YouTube live streaming lo-fi hiphop station ChilledCow taken down. (Update: Everyone can now chillout, the channel is back)

[Smoshow]

Popular YouTube page ChilledCow was taken down late last night. Not sure what happened but as someone who listened to this every day I am deeply saddened by this.

ChilledCow on Twitter

“@YouTube @ytcreators Any explanation on this?”

Update 1

Update:

ChilledCow on Twitter

“@YouTube @ytcreators I will make an announcement if my account is unbanned, anyone using the name ChilledCow and/or the livestream image is a false account”

They will make an announcement if the account gets unbanned.

That's a bummer, I've been using it for years now. There are plenty of similar channels though.

 

[Smoshow]

Edit*
Thanks

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Oh no, that channel was life.

Maybe because it's streaming on Spotify there was some rights mixup?

 

[SJRB]

This is huge. Chilledcow is insanely popular.

Hell, I listen to Chilledcow literally every morning when I get ready for work.

 

[Derkon]

Dang I found this stream not too long ago.

 

[M.J.]

They don't even play remixes of copyrighted music, like DJ Cutman using lo-fi video game song remixes. What could be the reason for them being shut down?

Youtube sucks, they let so much other pure garbage stay on, but have to do stuff like this.

my dog will not be happy, since it is her station to listen to while we go to work!

 

[ghostemoji]

This sucks.

 

[Village]

That sucks
Did the other lofi hip hop stations get hit by this

 

[Deleted member 52442]

interested in seeing the reasoning

 

[lunarworks]

Damn, I didn't listen often, but it was an amazing channel.

 

[Talos]

Damn, I listened to that to genuinely help me sleep sometimes. Sucks.

 

[Dyle]

She hadn't even finished her homework!

 

[Klyka]

WHAT?

nonononoNONONONOOOOOOO

 

[Run Goku]

Hope they can get that sorted out. This stuff is indispensable at work.

Chillhop Music is the other one I listen to regularly--easily recommend to anyone looking for a replacement.

 

[Dimple]

Nooo, I'd have this on in the background from time to time and it was so relaxing, not to mention the awesome artwork of that girl doing her homework.

 

[chezzymann]

Wonder if it's related to the for kids bullshit and they tried to flag his stuff

 

[HotsauceDragon]

If youtube had pulled this during finals week it would have been total carnage

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Ehh...its still on Spotify so I'll continue to listen to their 3 stations there.

 

[h1nch]

Lame. I loved this channel and listened to countless hours.

I know it's on Spotify but I liked listening on YT as I enjoyed having the background animations on my TV.

 

[Qvoth]

end of an era
been a long while since i listened to them since i'm mostly on spotify now

 

[Deleted member 2802]

add any music u want.

 

[BasilZero]

Oh wow...end of an era :(

 

[Klyka]

 

[Papa Satanás]

It'll be back.


😬

 

[dyelawn91]

What a shame. I always have this on in the background when I'm writing.

 

[Loxley]

Damn, they had like 4.5 millions subs too.

 

[Askherserenity]

Ok why would it be taken down?

That's a bummer. Really hope it comes back up.

 

[Hektor]

this is a warcrime

 

[Mary Celeste]

god youtube is fucking trash

 

[JDSN]

I hope the cat is okay.

 

[SJRB]

It's pretty wild that there's literally NO explanation as to why in that youtube statement.

What the fuck.

 

[Darryl M R]

I don't know why but the Spotify playlist doesn't feel the same as the live YouTube playlist.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Study Girl......

Study Girl????


STUDY GIIIIIIRRLLLLL!!!!!!!

 

[Falcon511]

Ehh I listen to them on Spotify anyway. But it sucks cause you don't get that beat animation with cat.

I am sure it will be back.

 

[Lafazar]

Try this instead:

 

[Ragnorok64]

I hope this isn't a harbinger of doom for YouTube radio streams.

 

[Box]

Shit I've been listening to this once a month while I do my expenses. Guess I'm poor now.

 

[MrNewVegas]

Unreal. This was my go to for when I did homework.

 

[Ed.]

I'm sure there are plenty of other ones for you guys. Must suck for the person running it.

 

[Treythalomew]

I liked it but I never could get past the popping noises. The playlist songs never heard anything but on YouTube there was always random popping that kicked me out of my groove.

 

[--R]

Give it back, Youtube.

 

[Feep]

HOW DARE

 

[JigglesBunny]

TIL that people actually listen to these and it's not just a big meme.

 

[NotLiquid]

I expected this to happen sooner or later; you just don't get to that level of popularity and not have some people start feeling like they're getting short changed in terms of revenue - assuming that's what the issue is.

Doesn't hurt any less though. Thankfully I've learned of a lot of lo-fi artists through the stream and I follow their curated playlists, plus made a Spotify playlist of my own out of some favorites.

 

[Malajax]

This is actually terrible news and I'm very sad that it's gone for now.

[kirby_fox]

I feel like I jinxed it by saying the other day that everyone knows about it but no one really talks about the stream.

Sad day for live YouTube.
