Thank you so much! 💕

Linking the Twitter post here might help people find it easier to retweet

This really sucks, but I hope that it doesn't discourage you from continuing on. Even if you have to create a new channel, I think you have enough loyal fans to rebuild.

PapaXan

I don't see the Tweet on your X account.

Kevin Karst

I still don't understand how this even happened. If YouTube isn't happy with a video, they delete the video, not the entire channel. Also creators always get multiple warnings before a channel is deleted. I just don't get why and how this happened, it doesn't make any sense. :-( And now they even rejected the appeal? What?!? YouTube has officially gone insane. Btw, can't you just create a new channel and upload all your old and new videos there? I assume you still have copies of your videos saved somewhere?

PapaXan

They'll get in trouble for that, unfortunately.

Same, I always recall the 3 strike rule before banishing an entire channel. I think with such a large fanbase, MM have the resources to bounce back with a new channel, but these types of actions can devastate a smaller youtuber's means of income. And it is not the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time I've seen it happen.

Danny Garlin

Maybe it's time to banned YouTube

Chi, I know it hurts to see the channel you've grown and all the fans you've picked up, and to see that channel just disappear one morning, please remember the fans are still here supporting you and will wait and follow you around with any channels you continue, once the situation is all resolved.

BangorsMostBaked

Again, I'm very sorry this is happening to you 😭 please don't be discouraged by this incident! I know it's hard, but I will certainly do what little I can do to help! Really hope we win this!

Duncan

So sorry, Chi. So much unnecessary work for you. For what it’s worth, I’ve fulfilled your request on Twitter (‘X’). Again, just remember that you’ll come through this, and everyone’s supporting you 🙂💪🏻

Digitalversager

I retweeted your post, I hope that helps. There has to be a chance you can get your channel back. It's so frustrating that social media platforms seem to interpret their rules so arbitrarily. I hope you get your channel back soon, Chi, and if there's anything else we can do, just let us know.💜

Matthew Maxon

I really hope this turns out well. You do such a good job on following the rules for sex, violence & even language. This is ridiculous. It's done by algorithm & not a person.

Duncan

Also, let’s all take a step back and look at it objectively (which is obviously difficult for Chi, but maybe a necessary thought for her)….. It’s only been a couple of days. Unfortunately these processes may take up a lot of time and admin. As much as one wants to click their fingers and resolve it, it doesn’t quite work that way. Chi - try to not stress (if that’s any kind of advice), and prepare to be patient. But you’ll get there 🙂👊🏻

David Coley

I reposted on twitter or X I hope it helps in some small way. Good luck. 🙂

NOTTHELASTONEMANNN

straight crazy they rejected your appeal when you showed other channels have blurred less and stayed up, maybe contact other reaction channels to see if they know what to do/can help out

Frozen Yak

I'm curious if there was any prior copyright claims on past videos that may have accumulated/contributed to this. Have you spoken over the phone with any YouTube human person, or has it all been using their system?

Kawliga48

Maybe people should abandon youtube and try rumble or so other platform. Youtube is so corrupt

Snick

Chi .. Please don’t get demoralised. I can tell you are a good human being. Yes, you try getting your channel back. But my suggestion would be to start a backup channel and do what you love. Life is unfair but you have people who love and support your work. Please don’t let this setback affect you. I know it hurts as you put your heart and soul into something and then something happens which is out of your hands. Please remember the last 30 mins of the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life”. I can tell you have made a difference to a lot of people’s lives. You give it another shot with a backup channel and you will be surprised to see how many people will love and support you.

Duncan

@Frozen Yak…. There was probably a telephone helpline for YouTube in 1957, quite possibly discontinued, now! 😳

Milvo

There is a youtube channel called Movies And Munchies that had less subs than you and can barely get 10k views on his videos. I wonder if it was him that attacked your channel. If you're gonna move on and start a new channel, I suggest another name other than Movie Munchies, also open a Rumble account too and link it to your youtube you can make that extra cash. Also suggest you put your logo in the corner of every video you upload, kinda like a brand. Recommend having exclusive movies for your patreon members and do a short pause to advertise it in the middle of your reaction video that way you promote your patreon and you prevent those from taking your videos and uploading it in full like Isabeau Bordeaux. Everyone here should report her to Youtube Support. Now I hope you will still upload HERE, as I am anxiously waiting for your Game of Thrones reaction. I feel bad for you girls, you are not alone either many had youtube done this to them. So I support whatever decision you make. My advice, don't give up. Your supporters will sub at your new youtube channel.

Chrono Gamer

It is really unfair to terminate your channel without any warnings first, and then no possibility of appeal. That is not a good way to run a business, and I'd say it is unprofessional of YouTube. Don't give up hope!

