No matter the popularity, the number of followers or if your live shows break all records, the rules are clear and you can be banned from Twitch at any time if the channel does not follow the rules of the , something that Ibai Llanos verified for the third time this week.
The case of Ibai Llanos: the “bald man” who cost him a ban on Twitch
Over the weekend Ibai was broadcasting a battle of roosters when suddenly one of his guests made a “bald”, that is, he showed his butt during a rhyme, and despite the fact that Ibai tried to avoid it because he knew that he could be banned from Twitch, the damage has already been done.
Well, the one who was on the live could already see it. During the battles of the weekend one of the kids showed his ass in a bald rhyme. He desperately yelled “NOOOO” as he turned around but I couldn’t help it.
Tomorrow L-Ghent was coming home
I’m a wretch

For Ibai, the worst nightmare was that he did not know how long he was going to be banned from Twitch and this Wednesday he planned to invite the Argentine cumbia singer L-Gante. for your fortune your channel has been restored and you were able to stream normally, however, this is a clear warning about how it is that, regardless of whether the fault has come from the presenter or his guests, the criteria established by the platform apply to everyone, without exception.
The three times I have been banned have been for three things totally external to me.
There is no context, people have the power to ban you on Twitch if they get the hell out of it. Be careful who you invite to your channels.
This is the jungle. take care 😎😎😎
