BE PREPARED SUSHI SQUAD!😫

Hey you all, wanted to make this post as we are freaking out and stressing out over here. Sounds like a few big anime companies in Japan are hitting tons of creators here on patreon for copyright infringement claims, and accounts are being suspended and under review.

I reached out to our patreon rep and she confirmed our account has also been flagged. We dont have any more info atm, but we are going to make sure to do everything we can to prevent our account from being suspended but a lot of this is out of our hands.

Once we have a list of all the videos that have been hit, we will most likely be removing them temporarily while we figure out an alternative to make sure you all have access to everything you have paid for. AHHH this is scary, but I know we will fight through this. This is nothing compared to what Levi, Rock Lee, Tanjiro and others have been through! So we got this. 😤

Just wanted to make this post as a "just in case" and keeping you all in the loop of what is going on. Love yall! Have patience this next week with us!

Dam, this would happen on the day we hit 100k subs on Youtube! CMON!!!😭

it is way more fun to watch uncut anime reactions than diving into a new anime alone. I always thought Patreon charged reactors in this case, and payed fees for copyright, so many websites with anime for free they targeting the wrong ones. who here never seen anything they ever posted? it will take them 20 years to catch up to me on anime, and guess what? i never paid a single dollar, i thought patreon payed and well animes get money out of reactors which its naruto etc fans that gain views millions of views, so patreon sucks. Patreon taking their money and gets banned. Whats the difference between those two?

... It's not bt controlling. You do realise that ppl are watching the animes for free via the patreons too right? It's basically another version of illegal online streaming.

Hudashick

You know it’s serious when they start with “hey you all” and not “hey y’all”

shouvik das

Tbh bruh Japan is so used to controlling that if they make something they will do their best to control how it is to have people not enjoy their product

Mikaele Rosecrans

you could even create your own website lol, only your community will be able to go one

Asyjan

You could lower the opacity maybe a lil or use videmo

Isaac Augustin

You can move to mega too

Todd Williams

Use google drive

Anaxagoras

You could put them onto a google doc and give the file out to the patreon members. Its something that YaBoyRoshi did for his stuff.

MrPoseidon

I'm a supporter, but even still I can't justify to myself paying a monthly fee for reaction videos with no audio and video of the show and just a timer. It's unfortunate, but I'm sure that is the same for a vast majority. Just a heads up if you decide to go that route.

shad man

If the videos get taken down what then. I'm a patron to support not just to watch the full uncut episodes. I'd be fine with however they want to do it onwards

Charles Cow

Hope everybody goes well !

Juan Jose

We are with you, I am hoping for the best! stay strong s2

Hector Tavares

Damn...fingers crossed that your channel makes it through!

JLou

well they dont have those shows on here so it’s probably only demon slayer

Wilson Nguyen

it sucks this happened to you and others. These companies already get exposure through all the youtubers and they still want to strike everyone, its a ashame

SirGeel

🙏🏽

Kuro Shishio

i mean they practically do this on youtube already, the point of the Patreon was to watch the videos without edits

ivannbec

It happened to him months ago

Burning Talons

He got one too? The react pack also received one yesterday

Uriel Sanchez

It happened to YaboyRoshii what he did was reupload all his removed videos to a file on streamable

Burning Talons

That's the one yeah

matthew bremmer

the best solution is probably post videos on streamable or something and give us only links to the videos.

Normadus

not really. The other guy that I'm subscribed to ,got strikes on Jojo and Hunter x Hunter.

Normadus

i've seen some reactors also use a site called streamable to upload, or google drive

aairam_04

It's Demon Slayer. You should be fine if you remove that series. That's what everyone else had to do. Hope this helps.

OneEyedKing25

Honestly, I think that's what most reactors do, I followed two others before, and they all did that. If you choose to do that, then you can't pause during the video anymore.

ork89757

That’s crazy, but many people use Venmo or Onlyfans(yes Ik but it’s also a liable alternative 😂😂). Or Google Drive.

Zenru Renari

Sorry you both have to deal with this. Saw a lot of creators I follow get scrubbed without notice and it's awful. Most are now using docs to link to their videos externally through streamable, vimeo, or other sites. Wish yall the best and hope patreon communicates with its creators more in the future instead of blanket suspensions. Not cool.

Justin Yong

Just react without screen and sound, only with a timer and it's okay

dolo

Sounds kinda weird but you could do it on onlyfans? I seen other channels do it for music

B rub honeycomb

No worries y'all just take all the time you need to sort this out. Always with y'all!!🫡

Luka Zrnic

honestly i’d say vimeo because the alternative (timers, countdowns, etc.) are honestly kind of hard to sync up and pretty confusing.

ashiya

you can use vimeo starter plan (12$/month) and upload 60 videos with password each month

Mouson

To be fair, they’re showing most of the episode when it’s supposed to be 10 minutes only. They should just make their own website.

SadLeche

Something you two can do is to just post of you reacting to the entire episode without fully showing the episode only the subtitles. And have a timer on your screen where in the ep you are so the viewer can synchronize the episode with yours, then there should be no reason for any of it to be taken down. I know the reactor FILMBUFF does this.

Charles Cow

Vimeo link is the best option

Reina

It's happening to channels big and small.

