It's great to be back. 😁 The support over the last few weeks has been incredible, and I just wanna say a massive thank you again to everyone who helped in any way! This video should explain exactly what happened to my channel, and where things are up to now. But for those who just want the short version: Alex hasn’t dropped the strikes, but MagnatesMedia is NOT getting deleted! 🥳 To Alex Edson (I know you’ll be watching this & filing a false privacy claim like you did to all the other creators)... I have deliberately NOT shared some of the more serious allegations against you that people have privately sent me, as I now consider this matter over. Assuming you don’t attack me or any other creators again, then I’ll go back to making my normal videos, you can go back to filing patents, and we can hopefully all move on with our lives. Obviously if Alex does try to come after me or anyone else, then there is A LOT more to show you all. I also now have comprehensive media insurance in place & 100’s of you have messaged about a gofundme for a countersuit - so if Alex does escalate things, we should be able to get some important case law in place to protect creators. However I imagine Alex is unlikely to wanna draw even more attention to his past activities, so hopefully this is now the end of it, and this will be the last time I ever need to mention the name Alex Edson. Thank you again to everyone for the help and support - you’re all legends! I’m looking forward to getting back to normal videos again now… 😁
So sorry that your awesome channel was threatened to be deleted, but sooo glad you're back! Your channel is so awesome and I've learned a lot from you. The other side could NEVER stop your greatness. I hope your channel continues to grow and you keep sharing your knowledge with us. We're not going anywhere, MagMed, and neither are you! ❤🎉
Happy to hear you are filing suit for false DMCA against him. That was something that kept popping into my head the whole time this drama had been going on, that if you file a false DMCA you are responsible for loss of income and can be sued over it.
RUclips will never fix the issue because they don't care. The only care about money, and how much they make. Unless something is directly cutting into their profits, they couldn't give less of a damn.
@Zeal not only won't they likely can't. RUclips is following dcma and probably can't do something to prevent this behavior without violating dcma. Maybe on the backend like if some jerk acts like business casual they can be punished but they can't stop the front end of copyright strike abuse
Glad this got resolved. I can't stand people abusing the copyright system like this. Especially against people who clearly have put a lot of work into building their channel.

Nothing about this is permanent you have to live everyday like they can delete ur channel at any time because they can & will! You have no idea how many channels way bigger than this one have been deleted & never seen again over the years! Never make this a full time commitment & always have a backup plan
@@2stroketyson79 you can say that but some people get really big on RUclips and decide to make it they're living so it shouldn't be able to be taken away easily especially since they make money for RUclips.
I'm going through something similar with londonrealtv. For some reason Brian Rose the host of London real is claiming my videos as his own. When it's very clear that he is not the owner of the videos or any of the clips. I am not sure what to do right now and and disputing these claims. Hoping this video sheds some light on my situation. Thanks for making it 🙏❤️
The fact that he wanted to take you down over images he gained from public domain himself is borderline insane. I bet he didn’t see this video and all the backlash coming 😂🙌 well done!
We can't thank "Upper Echelon" and everyone who worked along side him enough for saving Magnates Media from getting removed by RUclips. I myself have just just recently subscribed to this channel after finding out about it from UE. Needless to say, the videos of this channel are great for people who are into business, corporate and finance related stuff.
I had an incident with a channel where they had shown a document I created and shared privately. They used it during a video, falsified the reasoning of my watermark, and discredited me completely. I filed a strike when they chose not to publicly apologize and a credit me as the source. The channel responded with a counter which meant now I had to sue or else YT would unblock the video. I came to the same realization you expressed in this video that it's too costly. My point being, it cuts both ways. Glad you're back making these epic documentaries.
@@waza3350 Alex owned nothing of what he made lol. He was using images which were not taken by him and it was proved that the edits were personally made.
Glad to see a positive outcome. I'm hoping the laws here in the US can be reformed soon to prevent this kind of copyright trolling, and patent trolling which Alex also seems to be involved in. Once that happens, RUclips should be able to re-tool their system to prevent this kind of thing entirely.
I just found u through recommendations yesterday and I really enjoyed your videos. I read some comments who were mentioning your channel was about to get deleted or something like that. I didn't know the reason and I also didn't try to research about it but RUclips recommended me this video today. Haha RUclips recommendations are sure very helpful sometimes. Didn't even know know you've made a video on it. Good to see that the issue is solved.
Upper Echelon and Charlie were the reasons I found out. This guy needs to be stopped and investigated. Glad you pulled through and it was really amazing to see the community come together for this.
