"specific reason" seems a very specific choice of words. indicates they'e given a reason e.g. "you've been shown to be super racist" just not the specific reason e.g. "you were shown to be racist on march 20th 2009".

Before he was a streamer he use to work on the Call of Duty games, I think he designed one of the multiplayer maps for one of the older CoD games IIRC.
He's popular because he's entertaining, some people don't like him, many do, much like your favourite wrestler, movie star or favourite sports star. Most of the subscribers sub for free via Amazon Prime, others donate money. A big following just like any other public figure generally makes you marketable which has brought DrDisrespect many sponsors throughout his growth.

Aww want to know now
Don
I think if they're partnered with Twitch they get more than 50%, so let's say a minimum of $90k a month. Then there's dono's, bits, sponsorships and any merch sales. Honestly I was surprised on hearing he's only worth $3.5m since he's been at a high viewer count for years now, he must earn well over $1m a year.

minus tax, not that i know what that is in america, and the numbers are recent numbers. go back say 3 years and it'll be much less, still impressive but i guess the real money has been only recently based on the 3.5 valuation.

I do like the Doc, But i find this hard to believe, to be honest, There's something he's not telling us which sure it's his personal life he doesn't have to but at the same time if its nothing THAT bad then surely he'd want to tell people so that all the assumptions and accusations going around rn get put to bed.

I guess if it makes twitch look bad, and he posts about such and such happening and it turns peolle against twitch, the company he may still want to have a relationship with if he can sort things out, going public isn't the best action.

My view on this is what ever these people have done outside of gaming or streams has nothing to do with any of us ! No one is perfect and we all have made mistakes ! If its True that these guys have done something very serious and its proven then yes by all means take action ! But these companies have no right to BAN these streamers because of an allegation someone has made from the past ! This is not the way these things should be done. From what I am seeing this is all being carried out By Woman at these companies taken matters in to there own hands.

Its defo not #MeToo because it would all be over Twitter with a Statement from a girl making an allegation. It sounds more like its something someone has dug up from his past ! or the new contract with another company , Anyway we will find out soon enough
My post was written in a purely speculative time with nothing asserted as fact apart from the cheating bit.
Last time I checked this was an open discussion to speculate on the ban.

Jesus, that behaviour is really not ok. Kids are watching this.I only tend to watch him when there's a new game out and I'm wondering if to try it or not. I got into Apex and Warzone after watching him and Shroud play them for a while.
I do enjoy watching him rage though.
