Wasn’t he banned before? I’m sure he’s been mentioned in this thread a few times already.
There’s only speculation right now. That Twitter bot automatically detects partner accounts that get banned.
He was banned before for a while, but he was too lucrative so they brought him back.
He’s an absolute piece of shit.
Word is from an ex-twitch employee(who still maintains connections, and is still heavily involved in the streaming business) is that it was something big, and not something he’ll come back from, they think it’s a career-ender. Time will tell, I suppose.
He’ll fit right in on Facebook gaming 
Cryptofascist “thought leader” Stefan Molyneux was banned from YouTube. He then tried to start up a twich channel. He was banned on twitch within an hour.

Just discovered that a YT channel I really enjoyed is run by right-wing bigot apologists. They did blacksmithing/bladesmithing content. Channel is Alec Steele.
EDIT: I should clarify that I discovered the main hosts/owner of the channel are fans of a bunch of right-wing personalities, Turning Point, the Trumps, Ben Shapiro, etc.
Dr. Disrespect who is permanently banned from Twitch for unknown reasons is making a comeback on YouTube. Seems like he’s going to try every platform he isn’t banned from to see what works best. Of course, it would be a real “shame” if he got banned from everywhere else as well.

Time to cancel Game Grumps. Again.
I’m not defending the dude here but I’m waiting on the dust to settle on that one. That subreddit is known for spreading misinformation.

Also, it’s my understanding that the accusation is intentionally phrased to sound like he groomed her when basically what happened was, a month before she turned 18 she reached out to him as a fan with typical “hey you’re pretty cool I’m a big fan” stuff, then their next interaction is over four years later when she’s 22 and they bone and he ghosts her. Not exactly morally upright behavior, and he should be chastised for it, but far from something we should cancel the dude over.
Also, /r/rantgrumps is like, far, far beyond the normal hate-dom and into like… Advanced hate-dom.
https://www.reddit.com/r/gamegrumps/comments/manlwj/a_general_timeline_with_the_drama_that_ensued/ A timeline via /r/gamegrumps with further details since last night.
TL;DR it seems like the victim just thought it was kinda shitty that Dan would bang fans and then ghost them, and RantGrumps made up the whole grooming thing from a molehill.

Official statement.
Not a YouTuber, but an awful CS:GO streamer. I see this as mostly a good news.
What happened was this awful CS:GO streamer got, correctly, perma-banned from Twitch. However, Twitch did not follow the correct procedure for executing the ban per the terms of their agreement. The bad news is this scumbag streamer gets about one free car worth of money from Bezos’ wallet. The good news is that they are still permanently banned.
As much as I like it when services ban people who deserve to be banned, I also strongly feel that even the worst person who is banned deserves to be properly informed of why they were banned. Habeas Corpus. If it’s a big company doing the banning, I expect to see a strict procedure followed with documentation and evidence.
e.g.: You are banned for being racist. Here are the racist things you posted. Here is the text of the rules in our ToS/CoC that you have violated. To discuss this here is a phone number or email of a real human being who will tell you that you have no way to reverse this decision unless it was truly in error.
There are too many cases of people losing their entire Google/Apple/Amazon/PayPal account with no recourse.

Does anyone remember the React World controversy from 2016? Here’s a refresher in case you don’t know or forgot.
Well, TheFineBros are trying it again.