Welcome back, I'm happy Magnates Media is back and thank you for standing up to Alex. I Nearly cried when I learned that that the channel was going to be terminated. We love your work 🇿🇦
No matter if your channel get deleted or not we come with you , there are a handful of people that can tell a story like you and keep you engaged , most of them retired
I know it's a year in the past. But I am so sorry that you had to go through all this. This guy Edison whatever his name is. That almost got you deleted. Something needs to be done about him. I mean really needs to be done about him. There are people on this planet that would gladly help you and I'm very thankful that they would. I appreciate you sharing this. You are not the only one going through this kind of stuff. Again, I apologize that you had to go through this. Lots of love, Minnesota.
Sadly thats the law. RUclips has to follow rules like DMCA and sadly those said laws demans that the platforms take the word of the accusor first. Its mot a solo issue to copyright. Same exact problem can be found in many places like sex assault claims in colleges always take the girl's word as scripture and ignoring anything the guy has to offer in defense.
@@verios44 Surely there should be a state of limbo instead of 7 days until termination? I refuse to believe that that´s part of DMCA guidelines. My guess is as always that youtube shortcuts the ordeal cause they always do. I've seen some guys left off the hook for actual crimes put on video on this platform, whilst actual good guys are terminated. Damnit this platform is fucking awful.
Welcome back, Magnates Media! It's fantastic to see you triumph over the challenges you faced with copyright strikes. Your dedication and resilience have truly shone through, and your return to the RUclips community is something to celebrate. We're thrilled that your channel won't be deleted, even though the strikes haven't been dropped yet. Your loyal viewers and supporters are here to stand by you, appreciating the content you create. Keep inspiring us with your creativity, passion, and unwavering spirit. We're excited to see what incredible videos you have in store for us. Welcome back, Magnates Media, and here's to many more successful adventures on your channel!
I just barely discovered your channel a few days ago and I've shamelessly been binge-watching. I'm SO glad Alex wasn't able to destroy your channel. He sounds like an awful narcissist who is shamelessly using schemes and semi-legal cons to get rich with no real work involved. I'm really glad you fought smart and I hope you can stick in there!!
It's been a few months so I don't remember especially since I binge watched them. I loved the one about Coke and Uber. Dominoes definitely wasn't the first but it was very very interesting. Idk if I could even pick a favorite. I liked hearing about Pepsi too as well as burger King. It made me re-evaluate those products and companies too
This kind of behaviour is just unacceptable and unforgivable. Alex should be getting punished, and given his past, all his copyright claims should be checked by RUclips. You have gained a new subscriber my friend.
Glad everything worked out for you John! As a small creator, it's scary to see how bigger channels can bully by utilizing the copyright system unfairly.
Glad to see that your channel is back, John! RUclips says that abusing the copyright system or abusing privacy complaints can get your channel banned. I wonder if RUclips is serious about that and how much longer Business Casual will be around?
Yea, the rule should be that RUclips manually verifies the strikes. It’s not that hard for them to just throw a couple of people at manually reviewing them before deleting someone’s channel
@@TheCompyshop on average, youtube has 3.7 million uploads a day. “A few people” isn’t going to remotely cut it for what you are saying, and that’s not even counting other languages
@@zach237 That’s not what I said. I’m talking about specifically the channels that get hit with 2-3 strikes back to back should be manually reviewed. That’s a way more manageable workload than reviewing literally everything
@@TheCompyshopthere’s issues with them verifying strikes, though. I received a “cyber bullying and harassment” strike on a channel of mine that had to do with reviewing music - in other words that strike made zero sense for the content I’m making. I had RUclips review this strike all the way up to management and they replied repeatedly with the same robotic response that the strike was correct. I asked how I violated the rule in detail and they declined to specify because that would allow people to “get around the policy rules” - an absurd reply because it would help people FOLLOW policy. In short, the RUclips system is HIGHLY broken including their staff
Big win for everyone in the RUclips community - malicious actors abusing the legal system cannot be tolerated!! So glad to see this turn out well for you Magnates!
I'm so glad you're back. The stress crap like this puts you under in unimaginable. Your videos are amazing and riveting. I'm so happy you went public and shared your ordeal, and got the support. More success to you, John. And thank you for bringing us awesome content.
As a budding content creator, watching what Alex put you through was scary. What was amazing to watch on both Twitter and RUclips was everyone rallying around you!. Excellent video! Purrr-fect!!! Glad to have you back! 😺
I swear, do you guys get paid to shill religion? all over tiktok and RUclips. Lately, every single comment and even comment replies have this same garbage. I hope RUclips makes a religion filter to explicitly block this bot spam
youre my favorite channel to cover this sort of topic. you seem to be the most passionate out of anyone else, no wonder bc went for you. you didnt deserve any of this. im glad everything worked out in the end.
i just recently started watching you and literally couldn’t stop. i watched almost all of your videos in the span of about a month, your videos gives me a sense of purpose and passion to put forth into my own life with the amount of effort you put in. Thank you MAGNATESMEDIA for always keeping it real!
