@@damenwhelan3236 he has said on a tweet where he was texting a minor on twitch whispering. It supposedly didn’t lead to anything but that we dont know
So it turns out that they banned him for using Twitch's whisper function to make plans with a minor to meet up with them at a convention. He probably didn't know that they could see that.
Had to come back to this after it was reported from a former twitch employee about him talking to a minor over whispers. It’s insane how spot on you got this at 1:12:00. Did a good job not speculating as to WHAT it could’ve been and instead kept it as vague as possible, responsible ethical journalism is always appreciated.
Oh, you know what? That hypothesis is sound. Making a strategic exit so you don't have to face the embarrassment of having your ass handed to you by TRO in RaId: ShAdOw LeGeNdS!
It always amazes me how hard-core Twitch is about their bans. Even TH-cam will let banned people appear on someone else's channel for a couple minutes.
I think the problem is that they're extremely inconsistent with their bans, which might be why they settled with Doc out of court. Like, they only gave a week-long ban to a person having full-on sex on stream. Permabanning one of their biggest streamers, breaking their contract with him, and not providing a reason is laughable, but it might have led to the settlement. Like, it's possible that whatever he was permabanned for he could have said in court "At least I didn't have sex on stream. Hey, what happened to that lady who had sex on stream? Did she get permanently banned? No, well, why not, you did it to me?"
@@Unknown_Genius The irony is that I saw a streamer get only a temporary ban for showing someone committing suicide. It was actually kinda disturbing. The look on his face was like "This is the greatest thing that has, or will, ever happen on my channel, and there's no way I'm missing this opportunity."
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 People have ACCIDENTALLY said or showed something not so serious on stream and gotten permanently banned, and some people get fucked live on camera and get laughably short bans
“I spent the past week studying California State Law. It hasn’t been a fun week.” What a beautiful line, I hope that you are being treated well for that torturous task.
The thing I really don’t like about all of this is that, he KNEW why he was banned and continued to push the narrative that he did nothing wrong and had no idea why he was banned. How brazen in hindsight knowing what we know now that he acted that way and continued to make the same assertions for YEARS when questioned about the ban
For me, the biggest revelation from this video (so far) is that Dr. Disrespect played basketball for Cal Poly Pomona. Turns out, not only did we play against him, but he had one of his best games at our place in 2004.
Oh my god, I'm having an existential crisis! If TRO is now seen as a father figure...then I'm old enough to be considered a grandpa! Holy shit. If I turn into "that old guy," I hereby give you all permission to take me out behind the shed and end it. I'd rather that than be "that old guy" ruining the kid's fun. Time's a bitch and a half...
@@TheAssirra I don't believe that for a moment. Maybe over the entire lifespan of the company, but I don't believe that a game that everyone hates that has no real community that is constantly memed by every internet gaming personality could make $1 billion in revenue on a regular basis. Like, what you're suggesting is that Raid: Shadows Legends is comparable to GTA Online or Cyberpunk 2077 in terms of revenue.
Thanks, saved me an hour and a half. Tired of people making clickbait titles acting like they're gonna solve the mystery when still no one has the answer besides Twitch and maybe the streamer in question.
@@Trepie He didn't click bait like he'd solve it though? He just said it's the greatest mystery on Twitch. That never states that he'll solve it, just that he's going over this mystery.
My personal theory is that whatever he was banned for was during the ‘rise’ of Mixer. He did something that was a bannable offense, but due to Mixer poaching Twitch’s streamers, Twitch feared that if they banned Doc he would immediately move to Mixer, bringing a chunk of his viewer base with him. Docs move to Mixer could have some substantial impacts on the streaming community at the time, as he was one of the biggest. In order to avoid this, Twitch waited to ban Doc until Mixer went under. While I know fuck all about streaming contracts, it’s possible that whatever he was to be banned for was long enough ago that it was no longer applicable. He would use that as a basis for his legal case, but during the discussion with Twitch, someone would bring up that whatever he got banned for would likely happen again, leading him to a settlement.
