I was just told about this…I know how this can be & I know how you feel, im gonna see if there’s anything on my end I can do. Keep your head up man!

Seriously, try and get in touch with Fantano and Todd. They might have some contacts that would be able to help you. It is worth reaching out if nothing else.

Clicked on this thinking it was a bad album. Damn man.

Keep your head up king. You've brought me a lot of joy in past couple of difficult weeks.

So, quick actions to take from now on: - Patreon - Stream on Twitch - Highlights/reviews on KZfaq with minimal music content - Backup channel ASAP Stay calm, man! We ain't going anywhere, and you know we will support you even if KZfaq keeps fucking everything up.

KZfaq's copyright system has been broken for almost a decade. It's no longer "this new thing they implemented is fucking me over", it's "the literal fabric of this website has been fucking me over". I'm sorry man

I had a rough month a few months ago, and watching your videos really helped me out. I hope my donation helps you in some way. Good luck brad, genuinely.

Man, I don't know what I was expecting when I clicked on this video, but it definitely wasn't this. Brad, I'm really sorry this is happening to you. Like many others have said, I'm sure other music critics on the platform (some of whom you've collaborated with) would be able to offer some advice on where to go from here. And like many others have also said, I'm sure a bunch of us would be more than willing to subscribe to a Patreon if you made one. Keep your head up, mate. I hope it all works out.

seeing Brad get emotional like this damn near broke my heart, this is so unfair

seeing brad cry is like seeing your dad cry this hits hard

I stand with Brad

Wild how there are actually bad KZfaq channels that promote bigotry and yet more is senselessly strictly enforced on silly music critics.

KZfaq FIX YOUR FUCKING WEBSITE

I know it’s not much but don’t give up hope Brad, reach out to Fantano, Todd, Hivemind maybe even Quadeca have contacts and connections to help you beat this. this is heartbreaking to see how youtube continues to let good people and good creators that are passionate about their content get abused by false copyright claims and channel strikes, while supporting those who dox, fuel toxicity and advertise harmful content towards children. you have created such an amazing community that’s supportive of each other and can be involved in your content like no other and i really hope others see how special that is. you’re a one of a kind creator and i really hope from the bottom of my heart that you and Tina make it through this and continue making amazing content that grows such a caring community💜

KZfaq when animal torture 😃 KZfaq when music review 😡

You've got this dude, take a second for you, recoup, then start pulling at people. Talk to Anton Fantuan, talk to Todd. The absolute worst case, you have a community that will follow you to another platform. Your feelings are valid, and this is terrifying but there are outs.

End a persons livelihood and source of income for some $300 ad revenue. These companies are scumbags.

I believe in you Brad

CONGRATS U WON

UK fan here Brad, your content always brings a smile to my face and gotten me through some difficult moments when im feeling down. Keep your head up man, the journey does not end here no matter what we'll be with you along the way.

really hope everything gets sorted man, this is absolutely terrible

seeing brad cry fucking hurts, i really hope everything works out youtube really needs to fix this

Brad saying “ I don’t know what to do” crushed my soul this suck

That was 100% fair use. If you continue to fight this you should be able to work things out. Best of luck Brad, we’re rooting for you

I know it’s not much but It’s all we as a community can do. I hope this situation gets sorted, it’s got to be terrifying having your lively hood at risk when you are supporting a household. Please don’t stop making content, you’ve given me a lot of laughs and made me listen to music I never would have listened to if I hadn’t discovered your channel. We love you Brad

KZfaq is morally corrupt. I really hope you can make it from this brad. We’ll support you whatever decision you make ❤️ Wish you the best.

Brad, you will get through this. One day you’ll be laughing on the other side of this mess. Theres always a way.