Im usually not into this kind of cintent, but the way you tell the stories and your editors skill at using effects made me love this channel. I'm so happy you're not being deleted.
I am so glad that you fought back. I have recently discovered your channel. I had never heard of Alex's channel. What he did was horrible and I'm glad that it worked out in your favor.
I'm so sorry this happened to you John. But very pleased to hear the seemingly good news! As a relatively new creator, it's been scary to see there are guys like Alex out there with the sad but scary inclination to take it all away at a moment's notice. Watching you fight back and receive such a huge degree of community backing has been an inspiration. Hopefully, measures will be put in place now to prevent people like Alex from destroying livelihoods so easily in the future, and make youtube a safer community for creators. Looking forward to the return of regular videos!
The content that you have been creating is something that I have never seen anywhere else in the internet, let alone anywhere else in youtube. You compile large texts of plain old boring history into interesting videos. The work that you have been doing is truly amazing. You make history interesting. The internet only tends to show all the good about the world; stories about succesful companies, and if anything else about companies, then only the good, not the bad. But you, are different my friend. You are not like all the other ones. You equally show about failed companies, failed people, bad hidden stories of companies as much as the good. You are one of the very few people who, instead on focusing on gathering attention of the RUclips algorithm, rather focus on fulfilling your goal of conveying complete information. I truly appreciate the work that you do and will always support you as much as I can. A few weeks ago when I got to know that your channel was gonna get deleted, I was truly shocked. Thank God that did not happen. May god bless you.
Yeah that was definitely clutch! Glad to see that there are still decent people in the world who will stand up and put themselves in the line of fire to do what's right. Some of the RUclipsrs who did videos were just hilarious
Wow, I'm so glad to see Magnates media back in action after that unfair copyright strike! Your content is always top-notch, and it's a relief to have you back on RUclips where you belong. Your dedication and resilience are truly inspiring. Welcome back, Magnates media! 💪🎉
Yesterday I was made aware of this controversy/situation forced upon you, so seeing this video pop up today is a bit of a relief. I still want to see some sort of retribution carried out upon this literal copyright grifter, but at least you're not in danger of disappearing forever. Keep up the good work!
I am so happy that you can post videos again. And you truly are a kind and noble person for turning the other cheek. What I mean by that is that after what Alex Edson has done to you, for you to say that all you want is to just post videos again shows that you carry no intention for vengence or retailation against him, which again, is noble of you. After this dark moment, i think a gold play button moment will be the best to celebrate Magnates Media, so if you are reading this and you are not subscribed, do so now so we hit that 1M ❤
I started watching your business documentaries in late 2022 and was immediately hooked. Your editing and storytelling skills are amazing. I initially didn't get to see the carnegie video before Alex took it down and was confused as to why you hadn't uploaded in a while. I scrolled down on YT search and seen upper echelons first video on the situation. I was actually really scared. Your content is amazing and your my favourite producer of business mini movies and documentaries. I really didnt want your channel to go. To say I'm so happy the channel is back up now is an understatement. A huge congratulations to you for pulling through this and I hope Alex learns his lesson.
I'm so glad you sorted this out. The fact that this can happen is dangerous. My first reaction is great anger & wanting to get revenge against Alex Edson. Then I realise it goes far deeper than this & there is obviously other stuff going down in Alex's head, that we don't know about. Going further into your Video, its clear Alex has got a mental health problem. I hope for his sake & the Community he gets help.
Literally found your channel because of the drama. Binged a few videos and loved them! The drama did the opposite and brought more people to your channel and it also shows because you have top notch editors and script! Keep going with your content!!!
The fact that RUclips don't have any kind of defense against malicious strikes is baffeling. I hope people will round up a countersuit agains Edson to permanently take him down from the internet.
I am very happy that you were able to save your channel. I can see a lot of hard work goes into your videos. I wish the community would come to everyone's rescue how got treated unfairly by Google. I got banned from Adwords 13 years ago for doing something wrong that I still don't know what. I have asked Google to review it several times or at least tell me what I have done wrong and all they ever do is come back to say I am banned for life for violating their policies. They never allow me to escalate it, they never tell me what policy I breached and they treat me like a criminal. Only thing is that even murders go free after a while. With Google though, the convict you for life even if you don't know what you did wrong. A murder can appeal their sentence. Google sentences you once and for all. You can consider yourself very lucky, because once Google comes form you, it is over forever. I am being treated worse than a murderer by Google
It’s great to see a post from Magnates again! Very happy to see this “copyright issue” resolved. Hopefully the community coming together will end up being a bigger benefit to your channel than the losses you took from being unable to post.
