Twitch streamer roasted after demanding platform gives stars paid sick leave Instagram: TheDanDangler \/ TwitchTwitch streamer Danyell \u2018TheDanDangler\u2019 Lanza has once again caught herself in a new wave of controversy after receiving a ban for watching a TV show on stream, then complaining about a lack of paid sick leave. The Twitch TV show meta took another name down on January 11. Following close behind industry juggernauts like Pokimane and Disguised Toast, TheDanDangler was blocked from the streaming platform for broadcasting copyrighted material to her viewers. While it wasn\u2019t for watching anime like the others, the American streamer was done for sharing full episodes of the History Channel\u2019s Forged in Fire reality series. Shortly after her ban came through, the divisive Twitch personality took to Twitter and quickly landed herself in more hot water. Claiming she was sick and not \u201cwell enough to entertain,\u201d TheDanDangler pointed the finger at Twitch for doing \u201cabsolutely nothing\u201d when it comes to \u201csick days or time off.\u201d Despite making money from other platforms like Patreon, the streamer was furious she could no longer earn on Twitch due to the self-inflicted ban. With a \u201c$4,000 vet bill to pay,\u201d she explained how she was \u201cso upset\u201d she wanted to \u201ccry in a ball.\u201d This comes just days after purchasing a new car and going on a holiday in the same month. Before deleting the post, TheDanDangler\u2019s outburst had exploded across social media. Hundreds chimed in as viewers and fellow streamers alike mocked her perspective.

You knew watching that show was against ToS and broke DMCA law. You also SHOULD know that you are SELF EMPLOYED. Streamers are not employees of twitch. \u2014 DougDagnabbit (@dougdagnabbit) January 11, 2022 \u201cI\u2019m crying you think Twitch should pay you,\u201d another response added. Meanwhile, others couldn\u2019t tell whether she was joking or \u201cactually [being] serious.\u201d The text itself even became a new \u2018copypasta\u2019 as well, with many popular streamers using it as a template to joke about the situation. Having since deleted the post and warned everyone to \u201cwatch what [they] say,\u201d TheDanDangler vowed to leave Twitter for good. \u201cI will no longer be posting on Twitter for what may be forever,\u201d she followed up. \u201cThe amount of bullying and hate this platform processes is not healthy for me or anyone.\u201d No stranger to Twitter controversy, this isn\u2019t the first time TheDanDangler has been the focal point of major backlash. The controversial Twitch personality most recently came under fire for splitting revenue during a charity stream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