You've got a supportive fan base no matter what happens. I know this is a problem regardless but I hope you don't feel alone or hopeless

If you don't have a patreon or some other source of income already, PLEASE set one up! I'm sure a lot of people would love to financially support you more directly.

if brad cries i cry

I've gotten so much enjoyment from your videos. I wish I could do more but I wanted to show some appreciation for your work. All the best to you Brad. If there is anything we can do let us know.

Love you Bradley ❤ We’ll always be by your side.

Hope you get this figured out. I'm sure Anthony could help you out with this.

As someone who’s dealt with youtube rejecting their automated strikes and penalties for years, it’s genuinely depressing that they to this day don’t have like a better system of addressing flaws in their takedown system for when you’re doing nothing wrong. A temporary solution for now would be to switch to another streaming service for now to ensure you don’t have all your eggs in one basket. That being said I hope youtube team at least resolves this huge flaw in their takedown system.

Been watching your channel for a while, you're one of my favorites! Really hope that there is a way for you to get through and solve this, I'll be there no matter what!

The amount of comments telling Brad to "gEt A ReAl JoB" is bizarre. I thought we all agreed that the boomer narrative of anything that isn't a conventional 9-5 being a fake job was nonesense, but maybe not.

I’m not an expert but I’d suggest maybe getting a second channel going and getting twitch set up just in case.

If you ever need another reason to hate the current, corporate state of the web, this is a big one. The automated enforcement of copyright violations is genuinely corrosive to any and all forms of critique. I am so sorry that you're dealing with this, Brad. I hope this gets fixed swiftly for your sake.

what's with the melanie martinez fans making alts and hating on him 💀

wow i hate melanie martinez even more now idk how that was possible

KZfaq is so unfair it makes me sooo mad. We love you Brad, we'll always be here for you.

this is unfair

hey it's not much but i just wanna help a little while you're fighting this, you'll pull through man

You are such a genuine source of comfort and escapism and have been there for people like me when noone else would be. You will pull through this, as you have through all other hardships in the past. And we WILL be here for you to support, no matter what. Keep your head high, King, and don't let the bastards get you down. We love you, Bradley❤

Love you Brad, we're behind you!

seconding everyone here suggesting 1. talking to your peers about future actions 2. starting a patreon 3. moving to twitch and plenty other great suggestions. those are probably your best bets, but you do have a lot of options if youtube doesn’t drastically alter their horrible copyright policies.

Keep ur head up Brad. We all love you and are rooting for you

I’m sorry about what is going on Brad. I hope things will get a lot better with KZfaq soon, KZfaq needs figure out how to communicate with the creators better because it’s causing a lot more damage when they don’t communicate properly, thank you for all the amazing content and for all of the effort you put into it and making us laugh and making our days a lot more bearable to get through. You deserve better ❤

Really sad to see you go through this man, as someone who's been demonetized, lost thousands of dollars, and been actively suppressed from KZfaq's algorithm numerous times this video hits really hard. A lot of people know that KZfaq's copyright system is bad but a lot of people don't realize JUST HOW BAD it gets. People have to fight long unnecessary battles for their own livelihood over false claims, strikes, reports, etc... and unless you're a MASSIVE channel with direct connections or you manage to somehow make a loud enough complaint about it, it's infinitely harder to sort it out because they almost never actually help. Hope everything gets sorted out though man, you deserve better than this.

sending you all the Love and support brad, Hopefully we can raise enough awareness in due part to push youtube into reviewing this further and taking action! Wishing you best in the meantime, Stay strong man for the Bradke army! :)

this ruined my fucking day bro, watching your videos have brought me so many laughs and genuine close community moments when i needed them most... this is completely fucked dude, this broken policy needs to be fixed.

You are loved by all of us, and this hurts all of us. Stay strong brother. You didn't become you by accident ❤

Godspeed dude. May Justice come for you and everyone else that got/is getting fucked by this horribly flawed system.

Never use Twitch but would watch you over there, may be good to spread out a bit since KZfaq can be unpredictable. Hopefully someone with KZfaq connections can help out! Hope the best for ya Brad!!!

