VTuber Ironmouse’s Main YouTube Channel Deleted, Legal Action Planned to Recover Years of Content
Ironmouse, a popular VTuber and Twitch streamer, recently faced a major issue when her main YouTube channel, which had over a million subscribers, was deleted.
This channel held years of her content, including clips from her live streams, and its removal has left her deeply disappointed.
VTuber Ironmouse’s Main YouTube Channel Deleted
On September 20, 2024, Ironmouse posted a short message on X (formerly known as Twitter), expressing her shock and sadness about the channel’s termination. She also mentioned that she is working with a legal team to try to fix the situation.
This deletion came shortly after her other YouTube channel, which stored her past streams (called a VOD channel), was also taken down. The VOD channel was removed because of copyright claims, also known as DMCA strikes.
These strikes usually happen when someone uses copyrighted material without permission, and platforms like YouTube take action by removing content or entire channels. Ironmouse is one of the most famous VTubers on Twitch, with over two million followers.
She said, “Im so sorry to inconvenience everyone who enjoys watching my videos. Hopefully this can get resolved soon.”
She won the 2023 Esports Awards for Content Creator of the Year, but she has always kept her real identity private. Even though her Twitch account is still active, both of her YouTube channels are now gone.
It seems that in order to appeal the removal of her channels, Ironmouse would need to reveal her identity, something she has avoided for personal reasons. After her main YouTube channel was deleted, Ironmouse apologized to her fans.
She expressed her regret for any inconvenience and assured everyone that she is working hard to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Currently, when anyone tries to visit Ironmouse’s YouTube channel, they get a “404 channel not found” error, which means
