On December 15, 2023, popular Twitch streamer Dennis "PaymoneyWubby" got banned from the platform for the fifth time. The incident occurred a day after he reviewed explicit Twitch livestreams following the announcement of new adult content guidelines. PaymoneyWubby took to X soon after the ban and revealed that he had been suspended from Twitch for seven days.
He wrote:
"Seven-day ban and I'm a danger to children across America. I should have just shown my whole a**hole and taken the three-day instead..."
The content creator also shared a screenshot of an official email from the Amazon-owned platform, which stated that he had been suspended on the grounds of being "Youth Risky." An excerpt from the email reads:
"Reason: Youth Risky. We have removed your content as it includes elements that could put you or someone else at risk. This includes content that could encourage inappropriate attention towards people under 18. To keep our community safe, we publish our Community Guidelines, which include rules about content that endangers the safety of youth."
