@@YouMeTheMovies This is like The avengers but reactors version, dont know if it just a american thing at the moment but the european channels such as "The homies" and "Dasha reacts" Have still been able to upload long and regular reactions to movies that others seem to have had issues with
Dang, this is sad news. You are one of my all time favorites. You bring awareness to content people may not know about, so in ways you are free advertising for them. You are also quite wholesome and thoughtful to your approach to this entire genre of youtube video content. I really hope someone with an actual organic heart finds this and figures out what is going on. RUclips and the studios are better off with you around. Lets mend it, not end it RUclips. Thank You!
I'm gutted for you Brandon! You're one of my favourite reactors (been here since Breaking Bad!). I hope it gets sorted out soon. Justice for Brandon!!!
To be fair, the alternative to the current RUclips system could be much, much worse. Elsewhere, the copyright holders would just deal directly with the people using copyright footage (such as parts of a movie). This means that people like Brandon wouldn't get copyright strikes or demonitization, but letters from lawyers in his mail instead. Instead of having to convince RUclips staff that their videos are fair use, they might have to convince a judge in a courtroom that their content falls under fair use. That is if he can afford the lawyers to fight such a case in court against a team of lawyers of major movie studios like warner bros, disney, etc. I get that getting demonitized sucks, but getting sued for copyright infringement is definetly way worse. Just take a few seconds and imagine what it would be like getting sued by disney and having to somehow resolve that situation. Reaction RUclipsrs may be demonitised or even banned from RUclips, but at least they're pretty much safe from getting lawsuits (as far as I know). People often underestimate how little risk RUclips creators who may or may not break copyright law get because of the deals RUclips has with the copyright holders. RUclips itself pretty much has no choice. They have to appease copyright holders and provide some sort of way to protect their intellectual property while also not completely screwing over their users. Whatever policy they decide on, it has to be applied to about 30 000 hours of content per hour, so enforcing that with a human workforce in a transparent and consitent manner is simply impossible. The sheer amout of footage on RUclips is simply to vast and incomprehensibly large to realisticly do that. I'm not suggesting that this system is fair, nor am I suggesting that people like Brandon deserve this. But I do think that pointing the finger at RUclips isn't entirely fair. Laws are laws, and movie studios don't like it when other people make money with their intellectual property. On any other medium (radio, television, etc.) Copyright infringement is handled way more harshly than here. Punishment for copyright infringements on RUclips are relatively mild, all things considered. Btw. I'm not a lawyer or anything, this is just my layman understanding of a topic that is interesting, but also very complex. So it's possible that I'm wrong on some of this.
@@sertu1462 The issue wasn't that RUclips is directly screwing him personally and that they're solely at fault, only that it has such inconsistent enforcement of it's own rules. As made clear by the several examples used in the video.
We need to fuckin fight them and not just sit by watching them steal ppls shit bc theyve made a lot of money off this channel. YT makes a lot of fuckin money off ppls channels.
Whats crazy is reactions arent really hurting the studios revenue. Most people watch reactions to things theyve already seen, and vicariously get to watch it for the first time through someone else's eyes. Its just the studios being petty.
Yeah you'd be pretty crazy to substitute actually watching a movie with a chopped up RUclips reaction version of it. And anybody who's willing to settle for that (assuming they even exist) was most likely never going to pay to see the movie either way. I remember in the early days of letsplay gaming some people wanted to shut that down too for the exact same reason, gamers using copyrighted video game footage they had no legal rights to without permission, before they wisened up to the fact that all it really was for the publishers was a whole lot of free advertising for their products straight into the heart of their target demographics. I hope the music and movie industries eventually wake up and realise that the same is essentially true for reaction videos as well.
true most reactors don't show enough for it to be a true substitute and if anything it could even be an advertisement, say someone goes ahead and watches a reaction video for a movie they weren't interested in because they like the reactor and maybe the reaction actually pique's their interest enough to watch the movie properly, and in this scenario if it weren't for the reaction they probably never would have watched the movie to begin with so the studio actually gained instead of lost
It might also be some studio subdivision or contracted 3rd-party company with an internal list of which YT channels to strike, so they can justify their own existence.
