Twitch vs Kick drama: Trainwreck's sudden ban and quick unban during major rust event

[ericM]

soo Train gets banned mid-rust event (nov 9) for "spam", aka having Kick link in title? Same title he's had forever? Then gets unbanned in less than 24hrs after twitter meltdown. During a 10-day event with Blue Gem AK giveaway... Twitch really trying to speedrun creator exodus

As legal consultant for creators - this sets dangerous precedent. No warning, instant ban during major sponsored event.

 

[Teri_Buchan]

Been in streaming scene 7+ years. Never seen platform act this aggressive against cross-promotion.

Wait, they killed his stream during that blue gem giveaway? staff needs to touch grass fr

 

[lilbill]

imagine having clean record since 2017, running massive event, then bam - banned for title

 

[Sagamax]

Most obvious targeted action I've ever seen. Train even said it wasn't automated.

 

[forkillla]

dam they really waited for peak viewership to hit that ban button huh

 

[damidoff]

can someone explain this kick vs twitch beef? been away from drama

can someone explain this kick vs twitch beef? been away from drama

long story but kick allows gambling streams + better rev split. twitch mad about losing viewers

 

[denjiikun]

his viewership was 100k+ when they cut stream. tinfoil hat time: they saw numbers and panicked

 

[Glideable]

Bro had that link in title for months. Why now? During biggest rust event with giveaway?

 

[g0Ids0undz]

this why creators need platform independence fr. one company shouldn't have this power

 

[EvE]

train moving mad numbers on rust lately. timing kinda suspicious ngl...

 

[timmy666]

yall see that email about "overlays, QR codes" etc? man literally just had text in title

 

[Sugarbear]

Working in analytics - his rust numbers were breaking records. Then poof banned

 

[Midgard]

How you gonna ban someone mid-sponsored-event with zero warning tho?

 

[TirionL]

remember when twitch said they want more transparency?

 

[Sarah]

watching chat when stream died was pure chaos lmaooo

 

[PoisonedThorn]

Here's what's wild - their own TOS talk about warnings first. Where was his warning?

 

[JoeMoneyToe]

whole situation proving exactly why kick exists tbh. twitch too trigger happy