Literally only theory I have is that he faked a better offer from Mixer (he definitely got atleast some offer) to milk more from a Twitch contract, was found out and banned
@@ThePussukka I think this is what the COD voice actor said as well but it doesn't make much sense when you break down the timeline but I think a lot of little contextual things don't add up with the theory that they lied about a contract. It's important to remember that Doc is represented by CAA as well, a major talent agency who would have been negotiating the deal on Doc's behalf with his input of course but that was occurring in the fall of 2019 based on comments I've seen Doc make. CAA also represents Ninja who was signed to an exclusivity deal shortly after mixer shut down. Contextually I don't think that if CAA negotiated in bad faith with Twitch that they would then sign another CAA represented streamer. That being said, I definitely think they sat on something Doc did and that when mixer went under they saw a way out of a massive contract.
In my theory, Twitch paid Doc a huge amount of money to make him not go to Mixer. However, when they find out Mixer's fall, they banned Doc to not pay the money they agreed
@@DomSte128 That's basically my thought as well, you can see in the twitch payout leak that he was like #10 for the period the leak covered and he hadn't been on the platform for almost 6 months when that happened. My guess is they wanted to get out from under all the money, maybe even asked to renegotiate and doc/CAA turned down the offer.
I'm confused how XQC still is allowed to stream on twitch, he is worse then Dr. Disrespect in almost every way and flat out breaks TOS with twitch holding a vote that XQC floods with fans to get going in his favor. When Dr is not the most ad friendly it is really damning with the people who are allowed to stay who aggressively break the rules.
There was an assault alegation, we even know about the girl and the NDA... When a large company dismisses such a large money maker like this, it's because whatever happened was so serious they have no choice. Also I believe he knows why he was fired because the amount of money involved finances teams of employees for both the Dr and twitch. They know why it ended. He either doesn't want to admit what it was or he can't because there is an NDA or I think he would have told us. And I think the ppl involved said it was really bad but wouldn't say what was to protect the victim. I think that's why the doc agreed to not tell anyone why he was fired in the lawsuit. At the very least we should assume whatever he did is worse then what the others did because all we do know is what he did got him banned.... 😕 This whole thing really sucks....twitch needs to be honest and clear cuz there's a chance he didn't break rules the way others did who knows.
@@evanjuleen Even that is shaky because we've seen people assault others on stream without getting banned. Heck, there's people who've been accused of creating CP, and murder, that still stream on Twitch. That's the issue. On a site like Twitch where almost no one has received bans for breaking the rules and doing truly terrible things, Doctor Disrespect was the one who got arguably the most serious ban ever given in the history of the site.
@@evanjuleen I feel like that's a very cut-and-dry ban though. Assaulting a fellow streamer has always been a big obvious no-no and not really something you could sue and win over. Unless the accusation turned out to be false? Also when it's revealed that a streamer is an abuser, there's usually multiple victims, and that kind of stuff just does not stay in the bag.
I have no idea who this creator is and I really don't care about twitch drama, but still enjoyed it, a TRO video is always A Good Video. And that promo voice floored me, I'm a patron but I have to give extra thanks for that.
I never saw a single video or stream of Dr Disrespect, and even so, news about his ban and what it could mean and what caused it reached my ears from completely different circles of interest. That ban was massive, I feel like no one, specially no one at Twitch, knew how big it would get the moment it went off.
i got refractory temporal lobe epilepsy and appreciate the warning, it's hard to explain but even small seizures hurt and are not fun. Thanks for all the hard work, you and your team are awesome!
Wholesome as hell 👍 I know what you mean since I've to hold my hand over my missus' eyes at gigs sometimes, or she turns into me, and turn the light on when watching some movies at night if they flicker too much. You are so right, the little ones aren't fun. Hope you are well and All the best mate 👍

