The Twitch ban of the popular streamer Dr Disrespect was perhaps one of the most significant incidents in the gaming and streaming industry in recent times. Twitch has by now become infamous for issuing bans and taking other steps against streamers without prior warning, and also for not providing any explanations oftentimes.
Recently, Doc faced some issues with Activision in terms of being an affiliated streamer for Call of Duty, and it might have something to do with his Twitch ban.

Here is what happened. Activision has removed Doc from the position of a Call of Duty partner. Moreover, he did not receive a Call of Duty creator code either. This is peculiar since other famous Call of Duty streamers, namely, Nickmercs, Timthetatman, Symfuhnny, etc, all have their personal creator codes.
Doc talked about this in his recent stream, where he referred to Twitch as “the purple platform.”
