5 permanently banned Twitch streamers who are unlikely to return to the platform

sportskeeda.com:

Over the past decade, Twitch streamers have attained almost celebrity-like figures with millions of followers and a dedicated fan base willing to support them at any moment. However, a number of streamers have been on the receiving end of the purple platform's ban hammer, cutting short their Twitch careers.

Although Twitch is considered a prime location for streamers, the strict policies of the livestreaming platform often lead to creators getting the ban. Worst of them all is the 'perma ban,' which means that the concerned streamer has been indefinitely embargoed.

The following article lists five Twitch streamers who have received permanent bans and are unlikely to return to the platform.

The first entry to this list is also the most ambiguous one. Popular streamer Herschel "Dr DisRespect" was banned from Twitch in June 2020. The ambiguity behind Dr DisRespect's ban is still not known even after two-and-a-half years.

What makes the ban even more strange is that the streamer had signed a multi-million dollar exclusive contract with the Amazon-owned platform a few months before the suspension.

Regardless of the countless theories that have come out, the mustachioed-maverick has never revealed the true reason behind his departure. Presently, he streams exclusively on YouTube.

Controversial IRL streamer Paul "Ice Poseidon" is the second name on this list. He was banned in April 2017 following a swatting incident while boarding a flight.

For those unaware, swatting is popularly used to describe when the police interrogate a person after being falsely tipped as a prank. Paul, who was at the airport, had seemingly leaked his flight information before boarding it.

This gave ammunition for his viewers to place a faux call to the police.