I disagree actually. I love watching react channels view my favorite shows, but I can’t remember the last time I actually sat down and watched the show myself. And I probably never will, because I’d rather watch someone else see it for the first time. If that wasn’t an option than I would just rewatch the show myself. That definitely reduces the amount of views a show gets, but obviously this doesn’t apply to first time viewers.
Wow. RUclips really has been changing as the years go on. A lot of channels have been dealing with this too. It’s widespread. Really sucks you got it too. Hope everything works out my guy. I’ll be here. You’re my favorite RUclipsr by far 💪
I agree that it's terrible news because this channel is class. However I do understand that the companies that make these films/shows do own the rights and RUclips is caught in the middle of these companies and their users. There hopefully will be a resolution to copyright laws to give this new media of 'reaction channels' room to exist.
@@rustincohle2135 those are all good ones, except I haven’t seen any Shanelle Riccio’s videos so I’ll check those out. I still think Brandon has more interesting reactions tho bc he doesn’t play up his emotional responses and gets way more into movies than most reactors. Like he’s not gonna laugh or dryly sit there when a sad event happens, he actually responds emotionally
@@Flaming_penguin "he doesn’t play up his emotional responses and gets way more into movies than most reactors" Mary does that too. I think she's the GOAT.
You are one of my absolute favorite reactors on here. YT has been dropping the ball lately, I'm sorry. Hoping you're able to get it sorted soon buddy. Love from Canada.
What a sad situation, this is one of my favorite channels, it was thanks to you that I started following reaction videos. I hope everything is resolved soon, you have our support
Sorry to hear man, I've been going through it too. Hopefully youtube will change something eventually to give creators at least some type of edge from the automated system!
@mate Is that why you clicked on a video from a reaction channel and then scrolled all the way down through the comments to tell us reaction channels aren’t original? Take a moment and think about that. For your own sake. 🤦🏻
@mate First of all, children your age can’t reach that level. Second, your comments are showing who you really are (and that stupid reply isn’t original. Take a minute and think about another one). Now, get lost. My exchange with you is far better than you ever deserve.
This is happening to another channel I frequent too, around the same time frame as well. The channel is Dead Meat, sucks to see this happening regardless of the amount of blurring or work around with editing
Nothing posted for close to a year now. I guess he quit RUclips, or is still trying to find a way forward. Either way, Brandon had lots of fans who appreciated his calm demeanor and sincere reactions. I personally hated solo reaction channels until this guy came along. I hope he's finding success in whatever he's up to now.
So sorry you are going thru this you are one of my fav reactors and have been watching for a while. Love your videos and I hope you get your channel running how u want soon
I'd be supportive to see you gear the channel toward a movie review / recap channel. I love hearing your input and commentary on movies I've loved. Hate to see you taken down, and the reactions are bar none the best.. but your commentary has always been insightful and I could listen to you review or explain movies all day man
I'm sorry to hear this Brandon, I really enjoy your reactions. A couple of RUclips channels have been reporting this problem. I hope this problem is resolved quickly.
Omg Brandon!!! I’m so incredibly sorry you’re going through this… you know I’ve had a pretty similar issue in the past so if you want to discuss strategies like Popcorn In Bed mentioned, please feel free to email me or add me on discord!! We’re here to help one another! Good luck Brandon stay strong!
Hi Brandon! Our channel has been having a lot more difficulty with copyright over the past few weeks as well. Do you think there might be some sort of concerted push over at RUclips to crack down on reaction channels? I really hope that isn't the case. Love your content, hope you can get past these issues!
Dang dude that's terrible news. Well I greatly enjoy your content so I'll get it where I can find it and tune into the gaming channel. I hope support over there is useful. You got my vote and hope I can do my part to keep your channel growing. Best of luck and I hope you have a good holiday season!
