Card, then you splice in your content. If you have linking cards (the little flags in the corners of the screen) you have to add those in, too. If you want to fast-forward through content, you have to record that on the video editor. Any applied text or graphics needs to be added in, too.
You probably want to watch the edited content (even after having been neck deep in it in the editor and are tired, cranky, and want to do anything else). Then, the upload has to run. Ten minute video takes between 60 and 90 minutes to upload (depending on your connection). A thirty minute video can take three hours to u/l. And, if there's a hiccup or uh-oh, you have to upload again.
The people turning out a video a day are super heroes in my book. Once a week is a pretty steep hurdle for people with 40 hour week jobs, too.
On top of all this is the time you spend reading comments and tracking views, viewlengths, etc. Answering comments can be good, but can be like teaching pigs to fly--it annoys the pig and makes you look foolish.
And, naturally, there are trolls. Which means you have to police your comments and spend time blocking the trolls and malware types (YT will yell at you, and threaten channel closure, if you don't).
So, remember to support the people making content you enjoy. Hit that "Like" button, as it moves them in the YT algorithm. Hitting the Subscribe button also good; the Notification Bell is very handy, too. (Both of those index in YT metrics). Joining Patreon for a content creator is more of a personal decision. It doesn't help the YT metrics, but it "pays" way better than YT does.
YT is running about--if monetized-- $1.30 per 10,000 views, but only if you average 10K views per week, every week--back to all thous viewing metrics. So, let's say you are running 20K views per video. That's $2.60 a week.
A hundred Patreons at $1 per month beats that with a stick.
Also, YT is in a bind, they oversold advertising (and demonetized huge swathes of vids and creators), so they are overlaying ads on channels, as frequently as one per two minutes of run time. It's really important to tell the creators if that is happening in the Comments on a video (YT will not tell them). Especially on limited Income and Demonetized content.

I really enjoy his content but I will not jump on this new live stream thing. I appreciate all his editing and will continue to recommend his videos.

Livestream can be interesting. It can be a lot more personal with the creator of the content. It's very much a way to participate in the community of the people following content.
YT imposes fewer rules on LS (and pays significantly less, too; while applying more rules).
Now, LS can also be a hot mess, too.
As recorded content, it can be hard to approach, as it's often very much "in the moment." Which, a year later can be somewhat dated.

I'm guessing that as his new videos focus on shooting and analyzing the results, not showing any reloading footage, that he isn't falling video to the Manufacturing Ammunition ban. He tells you what he's loading, how much powder he's using, the primer, and the OAL, then shows the shooting of those rounds. Thus, snowflakes aren't triggered by seeing him using a loading press.
Again, this is just my guess.

Reasonably good guess.
YT is run by bots. The current metric is that 500 hours of content are uploaded to YT every minute.
For perspective, that's 720,000 hours--82 year's--of content per day.
The estimate is that there's 15 million lines of code in about 150 modules.
A bunch of what happens to creators is triggered by complaints and reporting of videos. Which gets handled by bots and referred to other bots. Only takes one troll to ruin it for everyone else. And, it's hard to get a human to intervene, since they need a bot to go find out what the other bots are doing, and nobody underpaid the coders to set it up for upper level administration.
Which is also why "like" and "Subscribe" can keep your preferred creators content flowing.
