I've been given 3 bans in 3 months with 1 month apart each. I understand that being negative and talking trash would be the main "obvious" reason for the ban. But I've grown up playing cod and other competitive shooters that are filled with toxicity, especially rust lol. I 100% understand that being racist and telling someone to self-harm is unacceptable which I don't ever condone and if I do come across that area it's usually a form of satire or just mild tilt. But the fact that twitch doesn't actually give you a video-proof reason or even exactly what you did is unprofessional af. Instead, they give a similar reason and give sub reasons on what you got reported on and "could" of done to get banned in that area. Pretty pathetic for a "community-driven" platform that thinks that they care for the people. There's soo many streamers out there being banned for dumb reasons.

I can see some logical reasons on why I got banned (like hateful slurs) but talking shit to people is a normal thing for gaming and taking that out of a platform is basically a violation of freedom of speech for people like myself that likes to openly express opinions critically. It's like we are living in a world full of cancel culture and super sensitive people which is honestly pretty sad. And the fact that the "mature content" option does nothing against that makes it basically useless.

Another thing is I've gotten no warnings for bans. They straight up ban you. Nothing more, nothing less. Like I said if they showed you what actually got you banned, you would be able to tell what you can learn from exactly. I really do hope youtube comes on top of the streaming market, they have huge potential at the moment. It all depends on how they execute it.

In the meantime, I'm gonna stream on twitch since I have a following already. As bad as I hate the platform at the moment, there's no point streaming on youtube due to the lack of community. And that can be fixed very easily by making it more appealing to streamers.

I say this in the video but honestly, I've never met an awesome group of people that came from a platform ever. 4 years ago, I just got my nbn and finally could stream, and now I'm chilling with people that I've still been talking to from that time and in between. I truly am grateful for everyone that's been around the channel. Even if you hop in from time to time, I appreciate every bit of it. I maybe haven't been the best growing channel but the community that got built is where it truly means everything to me. Thank you everyone, seriously.

I'll keep on the grind for streaming. No matter what platform bans me, nothing will change me from doing the thing I love.

Cheers lads.

*EDIT 09/03/22*

I'm currently transferring streaming to youtube since twitch decided to permaban my account (4 bans now) for reasons I can't really give because they don't tell you exactly what you’ve done to get the offense since they don't give actual proof, but I can guesstimate on the why. I assume it was because I say certain words like 'retard' or other slurs. Even though it was in a casual manner, they’ll still have a hissy fit over little things like that.

The latest (and most likely final) ban was on my 24th birthday (March 9th 2022). I had a few people that gifted me subs and we had a great time for the two hours that the stream lasted. All my good moments and work into my Twitch channel is gone from the platform because of a little thing like that. Cheers for the birthday gift Twitch.

Absolute pathetic platform.