Hey Brandon, it's been a while since you uploaded this. Do you have any updates you can share? We hope it's been resolved or at least most of your videos are still monetized.
Thanks for making this video, Brandon! Really sorry to hear about this situation. From the sounds of it, you seem to have tried to do all you can and are just doing your best to weather out this storm. It must be hard not to feel personally targeted, especially when you pointed out other people's reaction videos for similar content was completely left alone, but good on you for being able to keep your cool. Stay strong, man!
I can’t even believe this. you, of all people, shouldn’t be targeted like this. you’re one of the most wholesome channels on RUclips so for your videos to get demonetized shows there is a complete lack of rhyme or reason to RUclips’s copyright claim system. and how are they even able to claim full-length reactions with no sound or footage? I don’t even understand that nonsense….I’m so sorry you have to deal with this Brandon but please know that I’ll be here supporting you through it all. ❤
Hey @brandonlikesmovies, I noticed it's been a while since your last reaction video. Not sure about your status at this point, but you were one of the first reactors I started following regularly and I hope you'll be able to keep posting videos in the future! If by any chance you're taking suggestions, I'd recommend anything involving Edward Burns (one of the soldiers in Saving Pvt. Ryan), especially films he directed.
Maaan I'm sorry for all this Brandon, I hope things chill out soon, this isn't fair. Also, you edited this video really well; I think telling a story is always more engaging when it has clips and pics to go with it. Thanks for sharing all this, but don't feel bad at all for any of it (it's not your fault). We support you and we're rooting for you. :)
So sorry to hear of all your troubles man, this sucks. I've seen one or two other channels like yours throughout the years face similar challengers. I hope you can get it all sorted out so we can support watching future reactions. ...if not, video games?? IDK.
Oof Brandon that blows. You are the best movie reactor on this platform and it’s horrible that RUclips is doing this. These companies need to get with the times and realize reactions do not hurt them. RUclips needs to fix their system because amazing RUclipsrs keep getting hurt by it.
that really sucks, man. You're my fav reactor by far, hate that you're going through such a hard time right now, it must be so frustrating doing all that editing work etc on your vids only to get copyright slammed left and right. And really unfair that you alone get singled out for your NOPE vid, like WTH! Hope you'll keep at it, and hopefully they'll eventually leave you alone, or at the very least not hound you so mercilessly.
dude i'm so sorry. let me know if i can help with any advice or anything else! this sucks for you man and i know it could happen to any one of us. here for you
Hey mate, I'm so gutted to hear about this! I know how finicky CR claims can be. It's so ridiculous how the power balance pushes reactors literally into early retirement out of pure frustration. I have a suggestion (apologies in advance if they're stupid and you've already tried them): - Have you tried watermarks over the film? - Have you thought about making reactions in multiple parts? I truly hope you get past this, you're one of my favourite reaction channels! Good luck!🥰
I think his account has some sort of hidden flag that makes any videos he uploads get heavily scrutinized more than usual. I don't suppose there is much he can do about it, though I suppose watermarks would be as good an attempt as any and still probably worth trying. It's a little sad, because copyright laws should still technically allow small clips to be used. RUclips is doing this to avoid any potential lawsuits and in the process is making any reaction content creator's life hell.
Holy crap! Bro, I've been watching your reactions since July last year, and yeah, the censorship thing has really gotten crazy this year. I look forward to your next reaction 👍 take care dude
Ah gee, man. My NOPE reaction has had 0 issues & I remember being the first one on RUclips to upload my reaction to it, it’s a miracle I wasn’t copyrighted for it. It’s such a pain, I’ve ran into these issues too, RUclips need to sort this out. We’ll be here waiting for you when everything is sorted! Much love
I really enjoy your channel. RUclips really does screw over content creators. Your videos are no different than many RUclipsrs who review movies. Stay strong!
well its hard when there are hundreds of thousands of channels with more than 100k subscribers, if each one has a small problem, it will take time for it to be fixed
@@oliver-04 this is not about fixing small issues, this is huge flaw in the system, with no creators, youtube will go down. one would expect that they take better care of the hand that feeds them.