@@MadameRougarouLeia Hope you have a great thanksgiving, sorry you got epilepsy too, people besides epileptics understand how bad it hurts and the suffering involved. Even doctors are awful and don't help or understand it's hell. Hope you have more good days than bad.
@@TWEEMASTER2000 just want to say from Ireland, even though its an American holiday, happy thanksgiving to you, I wish you and your family and loved ones a great day... You are really what is needed a lot more online and in life. A thoughtful, empathic, genuinely decent person who went out of their way to be nice to a stranger. That's a lovely thing you said and you didn't have to. Fair play mate 👍
As the partner of someone with Electrographic Epilepsy, I VERY MUCH appreciate the clear warning and the attention to detail in including that warning in the chapter title. Things like this make it possible for my partner to actually enjoy watching TH-cam with me. When people don't, I have to pre-screen things. This is so considerate and I appreciate it so much!
It baffles me that you're able to orchestrate shit like this 1.5 hrs and your last 5 hr video was just a few weeks ago. Seriously dude, you're a TH-cam legend. And the way you support your editors adds a super unique style to your videos while also allowing you to have more time for research. There's no one like you bro thank you. Your art isn't going unnoticed and your release schedule lately has been on point. You're fuckin awesome keep it up
@@martinszymanski2607 i mean he also has to do a ton of research to make sure he has all the publicly available info+doesn't spread misinfo and also has to write the script and things like that are all more time consuming and complicated than you'd think
@@martinszymanski2607 also so many of the people he talks about make the most annoying content ive ever seen in my life and the amount he has to get through is impressive in and of itself lmao
@@martinszymanski2607 but the reason he's able to research, write the script, and do the voiceover in the first place is because he outsources to editors. That's literally the reason this video exists in the first place. If he had to do all that himself, we'd be lucky to have 3 20-minute videos from him a year. And can you name another TH-camr who supports multiple editors and different styles like TRO? I'm sorry you must be new here He's a smart guy, it's all intentional
Id be confused if this is your first time hearing about dr d or even the contreversial ban in 2020 since it was big news for the twitch and youtube community but then again, i only heard about the csgo gambling scam in 2020 when it was big news in '16
Same here. I watch a couple of youtubers about gaming but over all i am very much do not recognize most names of these tiktokers and streamers. i am going into this rabbit hole for a couple of hours now, Its kinda interesting, somewhat crazy.
in hindsight and outside the actual claims, this video reminds me how much he played the victim while knowing the reason he was banned the whole time. this alone is scummy. also remember he did that NFT/crypto shit.
Agree like up until the rebeal he gaslighted everyone to think like theres conspiracy and very deep plan is brewing behind twitch but instead it just pdf file.
As a kid who grew up in the Bay Area, hearing “I’m sitting there at the Blockbuster world championships at Marine World in Vallejo, California” hit me in the nostalgia feels like nothing else could 😭
Wholesome ☺ even though I not American, the sight and sound and particular smell of the video rental shops is something very close to my heart and something I wish i could experience again. I can remember the standees, the wall of the same new releases, the smell of the carpet tiles, the movie playing on the TV over and over... The amazing 80s scifi/horror artwork on the covers... The thrill of being allowed get a game for the weekend and it's a Friday night... Good Times! 👍 ☀ ✌️ From 🇮🇪
The Intercept published articles last week showing that a dept in dhs had their own log in portals to take down or report content. This was across social media platforms including twitch and TH-cam. You can google the articles the author is Lee Fang.
Wow, the “this video has aged like milk” takes are garbage. The vid tells the story of what was known at the time. But I guess TRO should have been able to for tell the future. What jackasses.
Yeah. I assumed over half of them are just smug redditors who feel the need to smugly point out thing to gets likes and upvotes. This also a risk of doing a neutral standpoint video, if after the result came out. You are either jaded toward the victim or protecting the offender because you took the neutral stance.
An ex of mine called it the day he was dropped. It was so out of pocket back then but when the Dr's name popped back up the first thing I thought was "don't fucking tell me-"
This just got recommended to me again today and I'm assuming its cause of the news that his studio kicked him out cause he had apparently been grooming underage fans.
I would agree with you if this was nearly any other commentator, but TRO's content specifically focuses retrospectives and going in depth through the entire history of the individual in question, which is why he always uplaods about a topic way after the drama has already been resolved/largely forgotten about. Unlike most creators within the commentary sphere, he does not make videos for the purpose of spreading awareness or information about a single situation (especially while it's happening), at most it'll be the center focus of the analyzation of whoever he is discussing. The only exception to this that I am aware of is Onision, whose history goes so far back and is so complicated in nature that squeezing it all into one structured video would've been next to impossible. I think the only realistic scenario where another longform video from TRO (that remains consistent to his upload style) would be warranted is if Dr.Disrespect did a lot more things within the next 5-10 years that could be looked back on retrospectively
this was honestly quite a good comprehensive video on the situation at the time, unfortunate that so many aspects are tainted by the truth coming out but at least the community can take appropriate action now. The ending statements especially are unfortunate but what can you do
It was weird that once he was banned, Twitch was signing people for an insane amount of money. Maybe they were paying the Doc big money and when Mixer went down, they knew they didn't have to pay out a big contract to him. So they banned him and said he violated the community guidelines. That's what I think.
of course this is the answer, cant believe i had to scroll so far for it. Twitch grinded the numbers found out its not worth it to keep him around for the contract engaged now that compettitions eliminated; he filmed in a public restroom - ban, breach of contract no money for you. Done, simple.
Regarding twitch itself. Considering the recent announcements of worse cuts for creators and so on I think youtube would have a big big chance to slowly bleed out twitch over a long span of time if they bettered discoverability for streamers. If the youtube streaming section would be nearly as easy to brows as twitch i feel twitch would lose many of new talent with the latest announcements they made.
Yt shorts help some people get discovered so everyone is gradually using it. I love how many new people I've found. And I like some of the content people I was already subscribed to are trying out. I also still love long content or docus, but sometimes it's fun to scroll and see what you get. So I firmly believe streaming could eventually take off if easily discoverable and not complicated to use/post.
@@theflowerhead The problem with streaming is that it's not about just discovering a creator, but knowing when they are going live, and having a good chat system. TH-cam has really failed in these areas. There's some I watch where I just never catch their live streams unless it's following a schedule and I seek it out and have it up ahead of time.
Seriously! That was the best ad read for Raid I've ever heard. It almost made me download the game, but I don't need another pointless timesink gacha game in my life.
Disrespect is the perfect word here cause he didn't actually break any laws, yet everyone is still mad cause what he did was sketch. Although I think it was like 7-8 years ago.
@@BWalsh737 lmao wow. He doesn't even edit his own videos. He's "fine" and is just a regular drama youtuber. I bet you like Keeping Up With The Kardashians lmao
@@SECONDQUEST Get fucked cunt. If you go on youtube videos to make people feel bad about enjoying a creator i feel bad that you have shitty patents and no friends. Really must suck to realize everyone around you hates you, thats why you have to be mean to make yourself feel better.
Then he went and got his got his COD skin removed because he acted like a man baby when his buddy Nickmercs made dumbass comments against the lgbt community on twitter and Activision took away his skin (rightfully so). And my favourite quote that came out of it was “Dr disrespect is more loyal to Nickmercs than his own wife”.

