Dr. Disrespect Returns To YouTube Streaming With A New Explanation For His Ban

Dr. Disrespect, the popular streamer who was banned from Twitch in June 2020, has returned to YouTube streaming.

In a new video posted to his YouTube channel, Dr. Disrespect said that he was banned from Twitch for "false and defamatory statements" that he made about the platform.

Dr. Disrespect did not provide any specifics about what statements he made that led to his ban, but he said that he believes the ban was "unfair" and that he is "innocent of any wrongdoing."

Dr. Disrespect also said that he is "excited" to be back on YouTube and that he is "looking forward to building a new community" on the platform.

Dr. Disrespect's return to streaming is a major coup for YouTube, which has been trying to attract more top streamers to its platform.

In recent months, YouTube has signed exclusive streaming deals with a number of popular streamers, including Valkyrae, TimTheTatman, and Ludwig.

Dr. Disrespect's ban from Twitch was a major blow to the platform, which has been struggling to retain top talent.

In the months since Dr. Disrespect's ban, a number of other popular streamers have also left Twitch for YouTube, including Shroud, Ninja, and CouRageJD.

It remains to be seen whether Dr. Disrespect's return to streaming will help to stem the tide of streamers leaving Twitch, but it is a clear sign that YouTube is making a serious push to become the dominant platform for streaming.
