YouTube is PewDiePie's primary platform, as a content creator with 111 million subscribers. Thanks to his enormous popularity, he also has a Twitch channel with many followers. However, PewDiePie was recently banned from the Amazon platform in a very strange context, and his channel disappeared overnight.
Twitch banned PewDiePie even when he wasn't streaming. This raised alarms among many fans who immediately thought that the content creator had been hacked or something similar. However, the community believes they know the real reasons for this unusual punishment.
As of writing this, PewDiePie remains inactive on Twitch, and his channel is missing from the platform. The strangest thing is that there is no official explanation yet, as neither the platform nor the content creator have made any statements about it.

Despite this, his fans have several theories to explain the ban. For some time now, PewDiePie's Twitch channel has been broadcasting some of his most popular videos, so the punishment was not due to a recent live stream.
Many of his followers believe that Twitch punished him for the rebroadcast of a PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS gameplay where the content creator uses a racist slur. Other people think that the rebroadcast of videos violated certain Twitch rules, which would explain the ban.
Social media reacted and criticized Twitch for punishing an important content creator for apparently not doing live streams. PewDiePie has been absent from the Amazon platform for quite some time, and with what happened, it's unclear if he will return soon.