Here in Aus, I had a friend tell me about what he called "The man covered in shit" problem No matter how good an argument you make If a man covered in shit shouts "I'M WITH THIS GUY" people don't take you seriously The allegiance of a liability
Doc streaming on TH-cam also really helped his lawsuit. It's hard to prove damages in court, since a lot of it is theoretical. The big thing with being on youtube is that Doc established a very clear loss of revenue he could factually provide compared to what he used to make, which is huge. This is also near the time that Twitch embraced the Hot Tub Meta, which is now ironically killing the platform as they are encouraging all the views to give them money on other platforms/directly instead while also scaring off a ton of advertisers.
I feel so lucky to have gotten 2 videos so fast from Tro my week has been made I was not expecting another video for like at least another 4 months :) thank you

I think the end of mixer, the return of Ninja and other streamers that left for mixer, and the doc's newly fattened contract had a lot to do with his ban. He was a dangerous bet to begin with and would have been easy to find a reason to ban him. Just say that he broke contract, and recoup that money to fatten other large and less controversial streamers who were weighing their options with Twitch and TH-cam. Always follow the money.
@@LouisianaGirlypop thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is the most likely reason. If it is, that's too bad for Dr. Disrespect though... he deserved better than that from Twitch. Especially considering his loyalty during the whole Mixer fiasco.
I think this was most likely the main reason too. Like, I don't think it was the ONLY reason, I think Twitch saw how controversial he is and they wanted to revamp their image, but the financial reasons were the motivation for banning him bc the only way to get out of the expensive contract was to ban him. Ppl are saying he must've been accused of something serious like assault - but plenty of streamers have had accusations and not been banned. Sinatraa was accused of SA with some pretty damning evidence and still streams to 100k+ viewers all the time. They didn't want to pay Dr. Disrespect anymore bc they could divert that money to someone like Ninja who is seen as a more wholesome / kid friendly streamer.
Totally agree. Typical corporate behaviour. We are talking about Amazon and Jeff Bezos here. Only he would be so blatant as to have a brand new $500,000,000 ship built, whilst the world is suffering inflation, recession and uncertain times, and when an organisation that resembles a Blofeld Look-a-like convention (The WEF) suddenly seem as though they are running the world. I think the Doc was more gutted about getting played by Twitch, than anything else to do with that platform. A performer generally doesn't care where they perform, so long as they have an audience.

Honestly this reminds me of that time I got a new contract with a gas company (for heating) and they terminated the contract with no reason and no legal standpoint because the prices suddenly went through the roof and it just wasn't feasable for them to keep me for 2 years for half the price. I got money as compensation but only because my sister told me it wasn't lega for them to do that. I honestly think this could be the same scenario with Dr. Disrespect. Companies that huge are just shitty like that
Before watching this video, I assume that these recent videos have been coming out faster than the previous year mostly because they have all been worked on concurrently or progress was made long ago. There was a gap of around half a year between the Dream video and the Creep Art video after all. Some may point to length, but the previous two videos are among the longest on the channel with this one still not being short.
@@thpokemontrilogy it started when a certain vtuber named nux taku who made a video about how scammers where going around to vtubers who where a part of a company known as vshojo, and even indie vtubers offering things and getting them to click certain links and scam them. The company thanked nux in a tweet but when the vshojo vtubers publicly bashed and started a hate mob against nux for even talking about what happened. Everything gets super messy from then on and I'm not even going to try and properly describe BC I know I will get something wrong, but there are videos about it on youtube
I used twitch during the pandemic , mostly cause i was in the music production side. I didn’t realize how big twitch truly is until I started a bunch articles about all of these other streamers
My opinion: Before Mixer died, a contract was signed with DrD to keep him there, it was a big deal, and in excess of his worth to the platform. So, Mixer dies, and there is no reason to pay him this amount of money. So, simply they banned him to save money. Because honestly, it doesn't matter whether DrD is on twitch, because there is no competition left in the market. People think that they have to have a reason, they don't, it's entirely an economic choice. DrD is popular, but a large portion of that popularity is also Twitch popularity. He built himself on the back of a popular platform, so his popularity is not just entirely his. His viewership may have recovered on TH-cam, but it's not even close to the same income because TH-cam is a mostly free to watch platform. On Twitch people pay to subscribe. If Mixer had not died, DrD would have probably remained on Twitch, his demise was caused by Mixer and his contract. If he had not signed that damned contract and stayed in his previous, none of this would have happened. He clearly wanted more money, he felt he was worth it, and as a result, he ended up losing a lot. The conclusion here is no content creator is ever bigger then the platform, and if you ever try to be, they will screw you just to make an example of you. Also, there is part of me that thinks that this incident is a deliberate attempt at causing drama, and they simply got into a room and gave him a bunch of money and that was enough. Dude was easily prepared to sign a non-disclosure for a bag of monopoly money. So, nothing to see here.
Mixer definitely played a role in all of this. Whether he tried to leverage a Mixer deal for more money or lied about a Mixer contract to get more cash Twitch now is a cesspool and it's looking like YT and FB might be the future. Doc seems to be in a better place now though. With Timmy and Z he is doing quite well. The sponsorship deals he lost probably hurt the most though.
@@Asidelove He's definitely doing well on YT. I have seen him talk about the finances though and he's stated that he's making far less on YT than on Twitch. He did not actually lose any sponsors but there was a brief time when game fuel had pulled his name from their site but it was back up the same day. It was odd timing because he had just switched from Gfuel to Game Fuel so I did see a lot of people saying he lost a sponsor there.
I have the same problem with this theory as TRO does. I find it unlikely that Dr. D was losing Twitch money, as he was one of their most famous streamers by far. Is Twitch really dumb enough to offer him too much money? There are plenty of other huge streamers that didn’t get targetted like this, in fact people even allege that they're given preferential treatment over small streamers. How does twitch benefit from firing one of their most famous streamers for no reason, and if they do gain something from doing this why did it only ever happen to Doc?
@@pinklemonade8320 there is a point where having too many streamers dilutes the content value. Meaning, you cannot view too much content. So, after kicking D off, I bet those viewers just rotated elsewhere and no change in balance for Twitch.

we won't?
He probably is honestly, there was probably a deadline on when he had to post a video for the raid sponsor
TRO, we care about you, tap in morse code if you're held against your will
So it turns out that they banned him for using Twitch's whisper function to make plans with a minor to meet up with them at a convention. He probably didn't know that they could see that.
Thank you, future traveler
@@mladen190 LOL
Sorry I’m so late to this, but what’s a twitch whispering function?
Had to come back to this after it was reported from a former twitch employee about him talking to a minor over whispers. It’s insane how spot on you got this at 1:12:00. Did a good job not speculating as to WHAT it could’ve been and instead kept it as vague as possible, responsible ethical journalism is always appreciated.
Can confirm TRO is a certified gamer. Dr. Disrespect probably got himself banned so he would never have to face such a foe
Underrated comment 😂
The story I heard was that Dr. Disrespect faced TRO before and that's where his anger started

