iDubbbz’s channel was restored by YouTube eventually but the YouTuber had some things to get off his chest. He took to Twitter to vent his frustration at the termination. On November 25, 2017, he wrote “it sounds like you aren’t giving these channels any warning about the new guidelines. sad.”

He wasn’t the only one to be affected. Late night talk show host Conan O’Brien also got his YouTube channel, Team Coco, terminated. Drama Alert and MrRepzion were also terminated, however, all three of them have been restored.
