2023 November - YouTube removes the "Channels" tab from channel info thus removing the featured channels and subscription list of all the accounts from visibility to others. A huge blunder as it helped share and discover different channels and also link multiple related channels

2021 June - Creepshow Art Sets World Record For Biggest % of Subscribers Lost

Recently, Creepshow Art has been involved in controversy (talking badly behind her friends back and using lolcow to fight with herself to boost her own channel among other things) and has currently fled the internet. Due to the wide reach of this controversy, she has lost a lot of subscribers. She started out at 500k and currently, as of writing this, has 365k, meaning she as lost upwards of 135k subscribers which is over 25% of her fanbase.

Commentary Stats states this is the biggest % loss by a creator in the first month - https://twitter.com/commentarystats/status/1406177003087163392

They also breakdown other people's % loss - https://twitter.com/commentarystats/status/1405860900456734723

Emily Artful - **https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3xHC4GwNrQ**

There are a number of personal accounts from her (former?) friends about their experiences which, include Ready To Glare and her editor nBurd. I won't link other people's summaries, because the full story pretty much is here.

There was never an official video by her but Creepshow's sibling spoke about it too which was summarised by YouTubers, despite it being posted on Twitter, her siblings Twitter is currently private.

​

Creepshow has also not really responded outside of saying that her IP was spoofed (in a now deleted community post on YouTube) and the posts weren't her, she has allegedly ghosted her friendship circle and it's unsure if she will return.

2021 May - Sony claims EarthBound soundtrack uploads; SNESMD16-OST channel terminated

I'm basically going to transcribe the entirety of this video from 20 May 2021 and its description here, as they know more about this topic than I do.

But what I will at least do is show evidence of SNESMD16-OST's termination and its millions of views on the EarthBound soundtrack: Before | After

> Recently, Sony Music has taken down THE ENTIRE EARTHBOUND OST from YouTube. They also took down uploads of the EarthBound Beginnings vocal album.
>
> They also blocked the Pollyanna tribute animation.
>
> Not only that, but a channel that uploads SNES OSTs, SNESMD16-OST, was TERMINATED.
>
> If you're wondering why Sony is taking down the music, it's because they own the distribution rights to the EarthBound OST. They also own the rights to the EarthBound Beginnings vocal album.
>
> This is bullshit, honestly. Why are they suddenly doing this now? They were fine up up ^sic until now.
>
> The EarthBound Beginnings vocal album is on Spotify, but two tracks CAN'T BE STREAMED IN THE US. You can't stream Eight Melodies and the Smiles and Tears Demo Track.

> UPDATE: The Pollyanna animation has been restored. The soundtrack videos are still gone, and so is SNESMD16-OST's channel. Let's Plays, walkthroughs, reviews, YouTube streams, and commentary videos are also getting hit with Content ID claims, leading to Sony making money off of the claimed videos. BruTalc's EarthBound commentary video was also hit with a copyright strike, and it got deleted. I'm unsure if Twitch streams and VODs on Twitch are affected, but I'll continue to look into it.

As an update to their update, brutalc's commentary is once more online: Twitter post

/r/earthbound's reaction to the animation's removal: Reddit post