Glad I found this gaming channel
It always amazes me how hard-core Twitch is about their bans. Even TH-cam will let banned people appear on someone else's channel for a couple minutes.
There is zero consistency in their ban durations or reasons. Twitch is on a steep decline and has been atleast since banning doc
I think the problem is that they're extremely inconsistent with their bans, which might be why they settled with Doc out of court.
Like, they only gave a week-long ban to a person having full-on sex on stream. Permabanning one of their biggest streamers, breaking their contract with him, and not providing a reason is laughable, but it might have led to the settlement.
Like, it's possible that whatever he was permabanned for he could have said in court "At least I didn't have sex on stream. Hey, what happened to that lady who had sex on stream? Did she get permanently banned? No, well, why not, you did it to me?"
@@Unknown_Genius The irony is that I saw a streamer get only a temporary ban for showing someone committing suicide.
It was actually kinda disturbing. The look on his face was like "This is the greatest thing that has, or will, ever happen on my channel, and there's no way I'm missing this opportunity."
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 People have ACCIDENTALLY said or showed something not so serious on stream and gotten permanently banned, and some people get fucked live on camera and get laughably short bans
@@queefqueefington while having sex on stream is obviously extremely disgusting and bad, I don't think it's comparable to filming a suicide for clout

20 of what?
@@FungleFunTime dollars
Well this is a strange time to revisit this video
The thing I really don’t like about all of this is that, he KNEW why he was banned and continued to push the narrative that he did nothing wrong and had no idea why he was banned. How brazen in hindsight knowing what we know now that he acted that way and continued to make the same assertions for YEARS when questioned about the ban
For me, the biggest revelation from this video (so far) is that Dr. Disrespect played basketball for Cal Poly Pomona. Turns out, not only did we play against him, but he had one of his best games at our place in 2004.
#23 no less. What a beast.
Hahahaha nice L
TRO is such a charitable man for not involving himself with competitive gamers, he'd make them cry by showing off his immeasurable talent.
He must play RAID: Shadow Legends to keep his sheer gamer power in check.

*the* most underrated comment
Yes did not need two hours of this. Someone trying to get that extra Christmas money 😆
I think he just wanted to make a vid on DrD tbh haha
Thanks, saved me an hour and a half. Tired of people making clickbait titles acting like they're gonna solve the mystery when still no one has the answer besides Twitch and maybe the streamer in question.
@@Trepie He didn't click bait like he'd solve it though? He just said it's the greatest mystery on Twitch. That never states that he'll solve it, just that he's going over this mystery.
My personal theory is that whatever he was banned for was during the ‘rise’ of Mixer. He did something that was a bannable offense, but due to Mixer poaching Twitch’s streamers, Twitch feared that if they banned Doc he would immediately move to Mixer, bringing a chunk of his viewer base with him. Docs move to Mixer could have some substantial impacts on the streaming community at the time, as he was one of the biggest. In order to avoid this, Twitch waited to ban Doc until Mixer went under. While I know fuck all about streaming contracts, it’s possible that whatever he was to be banned for was long enough ago that it was no longer applicable. He would use that as a basis for his legal case, but during the discussion with Twitch, someone would bring up that whatever he got banned for would likely happen again, leading him to a settlement.
This is what I always thought, that twitch was trying to back out of paying him as much. Since mixer was going under anyways.
Literally only theory I have is that he faked a better offer from Mixer (he definitely got atleast some offer) to milk more from a Twitch contract, was found out and banned
@@ThePussukka I think this is what the COD voice actor said as well but it doesn't make much sense when you break down the timeline but I think a lot of little contextual things don't add up with the theory that they lied about a contract. It's important to remember that Doc is represented by CAA as well, a major talent agency who would have been negotiating the deal on Doc's behalf with his input of course but that was occurring in the fall of 2019 based on comments I've seen Doc make. CAA also represents Ninja who was signed to an exclusivity deal shortly after mixer shut down. Contextually I don't think that if CAA negotiated in bad faith with Twitch that they would then sign another CAA represented streamer. That being said, I definitely think they sat on something Doc did and that when mixer went under they saw a way out of a massive contract.
In my theory, Twitch paid Doc a huge amount of money to make him not go to Mixer. However, when they find out Mixer's fall, they banned Doc to not pay the money they agreed
@@DomSte128 That's basically my thought as well, you can see in the twitch payout leak that he was like #10 for the period the leak covered and he hadn't been on the platform for almost 6 months when that happened. My guess is they wanted to get out from under all the money, maybe even asked to renegotiate and doc/CAA turned down the offer.
we’re all back here for the same reason, huh?
I'm confused how XQC still is allowed to stream on twitch, he is worse then Dr. Disrespect in almost every way and flat out breaks TOS with twitch holding a vote that XQC floods with fans to get going in his favor. When Dr is not the most ad friendly it is really damning with the people who are allowed to stay who aggressively break the rules.
Personally think he pissed someone off on yhe trust and safety team.
@@Noodlepunk probably stole the wife of some basement cucky moderator and all he can do is to ban the doc lol.
There was an assault alegation, we even know about the girl and the NDA... When a large company dismisses such a large money maker like this, it's because whatever happened was so serious they have no choice. Also I believe he knows why he was fired because the amount of money involved finances teams of employees for both the Dr and twitch. They know why it ended. He either doesn't want to admit what it was or he can't because there is an NDA or I think he would have told us. And I think the ppl involved said it was really bad but wouldn't say what was to protect the victim. I think that's why the doc agreed to not tell anyone why he was fired in the lawsuit.
At the very least we should assume whatever he did is worse then what the others did because all we do know is what he did got him banned.... 😕 This whole thing really sucks....twitch needs to be honest and clear cuz there's a chance he didn't break rules the way others did who knows.
@@evanjuleen Even that is shaky because we've seen people assault others on stream without getting banned. Heck, there's people who've been accused of creating CP, and murder, that still stream on Twitch.
That's the issue. On a site like Twitch where almost no one has received bans for breaking the rules and doing truly terrible things, Doctor Disrespect was the one who got arguably the most serious ban ever given in the history of the site.
@@evanjuleen I feel like that's a very cut-and-dry ban though. Assaulting a fellow streamer has always been a big obvious no-no and not really something you could sue and win over. Unless the accusation turned out to be false? Also when it's revealed that a streamer is an abuser, there's usually multiple victims, and that kind of stuff just does not stay in the bag.

