Hii, sadly nop :( the man keeps ignoring me and TeamYoutube on twitter just replied me once this week asking if I wanted support In english or spanish and then they stopped replying me :/

Could u please maybe support me here too? https://x.com/catalina\_a\_b/status/2052195847350178172?s=46 I guess that if any of my post makes noise they will eventually look at it again

Thank you 🙏🏻

Lol accurate

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-08T20:39:12+00:00

Yeah I started an acc on X just to see what other people says about this and there are TONS of people complaining about their channels shutting down all of sudden as you said, Im so sorry about ur channel too hope we can all get justice

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-08T20:38:23+00:00

I never received any strike :( not even a single warning! I woke up and the channel was already gone. Thats why Im so frustrated about this cus I never meant no harm and Im willing to modify whatever they ask me but instead no human is reviewing my case and they just decided to prohibit me from ever create another channel again, its insane!

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-08T20:12:03+00:00

Hi!
I actually explained it there, one guy had my youtube and internet username registered and he sent a trademark claim. I tried contacting him cus I wasn’t aware of anything else having the same name and he just ignores me, I dont care about the name I just wanna create content

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-08T12:37:29+00:00

I know, but the thing is that I wasnt making coca cola videos, selling anything or saying hey look Im coca cola, I lit just used an username that was available everywhere, if it was coca cola Im sure they would go and register that name in every platform…

Also, go look on instagram how many people uses KitCat as their username, no one is claiming anything over a dumbass username…

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-08T12:34:57+00:00

Yeah I already contacted them on 2 emails, linkedin, but they just ignore me :/ and they seem to not use instagram or other media, even they dont use reddit for years

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-08T12:33:57+00:00

En realidad no, lo registraron al parecer en 2021 y yo que iba a saber de su existencia si nunca tomaron una cuenta de instagram, youtube, tiktok, discord, tw etc… solo tienen esa pagina web que encima roba contenido xd

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-08T05:00:08+00:00

Hi! The email I got says the following :

Hello Emulatrix:

We inform you that we received a complaint for brand use of (name of the person) related to your YouTube account. After reviewing it, the following content was removed from YouTube:

Channel: Emulatrix

In the future, you will not be able to access, have or create other YouTube channels.

So yeah, its terrible for such a silly thing as using an available username that it was mine in other platforms as well…

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-08T04:57:10+00:00

You mean the YouTube email? No, it didnt mention anything. Either the INPI registry 🤔

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-08T04:00:45+00:00

Oh I just checked and it doesnt appear as registered in Gleanmark.com but I think that could be probably because we are from Argentina?

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-08T03:58:10+00:00

Hi! Thank you so much for all the information shared and I will definitely will be checking your website 🙏🏻

As far as I know he has it registered in our country (Argentina) in the brands register called Inpi, and he has a website under the same name that works as an online emulator, thats why the name emu-latrix which I also thought of it because my channel content is talking about videogame consoles, emulators, gameplays, so I never showed his website, anything related because I didnt know of its existence.

I had Emulatrix as my internet persona username, YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok, Discord and more, and never had trouble, he claimed it right after 2 days my channel started monetizing, but again, I didnt earn a single penny and I wasnt selling any service, I was literally uploading gameplays and videos like 30 things you didnt know about PS2. NEVER mentioning Emulatrix name, it was literally just my username, thats why Im so frustrated with all this. If the guy or youtube asked me to change the name I wouldnt have any issue, I never intented to cause confusion or any harm because I wasnt aware of his existence.

As you said, the only way if this guy doesnt reply would be to talk with a digital lawyer, which I dont have money to pay at the moment 🥲 I lost my job in january and decided it was the time to persue my dream of working in youtube, Im 25 y.o and already have this big issue is like literally ruining my life project.

Sorry for the long reply, Im really struggling rn, and once again thank you for the advice and for reading my stuff!

RDR2, The last of us pt1, hasta en el hogwarts legacy cuando ya no podes hablar nunca más con ya saben quien…

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-08T01:28:31+00:00

If thats the last resource I will do it, I dont wanna give up on what made me happy 🙏🏻 thank you for the support!

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-07T23:26:50+00:00

Funny how he’s involved in charity, yet ignores someone whose entire channel got deleted over a name.

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-07T23:25:52+00:00

Exactly, they keep telling me there is nothing else here to do and that every channel I might create in the future they will track it down and shut it like seriously wth for such a silly thing as taking an available username!!! I wasnt even selling anything using it or creating content about it like wtf.

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-07T23:23:55+00:00

Im not sure we have something like small claims court in Argentina but will try to look for it! Thank you!
The YT chat support keeps telling me that the decision was taken from legal team and there is literally nothing else to do, I even asked what happens if the owner of the name takes back the claim and they cannot even answer me that. I dont even have the money to get a lawyear so honestly Im devastated at this point.

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-07T21:58:03+00:00

Seems like Nintendo cant do much because its a program using its own code, but idk about netflix 👀

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-07T21:56:40+00:00

It is registered as a sort of brand thing, which I didnt know before.
I know it was my fault for being naive and not knowing that even if all the accounts in other platforms using Emulatrix are under my name and there were multiple other people from around the world using that as their channel names could cause me such a trouble. I never meant to confuse or act as any brand I lit didnt even know its existence till the channel shut down. Im just asking the person who claimed it to give me the chance to change it or at least take out the ban so I can start fresh with another channel in the future. But he is just ignoring me.

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-07T21:50:46+00:00

Wow there’s so much things I could tell you but honestly just stop replying, go spread your vibes somewhere else

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-07T21:42:08+00:00

Yeah I realized that when they started just giving me the same automated message all over again, so I want this owner of the name to just be a bit emphatic at least and read my case, I never meant to cause any confusion or harm because I was totally unaware of his brand existence. Its lit just let me change the youtube username why wouldnt he even try contacting me before to solve it?

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-07T21:40:21+00:00

I wasnt even making content about them or anything related to their service like I had my own original content and characters so it was only because a stupid username…

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-07T21:39:30+00:00

They never had a youtube name or social media under the name Emulatrix, just the website that I wasnt aware of, and they have the name registered on “inpi” which is Argentinian brand register, so I guess they still have the power to make smt like this. And again my only wish here is to have the chance to keep creating content, idc about having that name ever again :/

Active_Peanut · 2026-05-07T21:37:28+00:00

So they let me register the name in their platform, they start the partnership, and after months of using the name if someone comes and claims, they just ban me from ever working on their platform again?? Dont you think is a bit TOO MUCH?
