KSI reveals Twitch is removing him as a partner after not having streamed since 2013

Popular UK-based YouTuber, musician, and boxer JJ "KSI" tweeted a picture of an unexpected notification from Twitch on June 9. He was informed that his Twitch channel would soon lose its Partner status. For those wondering, he hasn't live-streamed in approximately ten years. The last livestream on the channel, which is still available to view, featured him playing FIFA 13.

KSI received an email stating that his Partner status on Twitch would be terminated due to the implementation of the new Monetized Streamer Agreement. Being a Twitch Partner involves meeting specific criteria, including streaming for at least 25 hours in the past 30 days. In comparison, JJ has about two hours in 10 years.
