The streamer had his live stream interrupted midway due to the playing of copyrighted music for just a few seconds. More than 25,000 fans witnessed the debacle.

He stated that the copyright rules Twitch had in place were much more stringent than that of YouTube Gaming. Now, considering the fact that he was banned from YouTube a mere 2 days after shifting, one can’t deny the irony of the situation.
