Twitch Bans JustAMinx: Popular Streamer Receives Account Suspension
JustAMinx, one of the biggest streamers on Twitch with almost 2 million followers, has been banned from the platform for seven days. The ban comes after a live stream where JustAMinx was visibly intoxicated and broke Twitch’s rules on being “incapacitated on stream.” This is not JustAMinx’s first ban from the platform, as she was previously banned in February 2022 for using a “derogatory slur” on stream.
Twitch’s History of Bans
Twitch has a history of giving streamers multiple chances before handing out a permanent ban. Even high-profile streamers like Mizkif and Adin Ross have been banned multiple times from the platform. However, it is rare for huge creators to receive permanent bans, especially with the emergence of up-and-coming competitor Kick. Twitch’s domination of the live-streaming field remains strong, with popular streamers still flocking to the platform.
JustAMinx’s Other Bans
JustAMinx’s history of bans does not just stop at Twitch. Late last year, she was banned from using Airbnb after claiming to discover a drug den underneath her rented house. She was also removed from TikTok three times in one month due to mass reports. Hopefully, this most recent ban from Twitch will be the last.
Potential Impact on JustAMinx’s Content
While JustAMinx’s Twitch ban is only for seven days, she will be unable to take part in promotional activity for 90 days. It’s expected that her content could continue on her YouTube channel, which has over 700,000 followers until the Twitch ban is lifted.
Twitch’s recent ban of JustAMinx is just the latest example of the platform’s efforts to clean up drama and enforce its rules. While Twitch’s domination of the live-streaming field remains strong, competitors like Kick are emerging, and it remains to be seen how successful they can truly be. With popular streamers still flocking to Twitch, it seems the platform will continue to be the go-to destination for live streaming.
