Dr Disrespect Opens Up About the Price of Twitch Ban on His Career
09.04.2024 - 09:57 / gamerant.com / Dan Clancy / Rahman Shaukat
Renowned content creator Dr Disrespect recently opened up about the repercussions of his ban from the leading streaming platform, Twitch, describing it as a challenging period in his career. He revealed that the Twitch ban resulted in the loss of major sponsorships, such as a deal with the well-known brand Nike.
Many people who use Twitch, a streaming platform owned by Amazon, are aware that the platform often suspends even its most popular streamers for breaking its rules. Sometimes, Twitch informs the streamers about why they were banned, but other times they don't, which can be confusing. Dr Disrespect was permanently banned in 2020, and to this day, the public has never been told the reason behind it. Even after around four years, the incident still draws attention, with comments from Twitch executives, Dr. Disrespect himself, and rival streaming platforms interested in signing him.
During a recent stream, YouTube personality Doc Desrespect shared insights into the aftermath of his Twitch ban, highlighting the profound impact it had on him. He described the ban as a challenging period and acknowledged that its effects went beyond just losing his audience on the platform. Doc revealed significant repercussions, such as missed opportunities and financial setbacks due to lost deals and sponsorships with major brands like Nike and Oakley. Doc also teased the audience by mentioning that he could showcase Oakley prototypes at that moment.
It's undeniable that Doc's Twitch ban had significant implications, given his huge following of over 4 million and more than 50,000 subscribers at the time. However, Doc handled the ban well by quickly moving to YouTube, where he now has over 4.7 million subscribers. Furthermore, speculations have been circulating about Dr Disrespect potentially joining Kick, Twitch's competitor streaming platform, in the future. That platform has successfully attracted numerous top-tier streamers since its establishment in December 2022. Notably, Doc previously expressed his desire for a hefty $50 million to consider transitioning from YouTube to Kick.
While only time will tell if the exact reason behind Doc's ban will ever be revealed, it's interesting to note that in September 2023, Twitch's CEO, Dan Clancy, mentioned the possibility of offering permanently banned streamers a second chance. This could give hope to Doc's Twitch fans who want to see him come back, though it's questionable whether Disrespect would even want to return. Additionally, Dan Clancy amusingly hinted at the idea of alien possession as a potential reason for Dr Disrespect's ban in recent remarks.

Twitch is giving all users access to its discovery feed later this month
Twitch has been testing a discovery feed for livestreams and Clips on mobile since last year, in hopes of giving users a new way to find new streamers to follow and, hence, spend more time on the platform. Now, the website has announced that it's rolling out the feature to all users later this month. The feed will first appear as a new tab in the mobile app and will allow viewers to switch between a scrollable feed for livestreams and another one for Clips.

Hasbro is “Talking to a Lot of Partners” About the Future of Baldur’s Gate
Baldur’s Gate fans have had to wait an exceptionally long time for the beloved series to make its long-awaited comeback.

Do you have what it takes to watch the 38-hour-long YouTube video about The Beverly Hillbillies?
There’s an art to making an ultra-long YouTube video. For one, you have to make sure it’s broken up into digestible, complete chunks so that people can take natural-feeling breaks. Second, you have to use the length to your advantage. These are all things that Quinton Hoover thinks of when he publishes a video for Quinton Reviews, a pop culture video essay channel that’s recently been devoted to recapping a series episode by episode or breaking down years of history for a show.

Dr DisRespect Opens Up On Twitch Ban, Says It Was "A Tough Time"
It's been a while since Dr. DisRespect was banned from Twitch, and the streaming landscape has shifted dramatically over those four years, with the platform losing high profile talent such as Pokimane and xQc, while its main rivals Kick and YouTube continue to prosper. Twitch would probably kill for another high-profile user like Dr. DisRespect, but there's little chance of him returning as he's described his fallout with the platform as "a tough time" in his life.
