Twitch Streamer Destiny Possibly Losing Partnership for “encouraging violence”

Popular twitch streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell could be at risk of losing his partnership on Twitch after a recent stream in which he made comments that are being classified as “encouraging violence”, according to Dexerto.

Bonnell was banned back in May of this year for 24 hours due to “accidental nudity” that appeared in one of his videos, and was another strike against his channel. A lot of streamers are taking issues with Twitch TOS of late

Twitch’s policy is not to reveal details regarding the reason as to why a streamer is banned or suspended, but the community believes this clip is what contributed.

 

Per Dexerto, chat logs have surfaced with Destiny stating that “Twitch legal is emailing me telling me they’re revoking my Twitch partnership because of some unspecified ‘encouragement of violence’ using the platform.”

While nothing has been done at the time of this writing, it’s fair to assume that Destiny is at risk of losing his channel where he has over 500,000 followers.

 

 

The path to partner is challenging, and with the boom of influencer marketing, it is becoming more valuable to hit the verified checkmark on any platform you’re creating content on. For example. sometimes TikTok SEO can be right for your TikTok content, similarly to how Twitch SEO can help you on Twitch.

But given the TOS issues, it can be a marathon, not a sprint, in finding success.
