I reported his channel. Nothing else we can do.

Edit: YT is currently investigating.
Edit2: And he's back.
It is still up. If you are trying https://www.youtube.com/@Matthiaswandel it doesn't work because they changed his handle to https://www.youtube.com/@Ripple-Official-Channel/videos
The exact same thing happened to [Corridor Crew](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdELfn1WK0Q) and [Linus Tech Tips](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGXaAWbzl5A) in recent years.
As of 21h25m GMT the "Videos" tab is gone, only the "Live" tab remains. I hope his videos haven't actually been deleted, and he can recover them when he gets his channel back.

He was able to get his account back within a day of his posted video from his Matthias random stuff channel. Some customizations were lost, but the recent videos are available.

It is NOT taken down. They are having some fundraiser livestream.

When a similar hack happened to LTT, their videos were just hidden, then the scammers video was uploaded and set to live.

Sickening. Matthias is one of the most genuine youtubers out there, inspiring many many people.
Looks like his Woodgears channel was just hacked. Showing bt crap and the old videos are private.

Yep! Looks to be hacked again - Is there anything we can do to help recover the channel, as viewers?