Michael Gilbrook

Hello Chi. First, this was *totally* undeserved. As you demonstrated in your comparison video, the editing of your movie reactions always complied with YouTube standards. Removing your channel, rather than challenging the individual video(s) that were deemed problematic, seems like a completely arbitrary and capricious action by YouTube. I have retweeted your pleas to YouTube and to IronMouse, as requested. I hope it helps! Please obtain legal counsel to help you fight this. Of course, you could try to create a new channel as some have suggested, but you would lose all the brand awareness you have built. And there is no guarantee that a similar action wouldn't be taken against your new channel! I think your best approach is to continue to fight for the restoration of the Movie Munchies channel. Keep us apprised and let your fans know if there is anything else we can do to help!

Michael Gilbrook

I did a quick search and there's actually *several* channels with the name "Movie Munchies" or a slight variation on that name! I thought YouTube had a mechanism to prevent the use of a channel name that's already been taken, so I'm not sure how this is possible. But you may be right that some "competitor" is behind the takedown of *our* Movie Munchies channel!

Duncan

One can only hope a human picks up Chi’s appeal! 🙂

Ty

I grabbed dinner with a buddy yesterday, that had this same prob. We talked It over and concluded that a real guy'll eventually look it over, it might take week or two though. Keep keeping on, Munchies! 🙏🙏🙏

Daryl 👽

Yes! Ok Chi, I’ll go retweet!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Duncan

Yep. Any reasonable admin should pick this up eventually on the long list of appeals and go “this is nonsense, channel reinstated.”

Johnny Sondergard

I'm shocked 😨 appeal rejected, !!! so they didn't even care to take a look at the videos

AnnaSama

Don't give up! We will keep fighting with you. If you think it's time to re-upload on a new channel, I suggest going a different direction with the name of the channel and putting "from movie munchies" in video titles.

Frozen Yak

This must be very stressful for both Chi and Hella. Poor them. They'll need a short vacation after this.

Ty

Yeah, that level of stress is awful. I've been through it, and I know how draining it is. Vacation sounds like the perfect remedy. Chi & Hella, don't beat yourselves up!

Luke Drumm

So unfair. Hope YouTube will listen to you. Praying for a good outcome for you.

Proto Type

My channel got deleted in 2019 with no warning and no real reason. Maybe it's a good time to start a new channel on Rumble? They are far less censorious, and as long as it's not illegal, you can post whatever you want. I'm sorry your channel got banned.... I hate YT...

Pinitchio

Ironmouse is a good person, she'll probably reach out to you with helpful suggestions. I watch Ironmouse game stream on twitch sometimes; she has a great singing voice. There's still hope Chi will get her Channel back. If 'politics' is involved, which would be unfortunate, things could take longer. America is too politically polarized ATM.

Michael J

Hi Chi. I put a recommendation for a law firm and potential attorney in California where YouTube/Google is based in a DM. If you need additional options, just let me know.

BA Charles

i watch rumble for some things, it might be a good idea

Ravingrabbits

Very strange that the channel was taken down and not just a strike? You girls keep your chin up you are doing great work 👏 no good deed goes unpunished. But also no good deed goes unrewarded.

Chrono Gamer

I just want to re-iterate that this is very unprofessional of YouTube. You followed the guidelines and were permanently banned without any warning first. They could have taken down the individual video. Clearly, there wasn't much actual thought put into their decision. It is strange that so many other YouTube channels have reactions to the same movie without being banned. I don't know what that implies on YouTube's part, but at the very least, they are being unprofessional. We need more alternatives to YouTube, honestly.

Window Bird

It broke my heart when I saw all your videos gone! Hope it turns out ok. I watch on my phone so hard to watch the full reacts synced up ☹️. I’d ask you to post the edited ones here in the meantime but you’re probably scared of losing Patreon too

Nick

You are finally back! Congratulations! I am very happy for you!

Looney

The Munchies are back!!!! Hell yes!!

Snick

Congratulations. The channel is back. Stay happy now Chi :) Just be careful of R 18+ movies. There are only a few of them. Not worth the risk.

Tim

Yes!!! It feels sooooo good to be back!!! Thank you to everyone who helped out!

Chrono Gamer

I knew that you would succeed :)

Tom Evans

A few hours ago I sent "feedback" to Youtube about your channel, and suddenly it's back, so now I have a very inflated sense of my influence over Youtube. I feel very powerful. 😆😆😆 It was all me!! 🙌🙌 (nah)

Duncan

We can all bin off our ‘X’ (Twitter) accounts again, now. Job done ❤️

Scott

Need a shirt with chi on front (I schoots them) Hella on onback ( you not do that ) lol yall too funny
