Chudlogic, a prominent member of the Twitch community, has announced that he has been temporarily suspended from the platform. Tweeting about the situation earlier today, he revealed that he would not be able to livestream for the next three days. Initially, the reason behind his suspension was unclear.

He further revealed that he will be streaming on YouTube until the suspension period ends:
He shared his thoughts about the situation on his YouTube stream:
“Honestly, I’ll take the L because it’s a rule and I’m supposed to follow it but it’s crazy to me that Twitch is still enforcing this moderation. It’s honestly unrealistic to me.”
Having said this, he speculated:
“Well, there are a few people I’ve seen who are banned. Is Sam Hyde banned? It’s probably Destiny. But generally, I try to be quite careful and only play for 30 minutes at a time.” Watch banned streamers for hours and any big chunks, I’ll deal with it on YouTube.”
Prior to his ban, Chudlogic had accumulated over 25K followers on Twitch. For those unfamiliar with the online personality, he typically streams his reactions to various dramatic situations and controversies on the platform, offering his own perspectives and analyzing them for his audience to enjoy.

Chudlogic has already livestreamed on YouTube after being banned on Twitch, but it is currently uncertain whether he will appeal against the ban.
