"Probably because he watched the Gross Gore video" - Community speculates on the plausible reason for Mizkif's Twitch ban

In an email screenshot shared by Mizkif, Twitch issued a Community Guidelines strike on the streamer's account after he "aided account suspension evasion." The platform explained:

"Enabling another person to evade an account suspension by featuring them on their content on your content for a prolonged time."

Twitch also provided examples of "violative conduct," which included:

"Watching a suspended person's content on stream for a prolonged time. Inviting a suspended person into your multiplayer game on stream. Featuring a suspended person prominently on your panels, images, overlays, etc."

The update went viral on social media platforms, such as Reddit and Twitter, with the community on the former speculating on the possible cause.

Redditor u/throwawaybyebye recalled Mizkif watching a video featuring banned Twitch streamer Ali "Gross Gore." The Redditor claimed that the Austin, Texas-based personality "confirmed" that he was banned because of watching the aforementioned content. They said:

"Probably because he watched the Gross Gore video. Which was hyper s*xual and he's also banned. But I thought others watched it so idk (I don't know). Edit: Miz confirmed it was Gross Gore video but I still could've sworn others watched it with no ban."

Redditor u/DonJonSkrrt shared a tweet by Twitter user @IsMizGoingLive, claiming that the One True King (OTK) co-founder was due to serve a day-long suspension:

"It’s because of Gross Gore 24 hour lawl."
