Dr Disrespect Makes His Debut on YouTube, Garnering Massive Viewership
After streaming a static screen of a gas station for about 24 hours, Dr Disrespect finally made his first appearance on YouTube today.
Over 10,000 viewers patiently waited for the Doc’s stream, with the viewership surpassing 300,000 yesterday afternoon when the channel went live.
Delayed Arrival and Excitement
Despite the delay of an hour from the originally announced time, tens of thousands of fans eagerly awaited the Doc’s arrival at 2pm CT, only to find a countdown on stream for a new start time of 3pm CT. As the countdown ended, the viewer count soared past 400,000.
Funny Skit and Puzzling Ban
The Doc entertained viewers with a skit, pretending he didn’t know he was live or how to stream on YouTube. Following this, a new highlight reel played before the Doc made his usual introduction.
During the stream, the Doc expressed confusion about his ban from Twitch, claiming he still doesn’t know the reason behind it.
“As far as I’m concerned, we didn’t do anything to warrant a ban, let alone how they went about banning us,” he said. “No communication before, no reaching out, nothing. Boom. Done.”
Fans flocked to the stream, hoping for an explanation about the ban, causing viewership to peak at almost 510,000. However, as the Doc admitted he had no knowledge of the reasoning, the view count started to decline.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his ban, donations and YouTube memberships (equivalent to Twitch subscribers) have been pouring in consistently since Doc’s stream went live yesterday, and the support hasn’t waned since his appearance on stream today.
This marks the Doc’s first public appearance since his final broadcast on June 26, the day he was banned from Twitch.
