Every college student’s favorite studying music was shut down during the weekend and students across the world lost it. The infamous ‘Lofi Hip Hop Radio – Beats to Relax/Study’ livestream which had amassed over 200 million views and continuously streamed for over 2 years was removed by YouTube moderators this past weekend.
The original uploader, ChilledCow, quickly protested to YouTube via Twitter and fans of the video came out in full force to protest the ‘Lofi Hip Hop Radio – Beats to Relax/Study’ stream removal.
