Streamer under fire after threatening viewers with bans if they don\u2019t subscribe Gross Gore, Twitter \/ KnowYourMemeAs livestreaming platforms like Twitch grow ever more popular, viewers are given increasingly advanced ways to support their favorite streamers \u2013 but some broadcasters require more than a mere follow. Twitch allows fans to show their support through follows, cheers, bits, and subscription tiers, with Twitch Prime allowing Amazon Prime subscribers one free subscription per month for Affiliated channels. However, regular subscriptions come at a price, depending on the tier, with many fans opting to merely follow their favorite streamers to save on cash \u2013 but one streamer requires more from his fanbase. Controversial streamer Gross Gore announced an unusual plan to his fans in his Discord channel in early July, claiming that he would give his followers one month to subscribe to his channel before ultimately hitting them with the ban hammer. \u201cOnce I can start streaming again, I\u2019m giving my followers one month to subscribe or I\u2019m banning them,\u201d a screenshot from his Discord channel shows. \u201cMoobot has got me a bot that will do it automatically. I don\u2019t want toxic people following me or getting gifted subs and typing in chat.\u201d While it seems like Gross Gore is going forward with his plan as a means to weed out the riffraff, commenters across the web aren\u2019t buying his story, with some arguing that he is trying to \u201cstrongarm his viewer base into subbing.\u201d \u201cHow to commit career suicide,\u201d one user wrote of the debacle. \u201c\u2026We all know he is just destroying his own \u2018career,\u2019 if you still call it that, with the amount of viewers he is getting,\u201d another said. \u201cJust let him do this and he\u2019ll find out what he is doing lol. Giving him two months, max.\u201d Gross Gore is known as a controversial figure across sites like Reddit and Twitch, after being accused of multiple counts of sexual harassment at RuneFest 2018.
