Popular animation and music YouTube creator Horror Skunx posted on X in response to a comparison post, calling the story around Skibidi Toilet “sad”, and indicating that that at one point they had been pressured by “the same people” (assumed to refer to Invisible Narratives) for money after refusing to sell a portion of Horror Skunx.
After further refusal, Horror Skunx reports receiving multiple back-to-back copyright strikes,
It is believed that Horror Skunx is referring to videos uploaded in early 2024. The videos which were seemingly hit by these strikes can be seen via HorrorSkunx original announcement posts (all of which are now privated):

Invisible Narratives was not mentioned by name in the post, however in an earlier YouTube post from February 29, 2024, Horror Skunx mentions the strikes from “DafuqBoom and his team“.
Importantly, at this time the channel was still named “DaFuq!?Boom!” which creates the natural assumption that this was Alexey himself, despite this occurring after Invisible Narratives owned the channel and IP under the 2023 agreement. It remains unclear if Horror Skunx ever actually spoke with or had word from Alexey personally at any point.
Notably, these strikes occurred before the interaction in the screenshot Invisible leaked of Alexey, which Invisible use to defend their copyright strike actions.
Given the way in which the allegation was described, particularly regarding the attempt to purchase a portion of Horror Skunx, many believe this is Invisible Narratives due to similar behaviours reported by other creators.
A pattern of outreach
Following this post from HorrorSkunx, community members hope to raise awareness of Invisible Narratives’ practices, so that other creators can make more informed decisions before working with the company.
Invisible have been observed reaching out to creators of many popular creators, games, franchises, and channels, in hopes of partnership, hiring, or other types of business relationships. These examples often involve namedropping both Adam Goodman and Michael Bay to create an impression of credibility and industry influence.
