PewDiePie, a renowned YouTube content creator, has faced a second ban from Twitch. Throughout his career, he has gained immense popularity through his YouTube videos and livestreams. Although currently on a hiatus, his Twitch channel has been featuring re-runs of his previous record-breaking streams. PewDiePie's absence is due to his recent celebration of the birth of his son, Bjorn, and it is unlikely that he will make a comeback on YouTube, Twitch, or any other platform in the near future. Consequently, viewers who have been tuning into his Twitch channel to pass the time until his return will be disappointed to discover that his channel has been banned once again.
PewDiePie was banned from Twitch on Monday, July 17, without any given reason. The exact duration of this ban is unknown and could last for an extended period of time. The restoration of PewDiePie's Twitch channel is uncertain, and only when it is back will his fans be informed.
This is not the first time PewDiePie has faced a ban on Twitch. In May, he was banned for approximately three days. Speculation circulated that his channel had been hacked, but PewDiePie himself admitted to being unsure of the reason behind the ban. Twitch has faced criticism for its lack of transparency when banning streamers, leaving fans with a limited understanding of this recent ban on PewDiePie's Twitch channel.
It will be intriguing to see if PewDiePie chooses to explore platforms other than Twitch when he resumes content creation. Kick, Twitch's main streaming competitor, has been actively recruiting popular streamers by offering them contracts to stream on their platform. While it's possible for Kick to attempt to secure a streaming deal with PewDiePie, similar to what they did with xQc and other streamers, there is currently no indication that such a deal is in the works.