Merfhew

Agreed, whole reason I subbed, pat exclusives were a nice bonus. I usually have their reactions on while I'm doing other stuff so the synced thing isn't going to work for me. Hopefully they figure something out. All love though ❤️

Dustin Granberry

One react account I follow got hit and they post a link to like a vimeo or whatever their secondary video acct is, and that seems to be working as of right now to get through a loophole. So instead of clicking and the video plays on the Patreon, viewers have to click a link that sends them to a separate site to watch the full react. IDK if that's helpful or not, but just thought I'd give my two cents from what I'm seeing as a viewer

Orangeplum

are you referring to Totally not mark? PAIN

Zechree

Idk how many times ive watched my favorite shows over and overagain with content creators. with my own copy 96% of the time lol

Zechree

yeah if that's the case its 100% bullshit. My boy Ishinobi does the sync up timer, if I didn't use my own copy it would just be heavy breathing! lmfao nothing criminal there, except the false flagging of "some" content

Zechree

Some people just do a timer and the audio so we can sync, or just the bottom portion of the screen with the subs. not sure if that will help and I know some fans may really love the entire episode included but it was a matter of time before something like this occurred. not just you guys obvi, stay strong sushi squad will follow you guys wherever the content goes. even if its behind bars. <3

Zechree

im really sorry that this had to happen, but I'm sure we are all gonna stick through this together and it's gonna be just fine

Prateek Sridhar

it was a matter of time. i agree with moving them to vimeo.

onew's falsetto

You can also make your own site with links to your video files in Vimeo or something!! Just an idea! The normies did something like that

Hennessey

Damn right before Demon Slayer….. Boooooo

Art of Trolling

That's a bummer. Hopefully it all works out in the end

Eddi3 Th3 H3ad

OPM doing a lot of patreons in

Lilbabybeard

Ohh nooo hope it’s going well 🕯️🕯️🕯️💙

Tini loves-NOYA❤️ #remsubaru

Japanese media companies are kinda crazy when it comes to these things. A dudes manga review channel on youtube got copyrighted to hell and he didn't even show the manga pages, just talked about what happened in them.

matthew bremmer

Yeaaa pretty sure most of us knew you would get hit with the uncuts. A lot of content creators who did that had to change to timed videos which suck. Knew there would be a chance to your channel too. Great while it lasted 😭

Scar

Yea well, I knew it was coming eventually. Main reason i subscribed to your patreon was for the full uncut videos.( OG CROW BABY) Would hate to see that go away, synced watchalongs arent my thing. Lets hope for the best outcome

Hertog

Welp time to binge watch your reactions to haikyuu and my hero academia before it's too late lol

MKGalaxy

Are you serious??? Bruh Patreon needs to protect its creators that should be fair use like on YouTube

Overbyte

apparently they're claiming those type of videos too

Brandon Cotterell

thats insane, how can they even claim ownership over that? if they arent showing the content that theres nothing of their to claim ownership of. weird

Brandon Cotterell

You can put the videos that are flagged into a google drive folder, other reactors on Patreon have done it and keep it PINNED as well.

duburi

You guys might want to check out how Dos Cavasoz do their Patreon reactions. I wouldn’t mind syncing up my own copy to watch tbh

Ferdz

When I watched demon slayer reactions, I went back to the show - twice. I went and bought the full manga. It’s such an opportunity!

Madison Corbett

That sucks

Erick

This is true, I end up rewatching episodes after I watch the reaction or I watch them ahead of time because I'm excited for the reaction. The companies are really missing an opportunity to exponentially grow their viewership by work WITH reactors instead of AGAINST them. Stay strong and avoid stress.

Mystic_ramen

This is something I've always been curious of. How can we get full episodes with the reactions lol. I always thought, if so many of the creators are doing it, it must be okay. Really hoping you guys get everything sorted, take all the time needed!

LandMarkMetal

They hit timer reactions as well.

matthew bremmer

You might have to do timer reactions going forward. Which isnt the worst tbh

Erick

Sad newss but congrats on 100k 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Quiet Whyit

Look I'm not an expert and I don't know anything official, but my guess is that it has to do with the videos where you show the entire episode. From what I understand, you are allowed to show 10 minutes of a show, so that's why most youtube videos and stuff are cut down to just the important parts, so Patreon might have to be the same way. That's just my guess, could be something to look into, I'm not an expert but just trying to help figure out how we can keep you two moving so we can keep watching along! Hoping for the best!

OctaviusLee

Fair use is not a thing in Japan. They give 0 fucks

Madison Corbett

I wish these companies realized how much traffic reaction programs generate to the original source material.

Madison Corbett

Some i know to got demon slayer taken even if they did the sync up version

Dark_SinTeX

That's crazy! Take your time. I can't imagine all of the work it will take for some of the other creators to correct their channels.

Phoenixfire2020

Before when tokyo ghoul got hit on their channel they made like an folder in google drive with al videos uncut with tokyo ghould reactions in it

Dark_SinTeX

I think you should be okayyy under Fair Use

Erick

Or just maybe like put them in a folder in google drive and just send them to patreons with a link some patrons i know did that

Dark_SinTeX

I’ve seen other creators port the reaction and you have to have your own copy of the show and sync yourself. Either way I’m here for the ride!

Overbyte

It happening when you hit 100k makes perfect sense. It means you made thier hit list once you reached the milestone

Omar Bautista

It’s Sony for demon slayer. They’re so greedy it’s insane. My friends that do reactions are getting hit with it too. You might have to remove the unedited demon slayer :(

Tyler Lacy

I’m so sorry that this is happening to y’all and other creators to. You all got this!!

Katelyn Koehler

Yikes! Hope it turns out ok. These companies can be ruthless and totally unfair. Crossing my fingers and toes
