Dr Disrespect Is Now Streaming On YouTube, Claims He Doesn't Know Why Twitch Banned Him

Streamer Dr Disrespect has hopped over to YouTube, following his unceremonious banning from Twitch.

High-profile Twitch streamer Herschel "Guy" Beahm IV (better known as DrDisrespect) has been banned from the livestreaming platform yet again.

It's unclear exactly why or how long DrDisrespect will be banned. DrDisrespect has not said anything publicly about the situation, and searching for his Twitch account pulls no results.

Dr Disrespect Permanently Banned From Twitch

Dr Disrespect has seemingly been banned from Twitch again.

screenrant.com

The ban was reported by StreamerBans, a Twitter account that reports on when partnered Twitch streamers are banned from the platform. DrDisresepct was banned at 3:01 p.m. with his channel being removed from Twitch. While the reason for the ban remains unknown at this time, 100T Classy tweeted that the ban could be the result of a DMCA takedown. DrDisrespect has yet to comment on the ban.

what is a DMCA takedown?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

He should have just thrown a pet across the room on stream that seems to be okay.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Didn't he just recently re-sign with Twitch?

 

[-MD-]

There goes any reason to watch Twitch.

 

[Sub_Level]

what is a DMCA takedown?

Copyright claim for using certain music or video.

 

[johntown]

I really don't get what the appeal is of this guy anyway.

Your balls have probably dropped.

 

[Stuart360]

I bet its DMCA related. Its weird though as i'm sure he gets permission to use copyrighted music.

I'm not a gigantic fan, but much like all things, different strokes for different folks.

what is a DMCA takedown?

It's a wrestling move.

He doesn't have tits though.

 

[Bryank75]

Twitch has to be managed by some of the most stupid and indoctrinated tools....

 

[GymWolf]

It's a wrestling move.

oh, i was thinking about some mma move...

 

[M.W.]

It's a perma ban fyi

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

His schtick was 1990s era WWF wrestler promo guy but he was so bad at it. Absolutely no charisma.

It's a perma ban fyi

[Birdo]

He could always switch to mixe-....... Nevermind.

 

[M.W.]

 

[EviLore]

Permanently? ...

 

[Stuart360]

If its permabanned, its def abuse related. No way would Twitch ban him for anything else. And as someone else said, you get your account wiped when permabanned, including emotes.

Emotes stay until the sub expires.

 

[hemo memo]

Maybe contract related?

 

[GHG]

Imagine being the company who goes up against Twitch and having to shut down because you failed to capitalise on their draconian ways.

Imagine.

 

[Stuart360]

Man just as he's being done a month of charity streams, and has raised over 100k so far.
I hope its not just SJW's damanding him gone because of his character.

 

[Barakov]

This whole thing stinks.

 

[spawn]

Maybe now he signs with Youtube gaming?

 

[Stuart360]

If true, i hope he goes to Youtube, and not Facebook (assuming its not abuse related of course).

 

[Kittehkraken]

Doc would have no problem streaming on his Youtube channel.

Unless hes got some kind of scandal that's about to drop.

 

[Jill Valentine]

Didn't he just sign that multi year contract for millions? Are they cancelling it somehow? Buy Ninja/Shroud instead? The timing is suspect.

 

[Bladed Thesis]

If true, i hope he goes to Youtube, and not Facebook (assuming its not abuse related of course).

He wouldn't go to Facebook.

 

[bender]

There is always Mixer.

 

[nani17]

But he's the two time back to back

 

[EviLore]

Tesseract

 

[48086]

He probably said wrong think.

 

[Rikoi]

This is weird, millions of people followed him just because of his attitude, need to know what he was banned for

 

[Rentahamster]

I wonder what happened.

 

[Tesseract]

what the fuck, need details right now

nobody messes with doc

 

[Skyr]

Maybe he signed a multi million deal with facebook gaming?

Yeah I seriously doubt that this is permanent..

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

If they 'banned him permanently' he's probably already told them he's leaving.

 

[Great Hair]

Screaming like a pre-teen while streaming sumtin.

Why do people like watching others play their promoted mmo-games? I get that there are quite a few xboners watching TLOU2 right now, because they cant be bothered ... but why watch someone play a multiplayer game like counterstrike? or what ever he used to play between his pee breaks.

Makes no sense.

"Woah, that 360º no scope head shot barefoot111!! Would you look at that!" ... and let´s not start with those 30,000 "chat zombies" spamming emotes for hours.

Not as annoying as that blue smurf.

 

[Jill Valentine]

He probably said wrong think.

It was a big surprise they gave a contract to someone whose entire persona is not aligned with marxist politics. Yanno, the Chinese Destroyer.

Lol, they've said he violated their guidelines. No way they would lie to get out of a contract, they'd get their pants sued off

 

[Andodalf]

Or not

 

[Pallas]

Tesseract

Tesseract is Dr Disrespect, confirmed.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Didn't they fuck with Ninja after he left?

I can't believe I know about this shit. I've never even watched Twitch. This is all of your fault.

 

[nush]

It's a perma ban fyi

I'd wait for another source other than this tool.