big fan of the way youtube is bringing this back rn, I understand that its the algorithm but im choosing to believe its comedic timing.
I have no idea who this creator is and I really don't care about twitch drama, but still enjoyed it, a TRO video is always A Good Video. And that promo voice floored me, I'm a patron but I have to give extra thanks for that.
I never saw a single video or stream of Dr Disrespect, and even so, news about his ban and what it could mean and what caused it reached my ears from completely different circles of interest. That ban was massive, I feel like no one, specially no one at Twitch, knew how big it would get the moment it went off.

You know honestly with how Twitch behaved I really assumed the reason would be stupid.
Turns out, I was in fact the one, who was stupid.
As the partner of someone with Electrographic Epilepsy, I VERY MUCH appreciate the clear warning and the attention to detail in including that warning in the chapter title. Things like this make it possible for my partner to actually enjoy watching TH-cam with me. When people don't, I have to pre-screen things. This is so considerate and I appreciate it so much!
It baffles me that you're able to orchestrate shit like this 1.5 hrs and your last 5 hr video was just a few weeks ago. Seriously dude, you're a TH-cam legend. And the way you support your editors adds a super unique style to your videos while also allowing you to have more time for research. There's no one like you bro thank you.

i mean, to be fair the editing is done by others, he doesn't need to do much besides providing the voiceover
@@martinszymanski2607 i mean he also has to do a ton of research to make sure he has all the publicly available info+doesn't spread misinfo and also has to write the script and things like that are all more time consuming and complicated than you'd think
@@martinszymanski2607 also so many of the people he talks about make the most annoying content ive ever seen in my life and the amount he has to get through is impressive in and of itself lmao
@@martinszymanski2607 but the reason he's able to research, write the script, and do the voiceover in the first place is because he outsources to editors.

i honestly choked 🤣
It's always fascinating to me to learn about this stuff. I've never heard of Dr Disrespect, and yet he's evidently a wildly popular personality.
He's the only streamer aside from Charlie that I would confidently say is a genuinely good guy
Id be confused if this is your first time hearing about dr d or even the contreversial ban in 2020 since it was big news for the twitch and youtube community but then again, i only heard about the csgo gambling scam in 2020 when it was big news in '16
Surely you’ve heard of “The 2-Time.”
Same here. I watch a couple of youtubers about gaming but over all i am very much do not recognize most names of these tiktokers and streamers. i am going into this rabbit hole for a couple of hours now, Its kinda interesting, somewhat crazy.
he is kind of an iconic guy.
in hindsight and outside the actual claims, this video reminds me how much he played the victim while knowing the reason he was banned the whole time. this alone is scummy.
also remember he did that NFT/crypto shit.
Agree like up until the rebeal he gaslighted everyone to think like theres conspiracy and very deep plan is brewing behind twitch but instead it just pdf file.

Wow, the “this video has aged like milk” takes are garbage. The vid tells the story of what was known at the time. But I guess TRO should have been able to for tell the future. What jackasses.
Yeah. I assumed over half of them are just smug redditors who feel the need to smugly point out thing to gets likes and upvotes.
This also a risk of doing a neutral standpoint video, if after the result came out. You are either jaded toward the victim or protecting the offender because you took the neutral stance.
TLDR: They found out he wasn't a real Doctor.
They found out he was a predator
Anyone else here today for NO REASON?!?!
Damn right
An ex of mine called it the day he was dropped. It was so out of pocket back then but when the Dr's name popped back up the first thing I thought was "don't fucking tell me-"
This just got recommended to me again today and I'm assuming its cause of the news that his studio kicked him out cause he had apparently been grooming underage fans.
Interesting. Sounds like we need an update to this video...
I would agree with you if this was nearly any other commentator, but TRO's content specifically focuses retrospectives and going in depth through the entire history of the individual in question, which is why he always uplaods about a topic way after the drama has already been resolved/largely forgotten about. Unlike most creators within the commentary sphere, he does not make videos for the purpose of spreading awareness or information about a single situation (especially while it's happening), at most it'll be the center focus of the analyzation of whoever he is discussing. The only exception to this that I am aware of is Onision, whose history goes so far back and is so complicated in nature that squeezing it all into one structured video would've been next to impossible. I think the only realistic scenario where another longform video from TRO (that remains consistent to his upload style) would be warranted is if Dr.Disrespect did a lot more things within the next 5-10 years that could be looked back on retrospectively
Excited to hopefully see an update to this soon 😂
Thanks!
Hearing you scream rades shadow legends really feels like im in an alternative universe
Can’t wait for the 2024 version of this video
Thanks for the epilepsy warning, those were some strong visuals!
it was definitely trippy and I'm still reeling a bit from it. looked cool though.
this was honestly quite a good comprehensive video on the situation at the time, unfortunate that so many aspects are tainted by the truth coming out but at least the community can take appropriate action now. The ending statements especially are unfortunate but what can you do
It was weird that once he was banned, Twitch was signing people for an insane amount of money. Maybe they were paying the Doc big money and when Mixer went down, they knew they didn't have to pay out a big contract to him. So they banned him and said he violated the community guidelines. That's what I think.
Same thought here
@@MissDarlaDeville Great minds think alike :)
of course this is the answer, cant believe i had to scroll so far for it. Twitch grinded the numbers found out its not worth it to keep him around for the contract engaged now that compettitions eliminated; he filmed in a public restroom - ban, breach of contract no money for you. Done, simple.
Regarding twitch itself. Considering the recent announcements of worse cuts for creators and so on I think youtube would have a big big chance to slowly bleed out twitch over a long span of time if they bettered discoverability for streamers. If the youtube streaming section would be nearly as easy to brows as twitch i feel twitch would lose many of new talent with the latest announcements they made.
Yt shorts help some people get discovered so everyone is gradually using it. I love how many new people I've found. And I like some of the content people I was already subscribed to are trying out. I also still love long content or docus, but sometimes it's fun to scroll and see what you get. So I firmly believe streaming could eventually take off if easily discoverable and not complicated to use/post.
@@theflowerhead The problem with streaming is that it's not about just discovering a creator, but knowing when they are going live, and having a good chat system. TH-cam has really failed in these areas. There's some I watch where I just never catch their live streams unless it's following a schedule and I seek it out and have it up ahead of time.
Raid better be paying you the big bucks after that amazing ad read

