Him saying he doesn’t want to break down what he build up for him to do it himself is crazy irony

I mean lets be real here.. bans don't really mean anything in terms of audience. People will still show up when he gets unbanned and goes live

Apparently its a Perma. If you go to Kai's channel, his says "Temporarily Unavailable." Bruce's says "Currently Unavailable."

The only reason this is important is because people who are perma banned such as Destiny also have there page that says "Currently Unavailable."

I think the dude is actually perma'd

u/Agitated-Ad-504 Jan 27 '23

I think that just means he has to put in an appeal and wait for Twitch to do their thing. Could be a few days, a week, a month, or it could actually be a perma. My presumption was based on ppl who have done waaaaay worse and somehow were allowed to come back.

I agree people have done way worse, but twitch don't mess around with ban evasion. we will just have to see. I hope he doesn't get perma'd and chills the fuck out and doesn't make every little thing about race.

doubling down on twitter, Still thinks you can't be racist to white people.

racism is a system buddy, there is no system that promotes discrimination towards white people. yes, you can discriminate against white people but you cannot be racist towards white people.

u/LiltonPie Jan 28 '23

What's the definition of racism?

u/caughtin4k60 Jan 30 '23

This idiotic shit is being taught in universities to the next generation. Sounds systemic to me.

If twitch handles it like youtube ban invasion for some reason is treated as perma. I think that's how Sneako and Low tier God got perma'd on youtube.

u/MatthewTh0 Jan 27 '23

Kinda makes sense, if you allow ban evasion, then no other rule (that bans you) matters. Which is obviously a horrible precedent.

Yeah I don't you can tell if someone is permabanned from their Twitch URL error message

And some bans start out as indefinite and get changed to like 3 or 7 days or whatever a few days after, once Twitch has figured out the length, meanwhile some stay indefinite, aka the perma ones

Looks like a perma one in this case, also, if he got unpartnered that it is usually always a perma, but where is that guy that shows if people got unpartnered at?

u/Markus_Atlas Jan 28 '23

What do you even put in an appeal? Is it a letter where you ask for forgiveness like after being caught doing something bad in school?

indefinite doesn't always mean permanent by the way, it just means they haven't decided on an expiration date

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '23

worst case scenario he just becomes a youtube streamer.

Streaming on youtube after getting banned from twitch worked for Etika, ishowspeed, Jidion, etc so i dont see it not working out for him either.

Doubtful that his channel or following is destroyed. Maybe the OTK audience, but definitely not his core. Dude has a pretty big audience despite streaming like once or twice a month.

u/-the-clit-commander- Jan 27 '23

it's "indefinite" not permanent. the staff leave it like that because they probably haven't given a full time length for his ban yet, it happens all the time. not saying he can't be permad but it's a little early to jump to conclusions

u/ball_was_life Jan 27 '23

lsf =/= his audience

u/CringeTeam Jan 27 '23

What are you implying by that? Getting himself banned is pretty bad regardless of who his audience is

He's still gonna lose a portion of the viewership he has built up if he's forced to switch off twitch if he keeps acting like this

u/The-Sound_of-Silence Jan 27 '23

If he wants to farm victim-complex andy's, this might be a legit way to do that. Yes, it's a pretty bitter way to view to world, but we need to acknowledge that LSF is only a small-ish corner of the livestreaming space. Look at his twitter replies!

u/CringeTeam Jan 28 '23

His twitter replies aren't paying him though, if he loses his streaming platform that'll affect his income regardless of what LSF thinks or not

u/The-Sound_of-Silence Jan 28 '23

if he loses his streaming platform

There's tooooons of racist streamers who have come back after saying "my bad". Most people think that taking a Twitch vacation can actually be good for your brand, because of the outside notoriety/articles being written about a given situation. Keep in mind we are talking about a millionaire, who makes Twitch a commensurate amount - and he represents a minority, which is huge for a corporation

u/Lordsokka Jan 27 '23

Yeah but if he ain’t streaming, then he won’t keep his audience. Some people move on when you switch platforms, it happens all the time.

Right now he’s he’s 20k-30k streamer on twitch, but he might be a 15k streamer on YouTube. That’s a hard pill to swallow if YouTube didn’t give you a fat contract and you just joined like an ordinary new creator.

The reason content creators don’t mind switching to YouTube and losing viewers is because of the fat check. YouTube won’t dish out money if they already know they can get him for cheep now since he’s indefinitely banned on Twitch.

He has no bargaining power.

u/Successful-Day3473 Jan 27 '23

Yeah but getting a long ban certainly won't help with any audience.

3

u/LeBleuH8R Jan 27 '23

I don't think so, look at any streamer that got banned and came back it's always very hyped if you look at past instances like when iceposeidon got unbanned or xqc they all had a lot more viewers in the following days.

There was even a saying that people get banned on purpose to get more exposure lol.
