DeleteLawz Jose “Chille” DeCastro announced on his live stream on Monday that YouTube was effectively killing his channel, and he would soon be rebranding under the “first amendment auditor” moniker on a new channel.
DeCastro showed live metrics as his channel was losing viewers in real time and claimed that for the past 10 days that his channel has been stuck at the 623,000 range and was at risk of falling back to the range of 622,000.
Blaming YouTube for what he claims to be significant declines in his subscribers, DeCastro alleged that YouTube is forcibly canceling his subscribers and had his viewers check to see if they had been unsubscribed.
The problem, of course, is that DeCastro has always been accused of either buying subscribers and views or having them purchased for him. In our own reports dating back to January of 2023, DeCastro was pulling in a little under 200 live viewers during chats while he had 57,000 subscribers.
Currently, DeCastro averages around 200 live viewers on his YouTube channel to his 623,000 subscribers, only gaining massive amounts of subscribers on his lives if he goes to the vertical format or if it’s a major personal event in his life.
DeCastro’s current claims of making several thousand dollars in revenue per month and then having it limited to around $1,000.00 per month is also echoed in the old articles dating back to 2023. It seems to be a regular pattern for his channel.
Another angle could come from the FTC as the Federal Trade Commission has been cracking down on influencers using fake subscription services to inflate their subscriber base. The crackdown began around the time we noticed a significant drop off in DeCastro’s watch hours in August.
DeCastro, of course, has blamed the drop off on an organized effort by YouTube to kill his channel. He now claims that “a filter was put over his channel” when he was released from jail in July, and he believes that the only option is to kill the channel and start over as “First Amendment Auditor.”
Defying notices from his own audience, DeCastro claimed that his teamdlz.com website was up and working, despite it still displaying a countdown screen days after its supposed launch.
The YouTuber showed off a new logo for 1AA and said that he would be dropping the DeleteLawZ branding and would more than likely not re-order more DeleteLawZ branded hoodies or merchandise as his efforts will be on the 1AA project.
He reassured his viewers that he was in the process of trademarking “first amendment auditor” and would vigorously defend his trademark should he be awarded it.
Turning his attention to Dawn Newman and updating her status in jail, DeCastro played a recorded call from Newman’s neighbor Rosemary Coolidge, who said there was a massive conspiracy by the state of Arizona to put Newman in jail.
DeCastro took in $179.00 in super chats and said he brought in $210 from CashApp donations during the stream. The CashApp has been earmarked for Newman’s defense, while the super chats will apparently go towards paying for the ten free trifolds DeCastro claimed he was sending out tonight.
He also promised that he would be calling lawyers in Arizona to see if anyone was interested in defending Newman Pro Bono. He has not started a previously mentioned effort to raise $20,000.00 to Newman’s bond (10% of $200,000), and it is unlikely that he’ll turn his attention back to the GoFundMe market any time soon.
The GoFundMe Market was dead for Sunday, with no new donations coming in for any of the accounts we follow.
