Popular VTuber Ironmouse, known for her engaging streams and massive online following, is facing a major setback as her secondary YouTube channel has been terminated. With over 2 million followers on Twitch, 1 million subscribers on her main YouTube channel, and 1 million followers on Twitter, Ironmouse has become one of the most-watched VTubers in the world. However, her VOD (Video on Demand) channel has recently been removed from YouTube after receiving multiple copyright strikes, sparking concern among her fans and fellow creators.
The Termination of Ironmouse’s VOD Channel
Ironmouse addressed the issue on her current stream, explaining that her VOD channel had been hit with three copyright strikes in quick succession, leading to its termination. Although YouTube allows creators to dispute copyright claims, Ironmouse has chosen not to do so due to privacy concerns. Disputing claims requires personal information to be submitted, and Ironmouse expressed reluctance to share her personal details with the claimants, especially since YouTube has not responded to her or her management’s efforts to resolve the situation.
The decision to let the channel be deleted, while frustrating for her, was made out of concern for her personal safety. “I don’t want to put my safety in danger because somebody doesn’t want to answer,” she said during her stream. Despite reaching out through her management, Ironmouse has yet to receive any support from YouTube on the issue.
Community Response and Support
Ironmouse’s predicament has sparked widespread discussion among the VTuber community, with many creators expressing their frustrations with YouTube’s copyright system. Fellow VTubers and fans have spoken out on social media, highlighting the challenges creators face when dealing with copyright disputes, especially the lack of clear communication from YouTube.
Save Point Cafe, a prominent supporter of the VTuber community, also commented on the situation, urging fans to remain calm and avoid negative posts that could further complicate efforts to resolve the issue. They reassured fans that the VODs would find a new home where Ironmouse’s content could continue to be enjoyed.
The termination of Ironmouse’s VOD channel underscores ongoing issues creators face with YouTube’s copyright enforcement and dispute resolution system. As Ironmouse and her team work to find a solution, the VTuber community has rallied around her, advocating for better support and transparency from the platform. For now, fans are encouraged to continue supporting Ironmouse as she navigates this challenging situation, and to remain patient as her team seeks a resolution to preserve her valuable content.
