‘Goodbye, Says IShowSpeed: Youtube Stream Sparks Controversy and Ban’

Controversial YouTuber IShowSpeed Claims Ban Despite Active Channel

Popular YouTube streamer IShowSpeed has made a shocking claim of being banned, even though his channel is still active.

In a mysterious Instagram story, IShowSpeed shared an image with the text ‘I’m banned guys goodbye’. However, he did not specify which platform he was banned from. Interestingly, his YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter accounts are still accessible.

Given IShowSpeed’s controversial content and penchant for shock value, it is unlikely that he has been banned. As Jake Lucky reported, the streamer received a community strike and one of his videos, in which he played an adult version of Minecraft, was removed.

Over the past few months, IShowSpeed has engaged in various polarizing behaviors during his streams. This includes ranting in VALORANT games, setting off fireworks in his room, and yelling directly into his dog’s ear. Consequently, he has gained notoriety within the streaming community.

His unpredictable and erratic demeanor has attracted a large following. With 9.97 million subscribers on YouTube, each of his videos easily garners over 1 million views.

It is unclear whether IShowSpeed is deliberately lying about the ban or simply misunderstood his recent community strike. Nevertheless, his fans eagerly await an update from the livestreamer.
