At the start of 2026, Alexey liked many tweets on Twitter relating to art or new years. These were only some of the tweets fans noticed. Others were reportedly liked and then unliked shortly afterward – which fans interpreted as Boom trying to signal support without drawing too much attention.

Ibio’s server was in a very bad state. Ibio had left the server and community for a decent amount of time up to that point and people were mass spamming #bringibioback in the general chat. Eventually, basically all channels including general were taken down and many times the chat was reset. In response to this DavidLB updated his profile to the following. This eventually caused Ibio to come back to the server and respond with his own status mocking this one.

Inviz Employee Information
Santossar, a YouTuber in the community, revealed how he had spoken to some Invis employees and felt a lot more hope. For context, up to that point he had been widely against Invis. This sudden “perspective shift” as he put it was interesting.
Santossar followed up with another statement discussing how he had received harassment due to his previous post and elaborating further on what position he has in the Invis situation.
Regarding this info from iron cameraman, he clarifies how the Invis employee is most likely guessing and that Austin is probably one of the main talkers to boom.
Many fans were skeptical of the employee’s comments, both because of Inviz’s previous PR statements and because one employee may not have had the full picture of Boom’s situation.
The worker santossar spoke to didn’t know of the ex Invis’s employee from iron cameramans interview as this worker was relatively new with only 7 months in Invis at this time and hadn’t even met that old employee.
Throughout January, the playlists updated many times. But nothing ever changed. There were some hidden videos in the playlists. One person pointed out how one may be the original part 4 of episode 67, where an accidental representation of an extremist symbol appeared and therefore was taken down, and the other was a trailer for this old mobile game Alexey made in 2023
In this case, it appeared to be a removed video.
Privacy Complaints & Takedowns
Also on January the first the 44 minute long part 1 of the call was officially taken down after a privacy complaint was filed days earlier which YouTube had finally finished reviewing and decided to take down the call upload.
The same occurred to Ibio75’s videos en masse.
Iron Cameraman also received a defamation complaint, blocking their video in the UK.
Additionally, a video from Ibio75 was reportedly taken down following a privacy complaint from DavidLB.