@@oliver-04 for example they could switch their system up, so the studios can not randomly claim videos with little to nothing to do for the creator. if the system would be like the studio can make a complaint, and then somebody will check. Cause the current way is free reign for the studios to claim, block and strike whatever they want. the creators get served their punishment, without any kind of evidenc of wrongdoing, how is such a system active in the first place?
@@broncobalboa well thats the thing "then somebody will check" there are thousands of videos using copyrighted songs, it would be impossible for a group of people to check all those videos
I thought you were getting burntout or something, haven't watched your videos a lot lately but mainly because you're not watching something I'm interested in, but you are one of my favorite reactors, I really hope things get right and you are back on track, I've been subscribed since you had like 20k or less I think, good luck man.
Never ever count on RUclips to be reliable. One day they might decide all reaction videos are now demonetized. It has happened with other categories of videos. You should expect them to pull the rug out from underneath you at any moment because that is exactly what they will do.
sounds like they suck and can't be trusted to do anything other than be unfair, inconsistent, and suck, not to mention have no recourse and no due process and no nothing, like a dictatorship.
The creator is the person that made the film Brandon is reacting to. They are protecting the creator. Brandon isn't a creator. He's just making money off someone else's hard work. Brandon simply doesn't do enough commentary/critique to make it safe. For the most part... we are just watching the movie along with him (albeit a clipped version). To see how the fair use of intellectual property is supposed to be utilized, watch an episode of 'Siskel and Ebert'. They will show 30 seconds total and then talk about the movie for 5 minutes. That's how its supposed to be used.
@@nickbeef2850 actually 10 minutes is allowed under dmca Brandon has always abided by that and his videos still get taken down which isn’t fair when his uploads are completely legal
This is horrible! I really hope this gets sorted out for you, and I'll be here whenever you upload. You are most definitely one of my favorite channels, and I wish you all the best.
You may have already done so, but maybe reaching out to other reactors for advice might be a good idea. Leo from Mr Video was having a very difficult time with his videos a few months ago. He got to the point of mixing in music reactions into the movie videos for a month or so just to get them to pass. However he seems to have passed through the storm and seems to be posting normally again. So maybe he learned something helpful or maybe he just got lucky and the scrutiny let up eventually. Good luck man, I hope you don’t have to quit, but with your current situation seeming so sisyphean I can definitely understand your frustration.
Well- that and him getting out of jail recently after a month for smoking weed behind the wheel, which was total bullcrap! A month for some weed? Stupid!
I hope you continue to keep on making content in spite of all the bs YT and studios keep inflicting upon your channel. Will continue to support you here and Patreon you're one of the all time great channels my friend!

But Popcorn in Bed posting with no issues. Conspiracy maybe?
Keep going we’ll follow you whatever you decide to do! ❤
That sucks Brandon! Hopefully something can get resolved soon, it's awful that this keeps happening out there ☹️
Dang that sucks man. I hope you can get it figured out. You are one of my favorite reactors.
This is insane. I hope you can get your channel back :(
I can’t even believe this. you, of all people, shouldn’t be targeted like this. you’re one of the most wholesome channels on RUclips so for your videos to get demonetized shows there is a complete lack of rhyme or reason to RUclips’s copyright claim system. and how are they even able to claim full-length reactions with no sound or footage? I don’t even understand that nonsense….I’m so sorry you have to deal with this Brandon but please know that I’ll be here supporting you through it all. ❤

Hey @brandonlikesmovies, I noticed it's been a while since your last reaction video. Not sure about your status at this point, but you were one of the first reactors I started following regularly and I hope you'll be able to keep posting videos in the future!
If by any chance you're taking suggestions, I'd recommend anything involving Edward Burns (one of the soldiers in Saving Pvt. Ryan), especially films he directed.
