Ever hear why Ben Finegold got banned from twitch several weeks ago?

He read out a nasty email someone sent him on the stream apparently, his ban should expire shortly if it hasn't already.
- Obi_Juan_Kenobi 6y agoWorth noting that Twitch usually doesn't make a statement about bans / ban reasons. This is Finegold's claim, and he is far from a neutral party. Also the specific issue was reading the email address, not the message. This, naturally, invites chat to send messages to that address. Regardless of intent, this is a very reasonable expectation to have. If the email is not a troll, that amounts to inviting a horde of people to send nasty messages to a suicidal person.
- slau 6y agoBen insulted xQc and his community. He called them racists, low-IQ, etc. https://m.livestreamfails.com/post/82089 https://m.livestreamfails.com/post/82089 He seems to have streamed yesterday and the day before, so he was probably unbanned after 24 hours with a warning.
