xQc explains why death threats and ToS stopped him hosting streamers xQcHosting is a fabulous feature on Twitch, as a way for bigger streamers to promote smaller channels. However, Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyell explained why death threats and fear of punishment means he no longer hosts other channels. Hosting is a major part of Twitch streaming. It used by individual streamers as well as organizations \u2013 for example, Riot Games will host the broadcast of a minor LoL region to boost their audience and exposure. The host feature sends viewers of any channel to another channel, boosting the recipients live viewership. In the past, hosting has also been a major part of boosting players\u2019 profiles. One of the most notable examples is FaZe Clan\u2019s Ew0k, who rose in popularity after being hosted by the likes of TimtheTatman and Mizkif. On stream, one viewer asked xQc why he doesn\u2019t host anyone, and he gave a fairly surprising explanation. xQc explains why he doesn\u2019t host anymore xQc explained how a combination of death threats and fears of breaking the Twitch Terms of Service (ToS) discourage him from hosting smaller channels. \u201cWhen I became a bigger streamer, I started getting a lot of backlash for hosting, and it made me feel bad,\u201d xQc said. \u201cThere\u2019s a couple of instances where I\u2019ve gotten death threats for hosting, because people said the community sucked and that I intoxicated their chats. \u201cThen they put a new ToS in where, if I host somebody, and viewers do something anti-ToS, that could get me into trouble.\u201d The Twitch community guidelines state: \u201cCreators are role models and leaders of the communities they create or foster around them. \u201cCreators should consider the consequences of their statements and actions of their audiences; we ask that you make a good faith effort to quell any efforts from those in your community to harass others. \u201cTwitch should not be used to incite, encourage, promote, facilitate, or organize hateful conduct or harassment, whether on or off Twitch. We will suspend communities, organizations, and individuals that do so.\u201d Several prominent steamers have picked up bans in the past for violating the Twitch ToS, notably Forsen and xQc himself, so it\u2019s not surprising he wants to steer clear of their wrath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