Good God you're back. I recently saw another creator's video about the situation but then came running to your channel to check, because i remembered your tencent video but wasn't subscribed. I know business casual tho, from the faulty and vexatious video that russia ran youtube. As a victim who lost big channela in copyright strike, i understood the situation. You got a new subscriber. Keep going😊
So glad that you got through this, John! I hope RUclips implements sanctions against creators who raise false flags. It'd be nice to see Alex the bully sent home crying.
Your bravery and perseverance in all of this has been impressive. You've earned subs from people like me who never even heard of you before. People who try to make life better for the rest of us on RUclips are definitely heroes of a sort. There will always be delusional fools who are impressed by bullies, but most of us, I'm sure, aren't. Rock on.
A competitor of my sister's business filed a complaint with FB that she wasn't who she claimed to be and screwed her business over the holiday period. Bad actors use the system for their malicious ends
Im so glad you got everything resolved John. Big fan of your channel. Your videos are very well done and are quite frankly better than that other guy. Little did Alex Edson know that he just became your newest business documentary subject! Probably one of your best yet! Looking forward to seeing more of your well produced videos! And a huge shout out to your editors, those individuals are truly masters of their craft.
Any works that have been published pre-1923 in the US are well and truly entered into the public domain. That is at least if they are not renewed after 75 years. This man’s case could not be any more null and void! How greedy, illogical and morally bankrupt! It is so good to hear you are still up and running. I really love your content. Keep it up! 😊
I'm glad you're able to upload again. I know I didn't comment before now, but I remember when you first made that post, I thought to myself, "I think Ludwig should make a video on this". I am the Community Manager for multiple creators, and I couldn't imagine somebody coming along and threatening everything we've spent years making. I hope everything goes well moving forward.
So great your channel was not closed down. We would have lost a great and entertaining source of business information but for yourself it would have been years of hard work down the drain. Please keep doing what you have been doing and do not let this episode distract you from constantly growing this amazing channel.
Welcome back bud! You can also consider starting a patreon. We will never let anything bad happen to your channel. You are a very genuine hardworking person and we your audience will stick with through thick and thin.
I feel you. I know someone who’s close to me and had to deal with same thing. This is getting out hand. Glad you exposed this outrageous behaviour. RUclips needs to do something about this. It’s affecting many creators and killing creativity. 🤯🤬
Glad to see you back! The bit about federal courts not taking the case lightly cracked me up. Like they want to have their time wasted with a shitty 'Can you find the differences in these different pictures that neither party owns?' type of case.
I have been subscribed to this channel for many months, and you're my favourite content creator out there. When you first posted that community post, I was devastated. Glad to see you're back!
I AM SOOOOOO THANKFUL!!! So glad you stood up and didn’t back down so glad for everyone rallying together!! I absolutely LOVE your work and was so upset when all this started!! So glad things are resolving!! And may even more good come out of this situation for everyone that was effected!!
Good to have you back. Just like all other business stories you have covered there were ups and downs. I am glad you successfully navigated this lows in your own story. Way up!
I've been a fan of your channel for a long time now and I'm happy you're not getting banned glad to see you back John ! (Happy to see what you have in store...)
Now that you are back, do keep updating about this guy of what he does and what he is trying to pull against other creators. This way he stays in the relevancy and hopefully more people will be aware of him. Love the content !
Really glad to see your channel come out on top! I can't even begin to imagine how stressful and painful this whole ordeal must have been. I don't think I've commented on here before but your videos are always an instant click for me, the story telling and editing is just bloody masterful and I'm genuinely thrilled that's not going away :D
Ayy you're back. Honestly keep up the work man, also make an archival channel somewhere else so that if this ever happened again and it succeed, at least there is somewhere we know we can have this content.
Watching this just made me cry tears of joy. Like, this seems like it could be straight from a movie, and the fact that it isn't AND the good guy won, wow! I'm happy for you. I love this channel so much and it's teaching me a lot about business. All the best! I'm supporting all the way from South Africa.
As a business student i can bet there are only handful of channels like you who makes such in dept videos on youtube with literally hours of content in one video❤
It's great to be back. 😁 The support over the last few weeks has been incredible, and I just wanna say a massive thank you again to everyone who helped in any way!
This video should explain exactly what happened to my channel, and where things are up to now. But for those who just want the short version: Alex hasn’t dropped the strikes, but MagnatesMedia is NOT getting deleted! 🥳

I have deliberately NOT shared some of the more serious allegations against you that people have privately sent me, as I now consider this matter over. Assuming you don’t attack me or any other creators again, then I’ll go back to making my normal videos, you can go back to filing patents, and we can hopefully all move on with our lives.
Obviously if Alex does try to come after me or anyone else, then there is A LOT more to show you all. I also now have comprehensive media insurance in place & 100’s of you have messaged about a gofundme for a countersuit - so if Alex does escalate things, we should be able to get some important case law in place to protect creators.
