PewDiePie: Why did Twitch ban YouTuber without him even streaming? Fans call it 'beyond stupid'

Twitch, the top streaming platform owned by Amazon, has taken the surprising step of banning the internet personality and popular content creator, PewDiePie. This is significant due to PewDiePie's enormous following of more than 111 million subscribers on YouTube and his position as one of the most successful and influential creators in the online world.

PewDiePie's rise to fame began with his 'Let's Play' videos of various games on YouTube, where he shared his reactions to action and horror games with a global audience of millions. Despite having over 1.5 million followers on Twitch from a brief stint, his channel had been inactive for several years. As a result, the online community was shocked when, on March 21, PewDiePie's Twitch channel began streaming a strange video featuring episodes of Trailer Park Boys.

Why was PewDiePie banned from Twitch?

Following rumors of a hack, PewDiePie's Twitch channel began streaming an endless loop of his past videos in a stream called 'PewDiePie Infinity.' With over 3,000 hours of content uploaded to his channel, there was more than enough material for curious viewers to watch and share their reactions on the channel's live chat. However, on May 9, Twitch banned PewDiePie's Twitch channel without any clear explanation, which is unusual for the platform.

Fans of PewDiePie have been left perplexed by Twitch's decision to ban the YouTuber from their platform. Despite Twitch's failure to explain, many have speculated that the ban could be related to the 'bridge incident' where PewDiePie nearly used a racial slur during a live stream of PUBG in September 2017 in response to an unexpected event in the game.

'You can't make this crap up'

There are several theories about the reason for PewDiePie's ban from Twitch, with some speculating that Twitch's branded content policy played a role. One user suggested that PewDiePie's Twitch channel was streaming his YouTube video on demand automatically, which could have violated Twitch's terms of service since the content guidelines on YouTube are more relaxed than Twitch's. Another user expressed frustration with Twitch's decision, claiming that the platform purchased PewDiePie's videos only to ban him, indicating Twitch's mismanagement.

As of now, PewDiePie has not commented on the reasons for his recent ban from Twitch. It is uncertain whether he will share any information regarding the ban or its duration.

One Twitter user wrote, "Pewdiepie gets banned -- You can't make this crap up." Another user commented, "Pewdiepie getting banned from Twitch for shit he said 5 years ago is beyond stupid. If he isn't doing that shit now and even profusely apologized for it, then what gives? (1/2)" One user joked about PewDiePie getting banned saying, "What game is that, so I can avoid getting banned."
