While it has not been confirmed, 100 Thieves ‘Classy’ theorized that it could be due to DMCA takedown issues which has recently plagued streamers on the platform.

“Just saw @drdisrespect is banned on Twitch. Including the fact he hasn’t done anything recently, can only assume it was a DMCA related ban?? If so…. We’re all so f**ked, he tweeted.

Personalities such as ‘Fuslie’ and JakeNBake were given multiple strikes earlier in the month for playing licensed music during broadcast dating back to 2017.

This isn’t the first time the Two-Time has found himself in hot water with Twitch. In June 2019, he was in the middle of an IRL stream at popular gaming convention E3, when his cameraman accidentally followed him into a public bathroom.

The Amazon-owned company took the broadcast down, and gave Dr Disrespect a 30-day ban. Guy Beahm who portrays the larger than life character, issued an apology on his personal account stating, “We wanted to capture an adventure, unfortunately we took that adventure into the wrongs areas unaware of the legalities surrounding it.”
