Pokimane fans slam Twitch as she gets banned for watching 'Avatar' on stream
Renowned streamer Pokimane received a temporary 48 hour ban from Twitch this morning for streaming Avatar: The Last Airbender for 10 hours straight on her 'Watch Party' stream. The Twitch DMCA drama continues as her channel gets yet another ban after a long time.
Hosting 'Watch Parties' is a recent trend on Twitch, but streaming TV shows is always a risky matter.
Pokimane streamed the anime Avatar: The Last Airbender on her stream for 10 hours straight. Her fans were having a good time and everything was going as planned. However, things took a different route when her stream stopped and fans weren't able to spot her channel anymore.
Twitch DMCA banned her channel with a 48 hour suspension as they did not have an official license to stream the anime on their platform. Fans were notified about the same by Pokimane's tweet and started slamming the streaming platform for their "unfair" decision.
Other famous streamers like Disguised Toast requested that Twitch talk about their strict guidelines with more transparency.
Fans on Twitter had some pretty wild tweets regarding the recent drama, and they have some strong opinions on the same. While the community is divided, some are calling this ban fair and others are pointing fingers at Twitch for holding out on banning others.
