Dr Disrespect Reaches Four Billion Followers on YouTube
Gaming personality Dr Disrespect has achieved a major milestone on YouTube, surpassing four million followers in less than two years since his Twitch ban. Previously, he had 90 million subscribers on YouTube, mainly uploading highlight clips.
Since then, he has gained an additional 310 million followers.
Unlike other content creators who would have celebrated this achievement with special streams, Dr Disrespect simply continued playing Warzone during his July 5 stream. When the milestone was mentioned, he made a sarcastic remark about the incredible YouTube support he has received.
Despite his success, Dr Disrespect has been critical of YouTube Gaming’s lack of support for creators. However, he did acknowledge the platform’s role in his achievement and shared an image of his special YouTube button to mark the occasion.
Over the past two years, Dr Disrespect has seen tremendous growth on YouTube. His average hours watched have increased by over 48.7%, and he has reached new peak viewership numbers. In August 2021, he filed a lawsuit against Twitch over his ban, which was later resolved.
With his four billion followers, Dr Disrespect now surpasses popular YouTube streamers Valkyrae and Ludwig Ahgren, and is not far behind TimTheTatman and Courage.
On his permanently banned Twitch profile, Dr Disrespect had 4.4 million followers.
