How MagnatesMedia Almost Got DELETED

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… 😁

One thing that was good about this situation was it brought the community together against Alex Edson, all in unison

False copyright is getting crazy on YouTube, I'm dealing with the same things. Stay strong my friend, your work is great!

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.

Someone needs to make a harsh example of this guy and anyone abusing the system like him. Glad to see you figured it out. Keep up the good content

I cannot sufficiently express how happy I am to see you made it through this. You didnt deserve any of the grief you suffered.

I am glad you figured it out, hope YouTube will take this issue more seriously

Honestly, the company that stuck with him and still sponsored even during all this drama is a huge W

I’m surprised his channel wasn’t deleted for false copyright strikes.

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.

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!!

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.

I’m so glad you’re back dude. What Alex did will not be forgotten. He will forever be a disgrace to the YouTube Community.

Welcome back to YouTube! Hopefully this is the end of it, crazy how YouTube doesn’t take this more seriously

I'm so glad you're back! We are all behind you 100%! It was a learning experience for everyone!!❤❤😊

I had the same thing when I created a complete social media presence for my brand during covid. Then I built my online business. In 2021, someone registered a business using my business name...that person then contacted me on social media, with threatening letters to remove the name and close my business as they had it registered. In my case, I gave in and lost everything. I'm glad you stood your ground and fought it.

This isn't mere 'internet drama' This was your livelihood at stake man. It's great that you've figured it out :)

To say I’m relieved your channel isn’t getting deleted would be a HUGE understatement.

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.

"Living well is the best revenge." I certainly hope your channel can continue to live the best life it possibly can.