Love your stuff. It’s ridiculous that this still happens.

This is so incredibly unfair and backwards. I’ve never seen Brad cry like this before

I can't even explain how terrible i feel for you you will remain to be one of the most important youtubers to exist for me and you will remain a legend for me aswell i hope everything will become alright since this genuinely made me cry aswell

I was a moderator for a music reviewer/reactor here on KZfaq that went by the name of Sarg Barz similar to what you do, he eventually had to start uploading content on Twitch because of the amount of copyright strikes he was getting on his main channel which prevented him from even uploading content. Mind you this was back in 2019 proving that KZfaqs copyright system has been broken for the longest time and its even gotten worse. It got so bad to the point where even Twitch started to remove his content for simply reviewing/reacting to music. He doesn't upload anymore but I really believe he'd still be making content and making a living off of what he enjoyed doing if it weren't for this broken system.

This is the first time I’ve seen a KZfaqr cry & have people sympathise with them, and the comments here are super cool too I wish I could give you a hug Bradley, you definitely need one

wild how apalling and incompetent the policy enforcement on a website run by one of the biggest companies in the world is, it really fucking hurts to see this happen. we love you brad, seriously hope things can turn around

we love you so much brad, every one of us will support you through this

Ethan Klein is a GREAT contact to resolve this kind of issue. Goodluck Brad, fucked situation, you’ll come out on top.

This is infuriating. I am so sorry that you are in danger of losing your channel. We need to raise Hell about this.

So sorry this is happening to you, man. Seen this happen to so many people on here just trying to make a living. I know you'll get through it, there's no way they can get away with this. I know its not much, but I hope it helps even a little bit. Love your videos, man!

How is it possible that all these other review channels don’t get a strike but somehow yours does? This is completely unfair and unwarranted. This is literally a review channel this is ridiculous. Sorry man, you don’t deserve this. It’s your livelihood and it’s absolutely unfair what they’re doing.

earlier this year my office was cutting down employees like it was nothing. while i was lucky to not be one of the people who got fired. it was such a stressful time for everyone in the company. i hope you find a way to move forward doing what you do man. maybe talk it out with other veterans like fantano or todd that know more about how to go forward with your content. times like these reaching out to others is all you can do

Hoping for the best for you and your channel man

I hope things turn around for you, this must be super stressful :( love this channel so much

This man made the careers of a lot of indie artists through his streams. He’s a pillar of the online music community, and we can’t let that pillar fall.

The Brad who cried wolf, completely thought this was a joke or an album that sucks. I’m so sorry dude, only hope that this gets better.

Melanie Martinez fans in the comments not beating the ‘going to live long, lonely, and miserably’ allegations 😂

Don‘t give up the hope brother ❤

This is more of why I absolutely hate Warner, and KZfaq for going along with their bullshit. Screwing over someone's entire life just because they have the ability to do so. Your content doesn't even hurt their business whatsoever and they still decide to do this. It pisses me off so much.

Brad I hope your situation is resolved. You and melon are my fav music review channels 😢 Sending love from Portugal❤

Praying for your situation mr Brad! Just so you know, your content has seriously inspired me in my music, not just in terms of what you point out in your reviews but also the standards to set for my own music, how to make authentic music without selling out or being fake. I'm genuinely so thankful for the effect you've had on me, and I hope someday to release something that wouldn't just make you proud, but would make me proud. Glad to be a part of this community, too!

This situation is extremely unfair, it's infuriating to see greedy rich people try to crush someone's life for no reason. Obviously this value I'm sending will not by itself help significantly, but I hope in some way it contributes to alleviate this blow or fight back against the injustice. Either way it's a very cheap amount compared to the massive enjoyment I have gotten from your streams and videos. Hope you manage to sort it out, sending love from Portugal

Good luck brad, cant say much except hoping you can make it through this

Honestly, I would follow you to a new channel or platform because I like your vibes and the kind of dude you are. Like, if you had a show "Brad Taste In Sandwiches" where you fucking review sandwiches, I'd still watch that, because you're funny and cool. Don't ever give up XOXO

I think I speak for everyone in the community when I say Brad gives me joy. He’s really improved over the years and so has the quality of his content . This hard work should not just be put down the drain. KZfaq really needs to get their stuff in check.

