Did you use to watch BirdyBoots?

BirdyBoots was one of my favorite YouTube channels, ran by singer Emma Blackery.

I always loved the way she played and commented on games. It was cozy, chill, and occasionally really funny. It was also through her efforts that I ended up discovering some really cool games, like Life Is Strange and Until Dawn.

Unfortunately, she deleted the entire channel with no explanation during the peak of its popularity (and, what hurts most, in the middle of the highly-anticipated playthrough of Life Is Strange: Before The Storm).

I still watch her videos thanks to the tireless and (often) thankless work of video archivists, but maaan... I'd have loved to keep on watching her explore gaming through her very unique personality.

What about you? Were you a fan, too?

It feels like I've seen her before, so familiar…maybe I used to watch her

It is a bit unfortunate though since we don't know what exactly happened, but she's pretty enjoyable to watch, even this one video

My guess is that she was getting copyright-striked like crazy (she was active at a time when YouTube was getting really problematic on that area) and just pulled the plug to avoid getting her music channel affected. Still, a word would have been nice!

That's true, however YouTube has always been problematic for no reason sometimes so yeah

Can't say I've heard of the channel, it's always a bummer when someone just stops, but life happens sometimes.

Yep, that's life
