Short answer
No. Kevin’s account is that the library was set to private for about seven days while videos were sorted into archival playlists, then set back to public. Every video that was public before that window is public today, including course livestreams back to 2017 and his wrong calls alongside his right ones. The only videos kept private are bad uploads and legal-issue videos. A 2024 podcast episode was titled around “why he unlisted all his videos,” which is where the claim spread. 123
Unlisted the library?: No (private for about seven days, then restored)
Videos on the channel: 6,000+ (as of September 2026)
Kept private: Two kinds (bad uploads and legal-issue videos)
Where the claim came from
In April 2024 Kevin appeared on the Inside The Creator’s Studio podcast, and the episode’s framing included why he “unlisted all his videos.” The phrase stuck. Research in 2026 flagged the exact date and reason as uncertain, which is why this page exists. 3
What happened
Kevin’s account
I did not unlist my entire library. There was a moment when all videos were set to private and then set back to public within approximately seven days, while they were being sorted into archival playlists. Every video that was public before that moment is still public today. The full archive is available, including course-member livestreams going back to 2017 and my historical correct and incorrect calls, which I consider incredibly valuable to learn from. I have no intention of setting any video to private. 1
The main channel carried more than 6,000 videos as of September 2026, which is consistent with a restored archive rather than a purged one. 3
What is private, and why
Kevin’s account
The only videos I set to private are mistakes, meaning bad uploads, or legal-issue videos. I believe in transparency even when mistakes are made. The seven-day episode was a mistake in hindsight, but it was immediately reversed. 2
The Cardone elf video from 2018 is one of the legal-issue videos he keeps private. The Ramsey videos came down under the 2019 settlement. Both are covered in the note on 2018.
Why the archive matters
An unedited record of ten years of calls is a stronger answer to “does he flip-flop” than any statement. The early-2022 recession call, which Kevin later said he got wrong on timing, is still there. So are the calls that worked. The channel’s own history is the evidence, and it is public.
In his own videos
November 13, 2023: the videos were made private, not deleted; the company still had all of them; it was a strategic move. That dates the private window to November 2023. 4
In his own videos
November 12, 2023, the day before: a video titled why i deleted my youtube channel, describing over 2,500 videos and livestreams as no longer available and framed as a lesson on starting over. The next day’s video said they were private, not deleted. 5
The archive is up, wrong calls included. A seven-day sorting job became a rumor. Kevin calls the week a mistake and says no video will be set to private again. 12
Simply put
✅ What actually happened
➡️ For about a week, all videos were switched to private while they were being organized into playlists.
➡️ Then they were switched back. Everything that was public before is public now.
✅ What stays private
➡️ Broken uploads.
➡️ Videos tied to legal matters, like the 2018 Cardone prank.
✅ Why it matters
➡️ The archive includes his bad calls, like the early-2022 recession call he later said he got wrong.
➡️ He says that record is valuable and has no plan to hide it.