However I imagine Alex is unlikely to wanna draw even more attention to his past activities, so hopefully this is now the end of it, and this will be the last time I ever need to mention the name Alex Edson.
Thank you again to everyone for the help and support - you’re all legends! I’m looking forward to getting back to normal videos again now… 😁

Even Patrick cc watches this amazing 😂 indeed the RUclips community is amazing
RUclips keeps enabling this by not fixing this false copyright mess and just allowing ppl to continue to do it.
I wish some creators could anonymously come together to actually put out the real story on Alex, mailtag, and the unpaid stripper drama haha.
RUclipss abominable copyright claim & strike system makes a complete mockery of fair use.

My point being, it cuts both ways. Glad you're back making these epic documentaries.
Glad of what ? This guy is doing the same as what the channel you striked did....
@@waza3350 Alex owned nothing of what he made lol. He was using images which were not taken by him and it was proved that the edits were personally made.
Very happy to see you back :)

hi seedtech
Glad to see a positive outcome. I'm hoping the laws here in the US can be reformed soon to prevent this kind of copyright trolling, and patent trolling which Alex also seems to be involved in. Once that happens, RUclips should be able to re-tool their system to prevent this kind of thing entirely.
So cool to see your support here man

I just found u through recommendations yesterday and I really enjoyed your videos. I read some comments who were mentioning your channel was about to get deleted or something like that. I didn't know the reason and I also didn't try to research about it but RUclips recommended me this video today. Haha RUclips recommendations are sure very helpful sometimes. Didn't even know know you've made a video on it. Good to see that the issue is solved.
Upper Echelon and Charlie were the reasons I found out. This guy needs to be stopped and investigated. Glad you pulled through and it was really amazing to see the community come together for this.
His channel should be banned for abusing the copyright system.
plenty of more, but each to their own ways
glad to have you back! hopefully this is the end of it
Welcome back, I'm happy Magnates Media is back and thank you for standing up to Alex. I Nearly cried when I learned that that the channel was going to be terminated. We love your work 🇿🇦
To say I’m relieved your channel isn’t getting deleted would be a HUGE understatement.
No matter if your channel get deleted or not we come with you , there are a handful of people that can tell a story like you and keep you engaged , most of them retired
I know it's a year in the past. But I am so sorry that you had to go through all this. This guy Edison whatever his name is. That almost got you deleted. Something needs to be done about him. I mean really needs to be done about him. There are people on this planet that would gladly help you and I'm very thankful that they would. I appreciate you sharing this. You are not the only one going through this kind of stuff. Again, I apologize that you had to go through this. Lots of love, Minnesota.
The idea that they just take their word for it is what’s most fucked up.
It was a joy to see Upper echelon tearing into him.
Sadly thats the law. RUclips has to follow rules like DMCA and sadly those said laws demans that the platforms take the word of the accusor first. Its mot a solo issue to copyright. Same exact problem can be found in many places like sex assault claims in colleges always take the girl's word as scripture and ignoring anything the guy has to offer in defense.
@@verios44 Surely there should be a state of limbo instead of 7 days until termination? I refuse to believe that that´s part of DMCA guidelines. My guess is as always that youtube shortcuts the ordeal cause they always do. I've seen some guys left off the hook for actual crimes put on video on this platform, whilst actual good guys are terminated. Damnit this platform is fucking awful.
@@doommarauder3532 yea I think the 7 day thing is a Gogole choice for sure.
Welcome back, Magnates Media! It's fantastic to see you triumph over the challenges you faced with copyright strikes.

Welcome back, Magnates Media, and here's to many more successful adventures on your channel!

I just barely discovered your channel a few days ago and I've shamelessly been binge-watching.
I'm SO glad Alex wasn't able to destroy your channel.
He sounds like an awful narcissist who is shamelessly using schemes and semi-legal cons to get rich with no real work involved.
I'm really glad you fought smart and I hope you can stick in there!!
What was your gateway video? Mine was Domino's
It's been a few months so I don't remember especially since I binge watched them.
I loved the one about Coke and Uber.
Dominoes definitely wasn't the first but it was very very interesting.
Idk if I could even pick a favorite.
I liked hearing about Pepsi too as well as burger King.
It made me re-evaluate those products and companies too
FOR REAL
Here here
This kind of behaviour is just unacceptable and unforgivable. Alex should be getting punished, and given his past, all his copyright claims should be checked by RUclips. You have gained a new subscriber my friend.
@SuperNostalgia. get wrecked
@@barlowike9814who
Glad everything worked out for you John! As a small creator, it's scary to see how bigger channels can bully by utilizing the copyright system unfairly.
