Summary
Ironmouse first got her start as a VTuber in 2017, following the initial boom in VTubers started by iconic creators like Kizuna Ai. Ironmouse was one of the founding members of English-speaking VTuber agency VShojo in 2020 and has won “VTuber of the Year” at The Streamer Awards for the past two years. While Ironmouse largely streams on Twitch as her main source of content, she has also hosted videos on both her mainYouTubechannel and a second channel devoted to uploading stream VODs. However, Ironmouse’s YouTube presence has now been dealt a major blow.
Ironmouses Confirms Her YouTube Channel Has Been Terminated
The shocking news about Ironmouse’s YouTube channel comes as VTubers have been a hot-button issue around moderation across multiple platforms. Twitch recently saw a major bug with the platform whereTwitch streamers' camera would accidentally be turned on, posing a major issue for content focused around virtual avatars. Many VTubers have also recently claimed that Twitch’s moderation team is unfairly biased against VTubers, with several VTubers receiving bans from the platform without clear reasoning for the suspensions.
Ironmouse’s termination from YouTube joins a trend that has seen many content creators coming back to Twitch after previous departures from the platform. Several popular creators likeMyth and LilyPichu have recently returned to Twitch, citing better chat services and revenue splits with the Amazon-owned platform. Twitch has also recently introduced improvements to its clipping system, allowing creators to more easily create stream highlights and share them across multiple platforms. Fans of Ironmouse can only hope her YouTube situation is resolved quickly while the VTuber presses on through her Twitch channel.