The only exception to this that I am aware of is Onision, whose history goes so far back and is so complicated in nature that squeezing it all into one structured video would've been next to impossible. I think the only realistic scenario where another longform video (that remains consistent to his upload style) would be warranted is if Dr.Disrespect did a lot more things within the next 5-10 years that could be looked back on retrospectively
Here in Aus, I had a friend tell me about what he called "The man covered in shit" problem
No matter how good an argument you make
If a man covered in shit shouts "I'M WITH THIS GUY" people don't take you seriously
The allegiance of a liability
love it lol
Doc streaming on TH-cam also really helped his lawsuit. It's hard to prove damages in court, since a lot of it is theoretical. The big thing with being on youtube is that Doc established a very clear loss of revenue he could factually provide compared to what he used to make, which is huge. This is also near the time that Twitch embraced the Hot Tub Meta, which is now ironically killing the platform as they are encouraging all the views to give them money on other platforms/directly instead while also scaring off a ton of advertisers.
I feel so lucky to have gotten 2 videos so fast from Tro my week has been made I was not expecting another video for like at least another 4 months :) thank you
Just what I need! A TRO video to distract me from boring scientific papers 😂 new tro videos are like Christmas
Exactly what i needed, an unimportant video to get me away from the stuff im supposed to do.
We NEED a follow-up video

Time to make a part 2 🤭
I think the end of mixer, the return of Ninja and other streamers that left for mixer, and the doc's newly fattened contract had a lot to do with his ban. He was a dangerous bet to begin with and would have been easy to find a reason to ban him. Just say that he broke contract, and recoup that money to fatten other large and less controversial streamers who were weighing their options with Twitch and TH-cam. Always follow the money.
This is what I think went down. Very well said.
@@LouisianaGirlypop thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is the most likely reason. If it is, that's too bad for Dr. Disrespect though... he deserved better than that from Twitch. Especially considering his loyalty during the whole Mixer fiasco.
I think this was most likely the main reason too. Like, I don't think it was the ONLY reason, I think Twitch saw how controversial he is and they wanted to revamp their image, but the financial reasons were the motivation for banning him bc the only way to get out of the expensive contract was to ban him. Ppl are saying he must've been accused of something serious like assault - but plenty of streamers have had accusations and not been banned. Sinatraa was accused of SA with some pretty damning evidence and still streams to 100k+ viewers all the time. They didn't want to pay Dr. Disrespect anymore bc they could divert that money to someone like Ninja who is seen as a more wholesome / kid friendly streamer.
Totally agree. Typical corporate behaviour. We are talking about Amazon and Jeff Bezos here. Only he would be so blatant as to have a brand new $500,000,000 ship built, whilst the world is suffering inflation, recession and uncertain times, and when an organisation that resembles a Blofeld Look-a-like convention (The WEF) suddenly seem as though they are running the world. I think the Doc was more gutted about getting played by Twitch, than anything else to do with that platform. A performer generally doesn't care where they perform, so long as they have an audience.

YAY! Just the perfect time. About to start some work, excited to listen to it. Thanks always for the best quality content man!!!!

