Twitch Accused Of Hypocrisy

Earlier this January, the small twitch streamer AverageHarry applied for twitch partnership. After waiting for 72 days, his twitch partnership was denied as twitch discovered that he allegedly signed up while under the age of 13. Things became even worse on January 23rd when he tweeted out and claimed that twitch got him permanently banned because of signing up while under the age of 13 years old.

He was allowed to make another account, but he lost the nearly 90k followers of his from his twitch channel because of the ban. Because of this, some twitch users have been voicing out their concern as they have been noticing some inconsistencies in Twitch’s decision to ban Harry. Some claimed that there are some big twitch streamers that got millions of followers on the platform but also made their account when they were under 13 years old but didn’t get a permanent ban. A user pointed out about the now popular 16 year old twitch streamer TommyInnit. TommyInnit was said to open his account when he was 11 years of age, however, he did not face the same issue as Harry. The user called it “gross hypocrisy” from Twitch. Another user from twitter listed out some big twitch streamers who had their accounts when they were under 13 years old.

The user wrote; “No way Twitch will actually do this. Age when account created: Bugha (3.8M followers) – 12 years old Benjyfishy (2.8M followers) – 10 years old Mongraal (3.8M followers) – 12 years old Fresh (3.9M followers) – 10 years old TommyInnit (3.3M followers) – 11 years old”. Now, Fans of Harry are looking to Twitch for answers regarding the confusing situation.
