Hello and please read! I wanted to make a longer post about this but I'm currently studying for exams and will save it for later. It'll probably be a bit too late by then though, hence this post for now.
TL;DR: In regards to the new COPPA policy about to be enforced by YouTube, I won't be deleting my channel. I've neither set it as "Made for kids" nor "Not made for kids", but to review this individually for each video. My plan is to let YouTube decide when the day comes and go with that.
Some videos definitely won't make it, but hopefully some of the rest do. A couple of them have already been flagged as such, and I won't try to fight those as that will probably draw attention to the channel and risk the other videos.
I encourage pony fans to save their favourite videos if they know that they're in danger of removal. The community has pulled through well over the years, but it's always good to be prepared!

If the channel gets deleted, most of my stuff has been saved here: www.theponyarchive.com/archive/youtube/Squeaky_Bel…. It's a bit messy, but at least it's there.