Dang Brandon, that's rough! 🤞🏿Hope everything everything works out🤞🏿
I’m so sorry this is happening to you cause I’m always so excited to hear your insights on movies and media.
this is happening to all my fav reaction creators, ugh!
Maaan I'm sorry for all this Brandon, I hope things chill out soon, this isn't fair. Also, you edited this video really well; I think telling a story is always more engaging when it has clips and pics to go with it.
Thanks for sharing all this, but don't feel bad at all for any of it (it's not your fault).
We support you and we're rooting for you. :)
Sad to hear, man, you're a good watch. Wishing you luck sorting it out.
So sorry to hear of all your troubles man, this sucks. I've seen one or two other channels like yours throughout the years face similar challengers. I hope you can get it all sorted out so we can support watching future reactions. ...if not, video games?? IDK.
Oof Brandon that blows. You are the best movie reactor on this platform and it’s horrible that RUclips is doing this. These companies need to get with the times and realize reactions do not hurt them. RUclips needs to fix their system because amazing RUclipsrs keep getting hurt by it.
that really sucks, man. You're my fav reactor by far, hate that you're going through such a hard time right now, it must be so frustrating doing all that editing work etc on your vids only to get copyright slammed left and right. And really unfair that you alone get singled out for your NOPE vid, like WTH! Hope you'll keep at it, and hopefully they'll eventually leave you alone, or at the very least not hound you so mercilessly.
Dang dude :( hope it works out, I love watching your reactions.
That truly sucks, bro. I adored your adventure through It's Always Sunny! I hope you bounce back, my dude! You're one of the OG's.
I don't get it Popcorn in Bed gets away with it.
dude i'm so sorry. let me know if i can help with any advice or anything else! this sucks for you man and i know it could happen to any one of us. here for you
Appreciate that so much Mary!
I had a copyright notice on a private music video. It was for a party. I’m always curious how it works for patroons? Are those on private YT?
shit brandon im so sorry bro! youre a chill dude and youtube keeps pullin this shit with the best youtubers. pullin for ya buddy 👊🏾
Hey mate, I'm so gutted to hear about this! I know how finicky CR claims can be. It's so ridiculous how the power balance pushes reactors literally into early retirement out of pure frustration.
I have a suggestion (apologies in advance if they're stupid and you've already tried them):
- Have you tried watermarks over the film?
- Have you thought about making reactions in multiple parts?
I truly hope you get past this, you're one of my favourite reaction channels! Good luck!🥰
I think his account has some sort of hidden flag that makes any videos he uploads get heavily scrutinized more than usual. I don't suppose there is much he can do about it, though I suppose watermarks would be as good an attempt as any and still probably worth trying. It's a little sad, because copyright laws should still technically allow small clips to be used. RUclips is doing this to avoid any potential lawsuits and in the process is making any reaction content creator's life hell.
Holy crap! Bro, I've been watching your reactions since July last year, and yeah, the censorship thing has really gotten crazy this year. I look forward to your next reaction 👍 take care dude
Keep it up my dude. Always like your reactions
I hope everything works out for you. I've been watching your channel for a long time. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Anyone can claim copyright and there's a bunch of scammers claiming it.
Ah gee, man. My NOPE reaction has had 0 issues & I remember being the first one on RUclips to upload my reaction to it, it’s a miracle I wasn’t copyrighted for it. It’s such a pain, I’ve ran into these issues too, RUclips need to sort this out.
We’ll be here waiting for you when everything is sorted! Much love
Do you do the second claim. Once I dispute it it gets up held I do the counter and tell them to take legal action. They always drop the claim then
It was a hellva good ride, Love the Mt. Mutombo reference!
I really enjoy your channel. RUclips really does screw over content creators. Your videos are no different than many RUclipsrs who review movies. Stay strong!
That is a struggle with these companies, there’s little to any support and people you speak with.
well its hard when there are hundreds of thousands of channels with more than 100k subscribers, if each one has a small problem, it will take time for it to be fixed
@@oliver-04 this is not about fixing small issues, this is huge flaw in the system, with no creators, youtube will go down. one would expect that they take better care of the hand that feeds them.
