Twitch streamer Evan Gao housed over 6,000 followers on his rising channel before a tragic accident struck the content creator, effectively resetting his channel progress. Curious as to why all 6,000 users suddenly stopped following his channel, another person on Evan’s broadcast explained the situation. In an attempt to purge bot followers from his channel, the Twitch streamer used a program to filter out suspected bots. There was only one fatal flaw in Evan Gao’s plan: He forgot to set any filters. “Dude, are you kidding me? Is there a way to undo that?” Evan Gao exclaimed upon finding out that he mass blocked his audience. Unfortunately, there is no way of gaining back followers once you have lost them outside of the viewers voluntarily re-following the channel. The filter system immediately blocked every follower, automatically unfollowing them from Evan’s channel. An hour following the unfortunate event, Evan checked out the sudden decline in his Twitch metrics. The graph showing followers over time saw a sudden, almost comical sharp downturn to zero. Thankfully, Evan saw the humor in the situation, admitting “that is actually a nice looking graph. That’s nice, dude.” Since the mass block, Evan has slowly but surely…

German Twitch gamer Marcel Eris, also known as MontanaBlack. Photo: Screenshot. One of the most popular content creators on the video live streaming platform Twitch came under fire this week for promoting a non-fungible token (NFT) with artwork that featured a Nazi swastika armband. German streamer MontanaBlack, whose real name is Marcel Eris, boasts 4.3 million followers on Twitch and 1.1 million on Twitter. On Tuesday, he led an NFT giveaway on Twitter in collaboration with the Kongdo Club, a creator of the cryptocurrency-based digital assets that are bought and sold like works of art. One of the prized NFTs featured an avatar of a monkey wearing an armband with a swastika. Shortly after uploading the post, the hashtag “#Monte” began trending on Twitter as social media users expressed dismay and outrage, according to the German-language online outlet Watson. MontanaBlack, who in 2019 was ranked as Twitch’s most subscribed channel, has since deleted the Twitter post, while Kongdo Club apologized for the artwork on Tuesday. “To clarify the swastika on our art, we had no intention of releasing this with any hate speech,” Kongdo Club said. “It has been removed from all art and we deeply apologize for this confusion.…

Amouranth is a pretty controversial and influential streamer in the Twitch community, to say the least. Last month, a new episode in Vice's "My Online Life" series focused on Amouranth, who revealed some secrets of her trade. In the video, Amouranth shared details about her inner world and the loneliness of streaming, as well as stats on her internet empire — which she said makes about $1.5 million a month between her various social accounts that pull in revenue. That's not all she talked about, either. In the video, she explained why some Twitch bans are hypocritical, especially against women. Amouranth pointed out that Twitch has a massive problem when it comes to banning many creators because of sexual content. While there are plenty of bogus bans that have happened on the platform, Twitch has an issue with consistency when it comes to women's bodies, in her opinion. She explained that Twitch shouldn't be banning women for embracing their bodies when plenty of popular and massively streamed games constantly sexualize women, citing games like "Dead or Alive" and "Grand Theft Auto."…

Fox will debut its new celebrity competition series “The Real Dirty Dancing” next month in the Tuesday time slot that was previously reserved for the now-pushed-to-fall, high-profile Susan Sarandon drama “Monarch.” The Stephen “tWitch” Boss-hosted dancing show, which was ordered to series by the network last fall as part of its 2021-2022 programming lineup, follows eight celebrities — Brie Bella, Corbin Bleu, Tyler Cameron, Cat Cora, Howie Dorough, Antonio Gates, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes and Loni Love — “as they fully immerse themselves” in the ultimate “Dirty Dancing” experience in the hope of becoming the next “Baby” and “Johnny” (the characters played by Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze in the classic ’80s film). The special event series will premiere Tuesday, Feb. 1 at 9 p.m. ET on Fox, airing its remaining episodes air Feb. 8, Feb. 15 and Feb. 22 in the same slot.

Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa is tired of Twitch streamers having to guess why they are getting banned and wants the platform to be more forthcoming. One of the most popular Twitch streamers on the platform is getting a bit fed up having to try and guess why she keeps receiving bans. Kaitlyn "Amouranth" Siragusa is now calling on Twitch to be quite a bit more transparent when it comes to the cause of someone being suspended or banned. Amouranth is certainly not the first person to want to better explanations for when she or her colleagues get banned. When Dr. Disrespect, one of the most popular streamers on the platform, left Twitch after being banned for a mystery reason, he reportedly took months to find out what he had done that warranted the punishment. Others, who may not have faced such severe sanctions still tend to claim they have no idea why they've been banned, whether it's for a few hours, days, or weeks. Twitch has started changing up how it deals with bans as the platform has started telling people the date of the stream they are receiving punishment for as well as the title of the stream. That can…

Screenshot via Pokimane’s Twitch channel Imane “Pokimane” Anys has criticized Twitch fans for setting sexist double standards for female streamers, including herself. Per Dexerto, while the 25-year-old streamer has been subjected to hate raids and harassment so far this year, Pokimane said that most of the abuse she receives is misogynistic in nature. On Saturday, she slammed viewers on her stream who hold attractiveness against female streamers as if being attractive in the first place is immoral. “Why is it that people like to hold how attractive someone is against them? People would only be like your viewers only like the way they look, and they want to f**k you. For starters, that’s rude and gross. Nobody asked,” Pokimane said in a clip of her latest stream. She added that attractiveness isn’t a huge issue even if someone does find a female streamer “hot.” To point out the double standard, Pokimane claims that famous male actors, especially those who star in teen dramas like Riverdale, Never Have I Ever…, and Cobra Kai, have fanbases filled with girls who fawn over them, yet no one tells them how cute their fanbase thinks they are. Meanwhile, female streamers have to put up…