GODDAMMIT PLEASE LET THIS CHANNEL BE OKAY!!!! Wishing you luck in this bullshit Brad

i really hope things get better brad :( watching your streams and hanging with chat is such a fun experience to me. I will follow you wherever you go

KZfaq is getting a big red headphones from me and a steal your soul to whoever filed that strike. Without being parasocial, Brad’s content brings me genuine joy and helps my blue collar work go by quicker when I can listen to streams on Tuesday through my earbuds. So much new music and little chuckles I’ve had to myself because of this man. Keep your head up and don’t let it get you down man, the community is here for you

What the hell happened to this comment section man?

we're with you brad

that's absolutely horrible i hope the issue gets fixed and you feel better soon :((

brad brad brad im so sorry :( fighting for u always :( we love u dearly brother :( thank u for developing such a kind and wonderful community. we’ve got your back !!! this is so fucked and please never apologize for what youre doing or expressing emotion. i admire you for doing so. this is terrible news but you’re gonna get through this. this site is fucked but you have a backing that won’t stand for this. we got you brother

Stay strong dude. You can do this.

this is a panic attack of a video i hope this situation gets better im sorry for brad we are with you

love you brad

whats up with all of the melanie martinez glazers in the comments, she doesnt know yall bro 💀

I've watched your 2011 Video just a few hours ago and it made me laugh like I haven't laughed in weeks. You're a good guy and you have an incredible talent for entertaining people. To see you hurt and broken like this is so gut wrenching. I have a strong feeling though that with the community's support, things will eventually sort themselves out. It'll be a tough couple of days, but we will find a way to deal with this and I'm sure things will go your way sooner than you think! ❤

You should try and contact legal eagle i know he works with other creators on copyright issues and i know there are other lawyers who work as creators for other creators, im wishing the best for you man please be careful.

hopefully KZfaq actually changes its mind and keeps your channel up, you’re one of, if not my favorite streamer ever and losing everything you worked on is terrible 😭

LOVE YOU BRAD!!! It'll all get sorted out in time. Looking forward to dropping into your next stream!

This is so hard to watch. Seeing someone cry because their livelihood is threatened (ESPECIALLY with how things are economically right now) over a review…literally doing NOTHING wrong, is awful. The fact that they barely looked at your appeal before denying it..,.which is unfortunately something I’ve seen before, is so disgusting. I hope hope hope that you can find some support. As some other people have said, I think talking to Fantano and some other creators who have ABSOLUTELY had to go through this bullshit couldn’t hurt. This website has been so broken for so long. I’m so so sorry Brad. I’ll be thinking about you and HOPING you, your fellow KZfaq friends, and your supporters can figure out something. I wish I could help more than this comment and the like but I at least hope they help push this video higher in the algorithm so that more people can see it. The more eyes on this, and the more people know about the horrible way that the KZfaq copyright system screws people over, the better. Don’t lose hope yet and take care of yourself. ❤

Thank you for being so vulnerable with us, Bradley. got me weepy, too. we love you!

We will support you in any way we can, Brad. Stay calm and with your head up

This is genuinely heartbreaking man, we stand with you brad

I can't live without this channel, hope everything get fixed

Man, we can only hope they'll realize just how unfair that is. You've shown no malicious intent, always credited the artists at every occasion possible, and you've been a positive influence in the music 'industry' here on this platform. Please, youtube, or whoever makes those decisions. Come to your senses, and free Brad from this traumatic experience (I lack better words for this, I'm sorry). ... Seeing this is just so upsetting, it's terrible.
