YouTube banned Lazarbeam for a week due to a strike on his channel. Apparently, he reviewed a Tik-Tok video that was against the child safety norms of the platform. According to Lazarbeam, none of the children were actually harmed in the video and he is unsure if “this punishment fits the crime.”

Luckily, this is the only strike on his channel as with three strikes, YouTube permanently deletes the creator’s channel. The banned YouTuber then posted a video on his second channel, explaining his absence to the fans.

Lazarbeam has a long history with bans on YouTube and Fortnite

Earlier this year in August, YouTube banned the Australian due to a copyright strike. Surprisingly, this strike was for a three-year-old video.  In a lot of cases, these copyright strikes are actually very vague and based on shaky grounds. Big YouTubers often complain about it, but the real sufferers are small content creators who lose a lot of revenue due to such strikes.

The streamer is known for his satirical sense of humor, but he also gets in a lot of trouble because of it. A few months back, he was pranking fellow YouTuber MrFreshAsian with a bunch of players. It was a hilarious stream-snipe prank in a solo Fortnite match, but Epic Games didn’t really take the joke. Consequently, they banned him mid-game.

All in all, Lazarbeam is a veteran in dealing with bans. Fans are looking forward to his return and hope that something epic comes along with him.