Honestly, the company that stuck with him and still sponsored even during all this drama is a huge W
Glad to see that your channel is back, John! RUclips says that abusing the copyright system or abusing privacy complaints can get your channel banned. I wonder if RUclips is serious about that and how much longer Business Casual will be around?
There should be a YT rule against doing 3 strikes at the same time.
Yea, the rule should be that RUclips manually verifies the strikes. It’s not that hard for them to just throw a couple of people at manually reviewing them before deleting someone’s channel
I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for beating me to the punch.
@@TheCompyshop on average, youtube has 3.7 million uploads a day. “A few people” isn’t going to remotely cut it for what you are saying, and that’s not even counting other languages
@@zach237 That’s not what I said. I’m talking about specifically the channels that get hit with 2-3 strikes back to back should be manually reviewed. That’s a way more manageable workload than reviewing literally everything
@@TheCompyshopthere’s issues with them verifying strikes, though. I received a “cyber bullying and harassment” strike on a channel of mine that had to do with reviewing music - in other words that strike made zero sense for the content I’m making. I had RUclips review this strike all the way up to management and they replied repeatedly with the same robotic response that the strike was correct. I asked how I violated the rule in detail and they declined to specify because that would allow people to “get around the policy rules” - an absurd reply because it would help people FOLLOW policy. In short, the RUclips system is HIGHLY broken including their staff
You were missed!!! So glad to have you back. 🤞everything works out moving forward!! ❤
This Situation is Really F***ed up Hope you can get out of this situation and keep making the videos you make
Big win for everyone in the RUclips community - malicious actors abusing the legal system cannot be tolerated!! So glad to see this turn out well for you Magnates!
I'm so glad you're back. The stress crap like this puts you under in unimaginable. Your videos are amazing and riveting.
I'm so happy you went public and shared your ordeal, and got the support. More success to you, John. And thank you for bringing us awesome content.
As a budding content creator, watching what Alex put you through was scary. What was amazing to watch on both Twitter and RUclips was everyone rallying around you!. Excellent video! Purrr-fect!!! Glad to have you back! 😺
god is good im happy that you are back and creating videos again. we are all with you
I swear, do you guys get paid to shill religion? all over tiktok and RUclips. Lately, every single comment and even comment replies have this same garbage. I hope RUclips makes a religion filter to explicitly block this bot spam
God is good. hi! 🤓🤓
@@imgonnacream Please don't bring religion into this.
@@NicoTheCinderace God is Goooodd
God is good all the time. All the time God is good amene
This is insane, I couldn’t imagine going through something like this, I’m glad you’re still here, I’m really enjoying your channel!
So happy to see you back man. You're one of my biggest inspirations for my channel and we all can't wait to see you crush it!
youre my favorite channel to cover this sort of topic. you seem to be the most passionate out of anyone else, no wonder bc went for you. you didnt deserve any of this. im glad everything worked out in the end.
i just recently started watching you and literally couldn’t stop. i watched almost all of your videos in the span of about a month, your videos gives me a sense of purpose and passion to put forth into my own life with the amount of effort you put in. Thank you MAGNATESMEDIA for always keeping it real!
Im usually not into this kind of cintent, but the way you tell the stories and your editors skill at using effects made me love this channel. I'm so happy you're not being deleted.
I am so glad that you fought back. I have recently discovered your channel. I had never heard of Alex's channel. What he did was horrible and I'm glad that it worked out in your favor.
I'm so glad you're back! We are all behind you 100%! It was a learning experience for everyone!!❤❤😊
But NOT for Alex.....
I'm so sorry this happened to you John. But very pleased to hear the seemingly good news!
As a relatively new creator, it's been scary to see there are guys like Alex out there with the sad but scary inclination to take it all away at a moment's notice. Watching you fight back and receive such a huge degree of community backing has been an inspiration. Hopefully, measures will be put in place now to prevent people like Alex from destroying livelihoods so easily in the future, and make youtube a safer community for creators.
Looking forward to the return of regular videos!
So happy to see you back
Hey comrade 🙋
@@manojkumarm4523 hey man
The content that you have been creating is something that I have never seen anywhere else in the internet, let alone anywhere else in youtube. You compile large texts of plain old boring history into interesting videos. The work that you have been doing is truly amazing. You make history interesting. The internet only tends to show all the good about the world; stories about succesful companies, and if anything else about companies, then only the good, not the bad.
But you, are different my friend.
You are not like all the other ones.
You equally show about failed companies, failed people, bad hidden stories of companies as much as the good.
You are one of the very few people who, instead on focusing on gathering attention of the RUclips algorithm, rather focus on fulfilling your goal of conveying complete information.
I truly appreciate the work that you do and will always support you as much as I can.
A few weeks ago when I got to know that your channel was gonna get deleted, I was truly shocked.
Thank God that did not happen.
May god bless you.
