In a highly surprising and unexpected turn of events, Amazon-owned leading streaming platform Twitch has issued a ban on the well-known content creator and internet personality, PewDiePie. This move by Twitch is particularly significant given PewDiePie's massive following of over 111 million subscribers on YouTube and his status as one of the most successful and influential creators in the online space.PewDiePie's journey to stardom began when he started publishing Let's Play videos of various games on YouTube, sharing his reactions to action and horror games with millions of viewers worldwide. Although he had briefly streamed on Twitch and garnered over 1.5 million followers, his Twitch channel had been inactive for a couple of years. As a result, the online community was left stunned when, on March 21st, a peculiar video began streaming on PewDiePie's Twitch channel, featuring episodes of Trailer Park Boys. After rumors of a hack were debunked, PewDiePie's Twitch channel began broadcasting an endless loop of his old videos in a stream titled "PewDiePie Infinity." Given that the YouTuber had uploaded over 3,000 hours of content on his channel, this loop had more than enough material to engage curious viewers who could share their reactions on the channel's live chat. However, on May 9, Twitch announced a ban on PewDiePie's Twitch channel without providing any clear explanation, as it typically does.
