Chad Zumock Says He Lifted His Copyright Strike Against Kevin Brennan's MLC
October 23 catch-up: Zumock publicly said he withdrew a YouTube strike against Brennan's Misery Loves Company channel as their feud continued.
October 22?23, 2026 catch-up. Chad Zumock publicly said he had withdrawn a YouTube copyright strike that he had placed on Kevin Brennan's Misery Loves Company (MLC) channel, despite the two creators' continuing fallout. A post attributed directly to Zumock on X is the primary source for his account of the reversal. His announcement followed earlier public accusations and strike-related exchanges between the former collaborators. A Stallyn19 clip titled MLC vs Chad: KB Struck, Chad Responds ? 10/22/26 documents contemporary coverage, while Misery Loves Clips circulated a segment about Zumock's stated intention to remove the strike. The important distinction is between Zumock saying he removed a strike and independent proof from YouTube's private enforcement records. We can verify the public statement and that the topic was discussed in clips; we cannot independently confirm the platform's internal strike status. Karl Hamburger and Blind Mike's October 22 Dabbleverse Live episode also discussed the wider Brennan-Zumock dispute. This catch-up records a specific claimed change in the copyright-strike conflict, not a new feud beginning on the date of publication.