This isn't just about this specific channel, this is inspirational for all the creators out there. Glad you made it through this.
Congrats man! Great to see all the other RUclipsrs who came together to shed light on the situation
Yeah that was definitely clutch! Glad to see that there are still decent people in the world who will stand up and put themselves in the line of fire to do what's right. Some of the RUclipsrs who did videos were just hilarious
This has been a win for you brother. To see your channel back is so amazing and I am really happy for you.
Keep winning nobody will ever stop you.
Wow, I'm so glad to see Magnates media back in action after that unfair copyright strike! Your content is always top-notch, and it's a relief to have you back on RUclips where you belong. Your dedication and resilience are truly inspiring. Welcome back, Magnates media! 💪🎉
Yesterday I was made aware of this controversy/situation forced upon you, so seeing this video pop up today is a bit of a relief. I still want to see some sort of retribution carried out upon this literal copyright grifter, but at least you're not in danger of disappearing forever. Keep up the good work!
I am so happy that you can post videos again.
And you truly are a kind and noble person for turning the other cheek. What I mean by that is that after what Alex Edson has done to you, for you to say that all you want is to just post videos again shows that you carry no intention for vengence or retailation against him, which again, is noble of you.
After this dark moment, i think a gold play button moment will be the best to celebrate Magnates Media, so if you are reading this and you are not subscribed, do so now so we hit that 1M ❤
I started watching your business documentaries in late 2022 and was immediately hooked. Your editing and storytelling skills are amazing. I initially didn't get to see the carnegie video before Alex took it down and was confused as to why you hadn't uploaded in a while. I scrolled down on YT search and seen upper echelons first video on the situation. I was actually really scared. Your content is amazing and your my favourite producer of business mini movies and documentaries. I really didnt want your channel to go. To say I'm so happy the channel is back up now is an understatement. A huge congratulations to you for pulling through this and I hope Alex learns his lesson.
Negativity will always try to end positive and informative things in our world.. glad to see you back John!
I'm so glad you sorted this out. The fact that this can happen is dangerous. My first reaction is great anger & wanting to get revenge against Alex Edson. Then I realise it goes far deeper than this & there is obviously other stuff going down in Alex's head, that we don't know about.
Going further into your Video, its clear Alex has got a mental health problem. I hope for his sake & the Community he gets help.
Literally found your channel because of the drama. Binged a few videos and loved them! The drama did the opposite and brought more people to your channel and it also shows because you have top notch editors and script! Keep going with your content!!!
How morally bankrupt and evil do you need to be to consistently abuse such an exploitable and fragile system?
@Super Nostalgia May I ask why you are putting your religious propaganda here?
You don't think rich people get rich by behaving honorably, do you? Exploit is the name of the game!
@Super Nostalgia Keep religion out of this.
The same guy that’s claiming to sue youtube
Also guys, the religious weirdo is just someone who got hacked. Ignore them.
@@mallninja9805 very sadly
The fact that RUclips don't have any kind of defense against malicious strikes is baffeling. I hope people will round up a countersuit agains Edson to permanently take him down from the internet.
I'm sad to hear that someone is so spiteful, but it's amazing to see the community come together and help out a fantastic channel
I'm so glad that you can upload again! Let's get to 1M now!
I am very happy that you were able to save your channel. I can see a lot of hard work goes into your videos. I wish the community would come to everyone's rescue how got treated unfairly by Google. I got banned from Adwords 13 years ago for doing something wrong that I still don't know what. I have asked Google to review it several times or at least tell me what I have done wrong and all they ever do is come back to say I am banned for life for violating their policies. They never allow me to escalate it, they never tell me what policy I breached and they treat me like a criminal. Only thing is that even murders go free after a while. With Google though, the convict you for life even if you don't know what you did wrong. A murder can appeal their sentence. Google sentences you once and for all. You can consider yourself very lucky, because once Google comes form you, it is over forever. I am being treated worse than a murderer by Google
It’s great to see a post from Magnates again! Very happy to see this “copyright issue” resolved. Hopefully the community coming together will end up being a bigger benefit to your channel than the losses you took from being unable to post.
What a crazy story. The RUclips community coming together to have each other’s back is a beautiful thing👏
Good God you're back. I recently saw another creator's video about the situation but then came running to your channel to check, because i remembered your tencent video but wasn't subscribed. I know business casual tho, from the faulty and vexatious video that russia ran youtube. As a victim who lost big channela in copyright strike, i understood the situation. You got a new subscriber. Keep going😊
So glad that you got through this, John!
I hope RUclips implements sanctions against creators who raise false flags.
It'd be nice to see Alex the bully sent home crying.
