So you are either being banned or being paid millions of dollars? That thought is both funny and kind of sad.
Streamers DrLupo, TimTheTatman, and Lirik are some of Twitch’s biggest stars — and they have just officially signed exclusive deals with the platform. Ben “DrLupo” Lupo, Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar, and Saqib “Lirik” Zahid have a combined 10.36 million followers on Twitch, and each regularly draws thousands of concurrent viewers.
I can not find a list of permanently banned Twitch Streamers, but I know they are out there.
For example, back in November of 2019:
Misfits Gaming’s Fortnite pro Cody “Clix” Conrod tweeted last that he received a seven-day suspension from Twitch after playing with “Zayn” on his stream.
Zayn is permanently banned from streaming on Twitch due to his evasion of a stream suspension for another offense. And a player can’t be on stream with someone else who’s banned from the platform, according to Twitch’s rules.
Obviously some of the bans are understandable. “No streamer. You should not drive while streaming a game, shaving, and playing with your dick. That is not allowed.” I just made that up. That would be funny though. And totally serious and deadly. Do not do that.
Okay, so back to the money …
The reason that Amazon’s twitch is locking down some streamers to exclusive deals and paying them big bucks is they do not want those streamers to jump ship to other platforms–“while not driving, game playing, not shaving, and not playing with their dicks.” They seriously hated losing Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek.
Note, that as far as I know, there has been no confirmation of the exact amount that the players were paid to remain exclusive to twitch. Sources have suggested the contracts were for multi-million dollar deals.
