Why Did Shayy Remove 58 YouTube Videos? Here’s What Really Happened

4 minute read

There’s always something brewing on YouTube, but this time it’s a big one for the Undertale and Deltarune crowd. If you’ve ever fallen down the rabbit hole of fan mods and game re-imaginings, odds are you’ve watched a Shayy video or two. Or maybe a few million.

But recently, a huge chunk of Shayy’s channel vanished—over 58 videos gone and more than 62 million views wiped from the stats. All within a pretty short window.

Let’s break down what happened, why it matters, and what it means if you’re a fan.

The Vanishing Act: What Got Deleted?

Shayy is well-known for playthroughs, meme edits, and “but it’s written by AI” spins of games like Undertale and Deltarune. And—maybe most famously—they’ve played a lot of clips based on fan-created mods.

Here’s a quick look at what disappeared:

Full-Length Videos Removed

  • Deltarune, but it’s an Earthbound Romhack (176k views)
  • I played the BEST Deltarune Mod (491k views)
  • Undertale Genocide with Chara and Clover... (528k views)
  • TS!Underswap – Full Playthrough (252k views)
  • Undertale, but it’s written by an AI... (1M views)
  • (And many more—full list further down)

Shorts That Are Gone

  • Tem Shop scams you (because of a glitch) (6.6M views)
  • Secret Sans Text in Undertale (3.1M views)
  • Undertale tries to delete itself?? (1.6M views)
  • Hidden Message from Toby Fox?! (1.1M views)
  • (Plenty of others—details below)

In total, more than 62 million views worth of content disappeared.

Why Did Shayy Delete All These Videos?

From what I’ve gathered, this wasn’t just a sudden case of “creator’s regret.” A lot of the deleted videos had something in common: fan mods, fan games, and content by other creators.

Here’s the catch—according to a detailed Reddit post, developers from the Undertale and Deltarune fan community asked Shayy to take down clips that featured their work.

Shayy seems to have listened, even if that meant deleting some of their biggest hits.

Why Would Mod Devs Want Videos Taken Down?

People make fan content because they love a game. But modders and fan devs often set boundaries:

  • They’re nervous about spoilers. Especially with in-progress projects, seeing all the secrets on YouTube can spoil the fun.
  • They want credit and control. Sometimes, creators don’t like their work being remixed (or AI-generated) without a heads-up.
  • Personal reasons. Fan communities can get weird fast—some devs decide they just don’t want their stuff public anymore.

Whatever the reason, Shayy’s channel took the hit.

What’s Missing Now? (A Partial List)

If you’re wondering whether a favorite is gone, here’s a taste. The removed videos cover everything from deep-dive mod playthroughs to quick, viral shorts:

Big videos:

  • Undertale, but Chara and Clover join me... (1.2M views)
  • This Undertale Mod was made to troll me (1.2M views)
  • Deltarune: Chapter 1, but it’s written by an AI... (472k views)
  • Undertale Genocide, but written by an AI... (338k views)

Top shorts:

  • Tem Shop scams you (because of a glitch) (6.6M views)
  • Super Secret Undertale Character (1.1M views)
  • Weird Oversight in Undertale? (138k views)

(And over 40 more. For superfans, it’s a pretty big hole.)

Is This the End? Or Will More Go Missing?

Right now, there’s talk that more videos could get pulled. Fan game devs are watching closely, and Shayy seems to be following their wishes.

If you were binging the back catalog, you might want to check if your favorites are still up. Shayy’s channel could keep shrinking.

Why This Matters (Even If You’re Not an Undertale Fan)

This isn’t just about one YouTuber. It’s about the tension between creators, fan communities, and content rights. People pour their hearts into mods and games—but as soon as they hit the internet, it’s hard to control where they end up.

For YouTubers, it’s a warning: Even viral hits can disappear overnight if you don’t have permission, or if the community changes its mind.

For fans, it’s a reminder—archiving matters. Once a video is gone, sometimes it’s gone for good.

Final Thoughts

Shayy’s deleted videos are a big deal for the Undertale and Deltarune corners of the internet. But more than anything, this is about how complicated online fandom can get.

Content goes viral. People set boundaries. Sometimes, your favorite videos just… disappear.

If this trend keeps up, next time you see a cool fan mod or wild AI remix—maybe download it, just in case. You never know how long it’ll stick around.
