Beahm shared his version of events on Twitter on Tuesday, saying that while he has been legally bound from discussing the matter, former Twitch employees sharing the incident on social media and discussing it with reporters had allowed him to now share his “side of the story.” The man behind the Dr Disrespect persona with millions of followers said he was banned from Twitch in 2020 over a 2017 exchange with an “individual” that sometimes “leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.” He edited the word “minor” out of the initial version of the statement before adding it back in later after people noticed. According to Beahm, no criminal charges were ever filed.
I agree that this is a wider problem with streams. I think the main problem is that starting a stream and talking about whatever in order to appeal to a larger and larger audience is rewarded rather than good research and preparing high quality content, like on YT or TikTok.
It’s just not possible when you’re streaming and would deat the purpose. It’s all quantity over quality, so assholes get to the top.
TicTok is a 99% low quality garbage too, on top of being a data hording machine for China. YouTube isn’t any better nowadays either, it’s all just clickbait garbage and real life vlog type shit.
Frankly, the internet was better when it was mostly nerds filling it. But I suppose now that it is mainstream, it is just a mirror of society.
