Streaming maverick Dr Disrespect has poked fun at Twitch after the Amazon-owned platform changed their policy to allow content creators to stream on rival platforms—as long as it’s not done simultaneously. The two-time hasn’t forgiven his old site for banning him in June 2020, probably because it’s been upheld even after the lawsuit that ensued was settled two years later. So, he used the announcement as an opportunity to throw a jab at Twitch by flexing the freedom he has on YouTube to stream on another platform like Facebook at the same time. “Simulcast tomorrow,” he said on Aug. 23. “Gonna see if I can ignore chat on BOTH platforms,” he added. The butt of the joke is he’s insinuating Twitch still restricts streamers more than YouTube. When the day for the YouTube x Facebook simulcast stream actually arrived, Doc said he was pushing it back to Friday, Aug. 26, before throwing another right-left combination at Twitch. “I want it to be radical,” he said. At this stage, it’s unclear if he’ll actually do it. But if he does, it’ll be a hilarious but lethal uppercut that’ll generate enough violence, speed, and momentum to leave a sting.

I wanted to take control of a virtual character…
