@everyone YouTube has officially denied my appeal, so it's confirmed: I will be streaming exclusively on Twitch for the next three months. Follow me here. https://www.twitch.tv/mattforney

@everyone I just got an email from YouTube telling me that one of my videos (a live stream from June) has been made private for supposedly violating their rule against "misleading descriptions and tags." It's clear that I'm being targeted for removal, so I may be taking some of my videos private or unlisted in the coming days.

@everyone Annnnnnd YouTube just told me that this video (an episode of my old podcast This Alt-Right Life) has been put in restricted mode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K2rSduuxyA

@everyone Just got a second strike on my YouTube account, this time for a live stream I did back in May (the one on the death of porn star Cherry Poppens). Now I can't upload anything on my channel for two weeks, and one more strike will result in my channel being banned altogether. I'm currently in the process of removing some of my old content to forestall this inevitability (don't worry, I have most everything backed up and will be putting it on BitChute at a later date).

@everyone YouTube may be gunning for me, but the show must go on. This evening at 6PM Eastern/5PM Central/3PM Pacific, I will be streaming the midterm elections live with special guests, your calls, and more. Additionally, for every $5 I receive in Streamlabs tips, I will be taking a shot of vodka to make things interesting. https://www.twitch.tv/mattforney

@everyone Great news, everyone: my appeal on the Cherry Poppens live stream was accepted and one of the strikes on my YouTube channel has been removed. I still can't stream, but I can at least upload videos again. I will still be cleaning up the content on my channel to minimize my risk of this happening again. Additionally, there will be no live stream today because I'm still recovering from yesterday's stream.

@everyone YouTube has overturned another one of the attacks on my account: the stream from June that was made private due to "misleading tags" has been made public again.

@everyone I've recorded a ton of video from the Warsaw march, but because my Internet connection is slow, I won't be able to upload it until I get home on Tuesday. Additionally, there will be no live stream on Monday due to the fact that I'll be flying back home around that time. I will be streaming on Tuesday or Wednesday instead.

@everyone I have begun uploading my video from Warsaw. The first video will premiere tonight at 7PM Eastern/6PM Central/4PM Pacific. Due to the way my phone works, the video was recorded and will be uploaded in 20-minute segments: I will create a playlist featuring all of the videos. https://youtu.be/LQOFTGeO8ZI

@everyone I've created a playlist for all of my Warsaw videos. The first one will premiere at 7PM Eastern/6PM Central/4PM Pacific, with each video premiering in successive half-hour intervals all night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQOFTGeO8ZI&t=0s&list=PLz__YxOBedZJg71UmRllrikadhblg6JwK&index=2

@everyone I'm going live this afternoon at 2PM Eastern/1PM Central/11AM Pacific to talk about the Polish independence march, the "Nazi salute" at Baraboo High School, the midterm elections, and more. https://www.twitch.tv/mattforney

@everyone Because I couldn't do a stream on Monday, I will be streaming this afternoon at 2PM Eastern/1PM Central/11AM Pacific, talking about a retarded Gab neo-Nazi who got arrested recently, the general dysfunction of neo-Nazis, and more. Because of the strike on my YouTube account, the stream will air exclusively on my Twitch channel.

In addition to this, I will be taking a shot for every $3 I receive in Streamlabs tips. You can send tips before or during the show and I will read your comments live on air: https://www.twitch.tv/mattforney

@everyone I'm live with the Bechtloff and Artistic Layman right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9Z5TzyEBYk

@everyone I've received a second Community Guidelines strike, this time for a stream I did last month making fun of Richard Spencer. Pretty sure it was one of his idiot fans who did it, considering that Spencer went after me on JF's show last night. The strike was also for "spam" (lol). I'm appealing this strike per usual but until/unless it is appealed, I will not be able to upload videos to YouTube.

@everyone That was quick: the strike I got this morning has been reversed and the video reinstated.

@everyone I will be streaming this afternoon at 2PM Eastern/1PM Central/11AM Pacific on Eric Swalwell (the Democratic congressman who threatened to nuke America if they didn't give up their guns), the neo-Nazi rally in Little Rock, Arkansas led by Matthew Heimbach, a tranny protest in Ukraine that was broken up by nationalists, and more.