Your bravery and perseverance in all of this has been impressive. You've earned subs from people like me who never even heard of you before. People who try to make life better for the rest of us on RUclips are definitely heroes of a sort. There will always be delusional fools who are impressed by bullies, but most of us, I'm sure, aren't. Rock on.
"Living well is the best revenge." I certainly hope your channel can continue to live the best life it possibly can.
A competitor of my sister's business filed a complaint with FB that she wasn't who she claimed to be and screwed her business over the holiday period. Bad actors use the system for their malicious ends
Im so glad you got everything resolved John. Big fan of your channel. Your videos are very well done and are quite frankly better than that other guy. Little did Alex Edson know that he just became your newest business documentary subject! Probably one of your best yet! Looking forward to seeing more of your well produced videos! And a huge shout out to your editors, those individuals are truly masters of their craft.
i can't understand why Alex is not in jail. like fr now, this shit is crazy...
This is all that was on my mind as I watched the video. Alex should be locked up.
The reason why we all joined you is because you are a great creator. Your content is factual and unbiased. Long Live MagnatesMedia!
Any works that have been published pre-1923 in the US are well and truly entered into the public domain. That is at least if they are not renewed after 75 years. This man’s case could not be any more null and void! How greedy, illogical and morally bankrupt!
It is so good to hear you are still up and running. I really love your content. Keep it up! 😊
I'm glad you're able to upload again. I know I didn't comment before now, but I remember when you first made that post, I thought to myself, "I think Ludwig should make a video on this". I am the Community Manager for multiple creators, and I couldn't imagine somebody coming along and threatening everything we've spent years making. I hope everything goes well moving forward.
I'm so happy to have you guys back...
Why are some people just cold hearted 😢
Welcome back magnates media
So glad you managed to keep this channel, never give up
Wow so glad you made it bro without any issues, i love your channel 🙌
So great your channel was not closed down.
We would have lost a great and entertaining source of business information but for yourself it would have been years of hard work down the drain.
Please keep doing what you have been doing and do not let this episode distract you from constantly growing this amazing channel.
Welcome back bud! You can also consider starting a patreon. We will never let anything bad happen to your channel. You are a very genuine hardworking person and we your audience will stick with through thick and thin.
I feel you.
I know someone who’s close to me and had to deal with same thing.
This is getting out hand. Glad you exposed this outrageous behaviour.
RUclips needs to do something about this.
It’s affecting many creators and killing creativity. 🤯🤬
An apology even if done out of pure manners is actually an admittance of guilt
100% not legally true at all. Bring that to court and watch how far that get you lmaooo I would prayyyyyyyy thats your "evidence"
Glad to see you back!
The bit about federal courts not taking the case lightly cracked me up. Like they want to have their time wasted with a shitty 'Can you find the differences in these different pictures that neither party owns?' type of case.
I’m really glad you survived and I hope your channel is doing well. You do an amazing job and I LOVE your videos. Thank you for posting
I have been subscribed to this channel for many months, and you're my favourite content creator out there. When you first posted that community post, I was devastated. Glad to see you're back!
Thank god this channel did not get taken down. This channel is a literal gem.
I am really sorry, we will always support you and other toutubers who make amazing content like yours that inspire us to build on our dreams
I AM SOOOOOO THANKFUL!!!
So glad you stood up and didn’t back down so glad for everyone rallying together!!
I absolutely LOVE your work and was so upset when all this started!! So glad things are resolving!! And may even more good come out of this situation for everyone that was effected!!
Good to have you back. Just like all other business stories you have covered there were ups and downs. I am glad you successfully navigated this lows in your own story. Way up!
I want to thank you from my heart, for making one of the finest videos.
Your edits, your voice,the narration etc is so real...keep goin John
I've been a fan of your channel for a long time now and I'm happy you're not getting banned glad to see you back John !
(Happy to see what you have in store...)
Now that you are back, do keep updating about this guy of what he does and what he is trying to pull against other creators. This way he stays in the relevancy and hopefully more people will be aware of him. Love the content !
I'm in tears that you are able to get out of this kind of situation. Keep doing what you do. I will support you to the very end.
Really glad to see your channel come out on top! I can't even begin to imagine how stressful and painful this whole ordeal must have been. I don't think I've commented on here before but your videos are always an instant click for me, the story telling and editing is just bloody masterful and I'm genuinely thrilled that's not going away :D
Ayy you're back. Honestly keep up the work man, also make an archival channel somewhere else so that if this ever happened again and it succeed, at least there is somewhere we know we can have this content.
Watching this just made me cry tears of joy. Like, this seems like it could be straight from a movie, and the fact that it isn't AND the good guy won, wow! I'm happy for you. I love this channel so much and it's teaching me a lot about business. All the best! I'm supporting all the way from South Africa.
As a business student i can bet there are only handful of channels like you who makes such in dept videos on youtube with literally hours of content in one video❤
