Twitch suspends LeafyIsHere\u2019s channel after YouTube ban YouTube: LeafyIsHere[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]Longtime YouTuber-turned-Twitch streamer has had his account now banned by both platforms, with Twitch revealing in a statement per esports insider Rod Breslau that they have permanently suspended his channel. While Leafy was once hailed as one of YouTube\u2019s most notorious commentary channels, he took an extended hiatus from the platform, returning with a vengeance in 2020 to acclaim from his fans. However, he found himself faced with criticism and speculation after uploading multiple videos targeting Twitch streamer \u2018Pokimane\u2019 \u2014 and he didn\u2019t stop, threatening to continue uploading such content until YouTube gave him the boot. YouTube finally did just that shortly thereafter, causing Leafy to find a new home on Twitch, where he continued to apparently \u201cbait\u201d bans by using offensive language. It seems that his behavior has finally caught up to him, as Twitch has now handed out a permanent suspension to the streamer, which was reported by Rod Breslau via Twitter. A statement given to Rod claims that Twitch had banned Leafy for \u201cthe safety of the community,\u201d writing: \u201cWe reserve the right to suspend any account for conduct that violates our rules, or that we determine to be inappropriate, harmful, or puts our community at risk.\u201d Twitch has suspended Leafy’s channel. a Twitch spokesperson has sent me the following statement indicating it is for the safety of the community. pic.twitter.com\/N4Qqxjpyv7 \u2014 Rod Breslau (@Slasher) September 11, 2020 As the ban is permanent, it doesn\u2019t seem that Leafy will be making his return to Twitch at all \u2014 but he is reaching out to the platform for help, claiming that he wasn\u2019t notified of an incoming ban and arguing that a permanent suspension is a bit egregious for his \u201cfirst offense.\u201d \u201cWtf Bezos, just when i started having fun,\u201d he said of the situation. \u201cTwitch Support \u2013 is there any appealing this, was my first offense bro lmfao.\u201d \u201cThought there would be a warning first or something,\u201d he continued. \u201cI mean it was obvious I was pushing it, but still was being somewhat mindful of TOS.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/Leafy\/status\/1304554417723711490?s=20 Fans and critics alike are divided as to the Twitch\u2019s surprising ruling, with many comparing it to Leafy\u2019s last ban from YouTube, which he similarly argued was out of order due to purportedly never having received a warning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