Additionally, even though the second strike on my YouTube channel was removed, for some reason, I'm now blocked from making text posts on my account, even though I made one while I had two strikes on my account and another right after the second strike was removed. https://www.twitch.tv/mattforney

@everyone Emergency stream this afternoon at 2PM Eastern/1PM Central/11AM Pacific on how Gab has begun doxing its users and more. https://www.twitch.tv/mattforney

@everyone Google has not only banned my YouTube channel, they also tried to disable my Google Account period (it appears to be working now). They claim that my YouTube channel was banned for "spam, scams, and deceptive practices." Keep in mind that I only had ONE strike on my channel. I've submitted an appeal to restore my account and will keep you updated.

@everyone YouTube has restored my channel. I'm not taking any chances so I'm going to begin mass-migrating my videos and livestreams to BitChute today. Additionally, as I mentioned yesterday, I won't be doing a stream today due to a prior social engagement.

@everyone This is bizarre: while my YouTube channel is back and the videos on it can be accessed publicly again, when I try to log into YouTube, I'm told my account has been "permanently disabled." I can access my channel via the YouTube app with no issues. I also got a sudden wave of copyright claims on some of my old videos (including one video being pulled offline altogether; no strike, though).

@everyone I've created a BitChute channel and will be uploading my videos in chronological order there over the next few days. Please subscribe to my channel there since it's clear that my days on YouTube are numbered. https://www.bitchute.com/channel/matt-forney/

@everyone I've regained access to my YouTube account; however, all of my videos have been marked as being "ineligible for monetization" (fine by me since I didn't run ads on them anyway) and monetization on my account has been disabled. I'm not sure if this will affect Super Chats; according to YouTube, Super Chats are still enabled on my account.

UPDATE: never mind, monetization was suddenly re-enabled.

@everyone I'm joining Bryden Proctor for a live stream in two minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0PB1mfNo7A

@everyone I'll be streaming this afternoon at 2PM Eastern/1PM Central/11AM Pacific on the #ThotAudit, Gavin McInnes disavowing the Proud Boys to save his own ass, the Ukraine situation, some beef I have with the Bechtloff, and more. https://www.twitch.tv/mattforney

@everyone There won't be a stream this afternoon because I have a prior social engagement. I'll be streaming later in the week.

@everyone I'll be a guest on Right to Bryden in about one hour (8PM Eastern/7PM Central/5PM Pacific). The show is live now and you can listen here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ9MYFQGhl0

@everyone I've reuploaded my "debate" with Jim Goad to my YouTube channel. Please mirror it if you can since Goad and Sterzinger are intent on scrubbing any and all evidence it ever happened from the Internet. https://youtu.be/51zX6wfnho8

@everyone I will be streaming this afternoon at 2PM Eastern/1PM Central/11AM Pacific on the death of George H.W. Bush and more. https://www.twitch.tv/mattforney

@everyone I forgot to post this yesterday, but I made an appearance on the Bechtloff's Saturday Night Livestream last night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO_ELD5NDUw

@everyone I'm streaming with the Bechtloff right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7JxTrGln1c

@everyone There won't be a stream today because I'm drowning in work at my job and need to get clear of some of it. Fair warning that I may not be able to stream later in the week either.

To be perfectly honest, I've been seriously burned out by the attacks on my channel. With YouTube gone, I've lost around 80 to 90 percent of my live audience and virtually all of my streaming income. Despite my admonishments for people to follow me on Twitch, only a fraction of my audience has done so, and the YouTube premieres of my Twitch streams get fewer views compared to when I could stream on YouTube. I get far fewer Streamlabs tips than Super Chats (due to the smaller live audience as well as the fact that Streamlabs is more cumbersome), and I also have to do more work per stream as well (since I have to upload the video to YouTube after the fact). Basically, I'm spending much more time doing streams for a much smaller audience for considerably less money, and I have difficulty justifying this when I have tons of other things on my plate.

I don't plan on quitting, but I may be reducing Matt Forney Live to just once per week or moving it to different days of the week, at least until my strike expires at the end of next month. I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, like I've been saying, follow my Twitch channel to watch my streams: https://www.twitch.tv/mattforney