@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok!
As a photosensitive epileptic thank you for the warning ❤️ ive been a fan for years and love how much depth every video of yours offers
Here is some good information and tips about phot epilepsy. I have a pretty bad epilepsy too. th-cam.com/video/p6uvsu8g6BA/w-d-xo.html
"Photosensitive epileptic" are you kidding me? Come on....
@@basse9914 Photosensitive epilepsy is when seizures are triggered by flashing lights or contrasting light and dark patterns. Photosensitive epilepsy is not common but it may be diagnosed when you have an EEG test. Flashing or patterned effects can make people with or without epilepsy feel disorientated, uncomfortable or unwell. Clears it up for you? Also it's just a reaction in the brain that triggers epilepsy
@@basse9914 „It‘s al just in your heeeeaaad!“
„Duh.“
I think a sequel to this video is in order
Yeah, but like all TRO videos, he’s probably going to wait till the controversy dies down
God, what I wouldn’t give to have been at Marine World in 1993-1994.
Would you give up both of your balls? 🤔
Now THAT'S an A E S T H E T I C.
Hype Gamer TRO doesn't exist, he can't hurt you.
Hype Gamer TRO: 7:28
the sponsorship segment scared the shit out of me 😭😭
It feels like he wrote the ad script for Internet Historian but he couldn't book him in time!
No can do a better ad read then IH
i know its something quite small but i really love how you credit your editors and resources. as an editor, it really makes me smile to see you give them credit. love your content man, keep it up!!
Sorry guys it was probably not mixer or any other it was probably what he did recently.
The shortest TRO vid in recent times, truely amazed 👏
Honestly this reminds me of that time I got a new contract with a gas company (for heating) and they terminated the contract with no reason and no legal standpoint because the prices suddenly went through the roof and it just wasn't feasable for them to keep me for 2 years for half the price. I got money as compensation but only because my sister told me it wasn't lega for them to do that. I honestly think this could be the same scenario with Dr. Disrespect. Companies that huge are just shitty like that
Before watching this video, I assume that these recent videos have been coming out faster than the previous year mostly because they have all been worked on concurrently or progress was made long ago. There was a gap of around half a year between the Dream video and the Creep Art video after all.
Some may point to length, but the previous two videos are among the longest on the channel with this one still not being short.
Thanks for the verbal and visual warning for flashing it's definitely helpful to have both
Dr Disrespect looks like what would happen if there was a parallel universe where Kurtis Connor was a supervillain.
I was needing a long video to listen to, thank you TRO for ur hard work! ❤❤
This and the vshojo mystery are the two Internet mysteries that are still confusing and unsolved to this day
Who's vshojo? Another streamer who just stopped?
@@visassess8607 it's a whole ass company of Vtubers
💀
what’s the vshojo mystery?
@@thpokemontrilogy it started when a certain vtuber named nux taku who made a video about how scammers where going around to vtubers who where a part of a company known as vshojo, and even indie vtubers offering things and getting them to click certain links and scam them. The company thanked nux in a tweet but when the vshojo vtubers publicly bashed and started a hate mob against nux for even talking about what happened. Everything gets super messy from then on and I'm not even going to try and properly describe BC I know I will get something wrong, but there are videos about it on youtube
@@strawbmouse3615 oh shit yeah i forgot that happened. i don’t really watch entubers. fuck nux taku for all the other shit tho lol
I literally don’t even know what he’s talking about but I am a simple woman, I see a TRO video and I click
his voice is really exceptional
Welp, now we know the truth
Damn G - called it like a Prophet.
I used twitch during the pandemic , mostly cause i was in the music production side. I didn’t realize how big twitch truly is until I started a bunch articles about all of these other streamers
This comment is so useless lolil
Music is pretty cool, any recommendations ?
My opinion: Before Mixer died, a contract was signed with DrD to keep him there, it was a big deal, and in excess of his worth to the platform. So, Mixer dies, and there is no reason to pay him this amount of money. So, simply they banned him to save money. Because honestly, it doesn't matter whether DrD is on twitch, because there is no competition left in the market. People think that they have to have a reason, they don't, it's entirely an economic choice. DrD is popular, but a large portion of that popularity is also Twitch popularity. He built himself on the back of a popular platform, so his popularity is not just entirely his. His viewership may have recovered on TH-cam, but it's not even close to the same income because TH-cam is a mostly free to watch platform. On Twitch people pay to subscribe.
If Mixer had not died, DrD would have probably remained on Twitch, his demise was caused by Mixer and his contract. If he had not signed that damned contract and stayed in his previous, none of this would have happened. He clearly wanted more money, he felt he was worth it, and as a result, he ended up losing a lot. The conclusion here is no content creator is ever bigger then the platform, and if you ever try to be, they will screw you just to make an example of you.
Also, there is part of me that thinks that this incident is a deliberate attempt at causing drama, and they simply got into a room and gave him a bunch of money and that was enough. Dude was easily prepared to sign a non-disclosure for a bag of monopoly money. So, nothing to see here.
Mixer definitely played a role in all of this. Whether he tried to leverage a Mixer deal for more money or lied about a Mixer contract to get more cash
Twitch now is a cesspool and it's looking like YT and FB might be the future.
Doc seems to be in a better place now though. With Timmy and Z he is doing quite well. The sponsorship deals he lost probably hurt the most though.
Very well put bro
@@Asidelove He's definitely doing well on YT. I have seen him talk about the finances though and he's stated that he's making far less on YT than on Twitch. He did not actually lose any sponsors but there was a brief time when game fuel had pulled his name from their site but it was back up the same day. It was odd timing because he had just switched from Gfuel to Game Fuel so I did see a lot of people saying he lost a sponsor there.
I have the same problem with this theory as TRO does. I find it unlikely that Dr. D was losing Twitch money, as he was one of their most famous streamers by far. Is Twitch really dumb enough to offer him too much money? There are plenty of other huge streamers that didn’t get targetted like this, in fact people even allege that they're given preferential treatment over small streamers. How does twitch benefit from firing one of their most famous streamers for no reason, and if they do gain something from doing this why did it only ever happen to Doc?
@@pinklemonade8320 there is a point where having too many streamers dilutes the content value. Meaning, you cannot view too much content. So, after kicking D off, I bet those viewers just rotated elsewhere and no change in balance for Twitch.