@@broncobalboa yeah but how can they take care of all the creators
@@oliver-04 for example they could switch their system up, so the studios can not randomly claim videos with little to nothing to do for the creator. if the system would be like the studio can make a complaint, and then somebody will check. Cause the current way is free reign for the studios to claim, block and strike whatever they want. the creators get served their punishment, without any kind of evidenc of wrongdoing, how is such a system active in the first place?
@@broncobalboa well thats the thing "then somebody will check"
there are thousands of videos using copyrighted songs, it would be impossible for a group of people to check all those videos
Sorry to hear this news. We will be here regardless of the outcome!😊
I thought you were getting burntout or something, haven't watched your videos a lot lately but mainly because you're not watching something I'm interested in, but you are one of my favorite reactors, I really hope things get right and you are back on track, I've been subscribed since you had like 20k or less I think, good luck man.
Never ever count on RUclips to be reliable. One day they might decide all reaction videos are now demonetized. It has happened with other categories of videos. You should expect them to pull the rug out from underneath you at any moment because that is exactly what they will do.
sounds like they suck and can't be trusted to do anything other than be unfair, inconsistent, and suck, not to mention have no recourse and no due process and no nothing, like a dictatorship.
They don't need to monetise them, they make their money on Patreon. They're just being greedy monetising them.
Such a shame RUclips doesn’t stick up for their creators. You’ll get through this Brandon, we aren’t going anywhere!
The creator is the person that made the film Brandon is reacting to. They are protecting the creator. Brandon isn't a creator. He's just making money off someone else's hard work. Brandon simply doesn't do enough commentary/critique to make it safe. For the most part... we are just watching the movie along with him (albeit a clipped version). To see how the fair use of intellectual property is supposed to be utilized, watch an episode of 'Siskel and Ebert'. They will show 30 seconds total and then talk about the movie for 5 minutes. That's how its supposed to be used.
@@nickbeef2850 actually 10 minutes is allowed under dmca Brandon has always abided by that and his videos still get taken down which isn’t fair when his uploads are completely legal
"Creators" lmao. They aren't creating anything.
This is horrible! I really hope this gets sorted out for you, and I'll be here whenever you upload. You are most definitely one of my favorite channels, and I wish you all the best.
Ive re watched the entire its always sunny in Philadelphia series through your channel. Im here for whatever content you upload next.
Do you not have real life friends?
You may have already done so, but maybe reaching out to other reactors for advice might be a good idea. Leo from Mr Video was having a very difficult time with his videos a few months ago. He got to the point of mixing in music reactions into the movie videos for a month or so just to get them to pass. However he seems to have passed through the storm and seems to be posting normally again. So maybe he learned something helpful or maybe he just got lucky and the scrutiny let up eventually.
Good luck man, I hope you don’t have to quit, but with your current situation seeming so sisyphean I can definitely understand your frustration.
Well- that and him getting out of jail recently after a month for smoking weed behind the wheel, which was total bullcrap! A month for some weed? Stupid!
Dang Brandon, you? Of all the reactors they could pick on. They are picking on my boy. I hope things are cleared up and you are back soon.
I hope you continue to keep on making content in spite of all the bs YT and studios keep inflicting upon your channel. Will continue to support you here and Patreon you're one of the all time great channels my friend!
Dang, sorry to hear that. Ive seen this recently happen to several youtubers, wonder what the deal is
Reaction or not I'ma be here regardless
You're my favorite reaction channel when it comes to movies. I hate that you are being targeted like this. Hopefully things get worked out soon.
Brandon: “It’s reacting time!”
RUclips: “I took that personally”
No way omg. I hope nothing happens you are my favorite youtuber and help me relax at the end of the day and bring me laughs. Ily man keep it up let's hope all goes well
Brandon, hit me if you need me brotha! We are all in support for you my man!
Appreciate you James!!
