Creator responds to Church's takedown of his critical video

September 5, 2026 at 1:02 PM MT · via YouTube / Crispy's Tavern: Tales and Tea · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

A YouTube creator says a video critical of the LDS Church was targeted for removal, calling it "The Video the Mormon Church Didn't Want You To See" in a follow-up that has drawn 72,000 views in 24 hours. The creator, who runs the channel Crispy's Tavern, describes the takedown attempt and warns viewers not to harass anyone involved.

The video's description states "Man... it was good to get this off my chest. Anyway, this should mark the final chapter of the nonsensical" before cutting off. The creator does not specify the original video's content or who requested its removal in the available description.

Content takedown disputes have become a recurring friction point between the Church and its critics on video platforms, with both copyright and defamation claims sometimes invoked.
