PewDiePie finally addresses mysterious Twitch ban and \u201chack\u201d rumors YouTube: PewDiePieYouTube king PewDiePie has finally addressed his mysterious Twitch ban, as well as rumors of being \u201chacked\u201d after his profile suddenly went dark on May 8. Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg might be YouTube royalty, but he made a major comeback on Twitch earlier this year in a move that had the entire internet talking. On March 21, Kjellberg\u2019s Twitch account went live for the first time in years \u2014 but he wasn\u2019t exactly live streaming. Instead, he found a genius workaround for the platform by broadcasting his massive backlog of YouTube content 24\/7. Of course, many folks speculated that he\u2019d been hacked, but PewDiePie debunked these claims in a May 25 video\u2026 along with some other information. On May 8, PewDiePie\u2019s Twitch account was suddenly banned, with no information available at first glance for fans to glean a reason for the mysterious suspension. PewDiePie himself was also quiet as to the reason for his ban, which was lifted a mere three days later. And, according to the YouTuber, he doesn\u2019t even know why he was banned\u2026 although he speculated it may have had to do with his content from 2017. PewDiePie admits he doesn\u2019t know why Twitch channel was banned \u201cIt\u2019s really cool, because Twitch \u2014 just like YouTube \u2014 doesn\u2019t say what made you banned, so I don\u2019t know,\u201d he said of the situation in a May 25 YouTube video. \u201cI probably shouldn\u2019t have been streaming the videos from 2017, but hey. It was a weird time.\u201d Kjellberg also addressed the reason why he started streaming his old videos 24\/7 on Twitch, saying he was doing it as an experiment and creating a fun opportunity for his fans to connect over his content. \u201cEveryone thought I was hacked first, because we were doing a 24\/7 live stream on Twitch just for fun. I thought it could be a good way to make people have the chat and watch videos together, and it\u2019s there if people want it.\u201d (Topic begins at 4:48) Luckily for fans, PewDiePie\u2019s Twitch channel has been back up and running for about two weeks now. This is just the latest news to come from PewDiePie after fans were convinced they\u2019d figured out the gender of his unborn baby due to some subtle clues in his last vlog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
