Dr Disrespect is streaming again, having transferred to YouTube after receiving a permaban from his partner platform, Twitch, a few weeks ago.
Twitch permanently banned Dr Disrespect – aka Guy Beahm – from its platform in June. At the time he was one of the most popular streamers on Twitch with more than four million followers, and had an exclusive deal with the company.
At the beginning of his return stream on YouTube – which is not thought to be a formal partnership yet – Beahm took time to tell his audience that he “still [has] no idea” why Twitch banned him.
“A lot of people wanna know… they wanna know what happened.’ Why did you get banned?'” Beahm said at the beginning of his stream. “Guess what? I want you to look me in the fu*king eyes when I say this, okay? We still have no idea. “We have no idea. And I’m gonna tell you this right now – as far as I’m concerned, we didn’t do anything to warrant a ban, let alone how they went about banning us. No communication before. No reaching out. Nothing. Boom. Done.”
