Shroud explains why he wouldn\u2019t care if he got a Twitch ban YouTube: Shroudy RowdyPopular streamer Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek has shared his interesting take on big streamers getting banned, saying that he probably wouldn\u2019t care if he were to be banned because \u201cit doesn\u2019t really do anything.\u201d Twitch streamer xQc was banned from Twitch for seven days after being accused of stream sniping in Twitch Rivals. He was also banned from Twitch Rivals events for six months and had to forfeit his GlitchCon prize money. But this most recent ban has got people thinking about how bans operate on Twitch more broadly, considering whether they actually have the desired effect on larger streamers. Shroud has said about xQc\u2019s ban specifically that \u201cI actually didn\u2019t think he was going to get banned. A lot of people were saying it was blown out of proportion. I think it was the opposite.\u201d But he also spoke about the effect of bans on huge streamers like Dr Disrespect, xQc and others, and claimed that a ban is actually not the worst thing in the world for big streamers. \u201cGetting banned doesn\u2019t mean anything,\u201d he began. \u201cDr Disrespect got banned for a month for streaming in a bathroom. He came back stronger than ever.\u201d He went on to explain that although he strives not to get banned, \u201cif I did get banned, would I really care though? Probably not, because getting banned doesn\u2019t really do anything. You take a little vacation, and you come back swinging.\u201d Topic starts at 0:55 \u201cIt\u2019s weird how getting banned for a big streamer is a best case scenario, which basically makes zero sense,\u201d he continued, before speaking on Twitch\u2019s rules. \u201cTwitch can\u2019t really change the rules of how someone gets banned based off their top streamers, it\u2019s not really fair. I\u2019m just happy they\u2019re keeping it consistent.\u201d It seems that the system intended to scold streamers actually ends up being better off for them, giving them a \u2018vacation\u2019 from streaming while knowing their follower base will be there waiting when they return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
