Yabbe, a popular variety streamer on Twitch, has recently been banned from the platform under mysterious circumstances. Fans of the streamer are left wondering why Twitch took such action against her. Yabbe is well-known for her engaging gaming and Just Chatting streams, and has also gained a following on her YouTube channel where she shares highlights from her Twitch streams. However, she has also faced some controversies on the platform in the past, including calling out another Twitch streamer for running a cat mill, as well as having a dispute with OTK member Mizkif over a comment he made about her.
Yabbe's ban from Twitch was announced on June 3rd by Twitter account StreamerBans. Neither Twitch nor Yabbe provided an explanation for the ban, but Yabbe seemed to take it lightly, posting a message about "leaving" on Twitch as a joke and uploading a YouTube video reacting to her old clips. The Livestream Fail subreddit was abuzz with speculation about the ban, with some claiming Yabbe had typed "all men should die" on her offline Twitch chat while allegedly drunk. Reddit user NightStickSteve even shared Yabbe's Twitch chat log before the ban. However, Yabbe's boyfriend and fellow streamer NymN explained that Yabbe had typed the phrase in an attempt to figure out why some of her viewers were getting banned in chat, as Twitch viewers are typically banned for posting hateful and offensive messages.
The silence from Yabbe and Twitch regarding the ban has left many speculating. Twitch's policies allow for streamers to be banned or suspended for various reasons, ranging from copyright infringement to harassment. However, concerns have been raised about the fairness of the platform's automatic ban system, which can result in streamers losing their revenue without a clear understanding of what they did wrong. Fortunately, banned or suspended streamers can appeal to Twitch to have their account reinstated, but the process can be lengthy, lasting anywhere from a few hours to several months or even years. Some streamers have resorted to creating a second Twitch account to continue streaming to their followers while serving out their initial sanction. With any luck, Yabbe's return to Twitch won't be too far off.
