YouTuber and former Twitch streamer Jidon “JiDion” recently revealed that he had a call with a Twitch rep about potentially getting his perma-ban revoked. The ban was due to his hate raid on Imane "Pokimane" on January 12, 2022.
Despite apologizing for the event, and him and Pokimane burying the hatchet, the damage was done. Twitch took things seriously and banned the YouTuber permanently, though he has tried to get that undone.
Jidon took to Twitter on July 14 to talk about his Twitch ban. He tweeted:
On January 12, 2022, the YouTuber arranged a hate raid, which caused so much chaos that Pokimane had to end her stream early. The two would ultimately become friends. JiDion’s public apology led to her reaching out, and the two collaborated.
Even with Imane’s friendship, that’s not enough to get the Amazon-owned streaming service to unban him. He would show the email he received right after he got off the call, and it’s not looking good for the streamer.
The Twitch email reads:
Despite the drama between the two streamers being long since gone, Twitch refuses to let go and unban the streamer, who Pokimane has said is really, very nice. Due to this ban, he cannot appear in other people’s streams and create content with them on Twitch.
He still has 5M+ followers on YouTube, so he has a massive following nonetheless. He will not be getting back on Twitch anytime soon, it seems. This could change in the future, but right now, it’s not looking good.
Many of the YouTuber’s followers came out to support him, saying it was a significant loss for Twitch and not for him. After all, he is a massive star on YouTube, so Twitch is taking an "L." Of course, some people said it was a major win for Twitch, though.
