ALBAWABA - YouTuber and streamer PewDiePie (Felix Kjellberg) went viral across social media after he was banned on Twitch for streaming an endless loop of his old YouTube videos making him trending on platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter).
Despite going viral about the news in question, PewDiePie was later unbanned after only 14 minutes and 24 seconds according to StreamerBans on X which is an automated account for news about banned streamers on the platform.
Users on X took to the comment section to joke about the reason PewDiePie was banned as they referred to the time he said the "N-word" while playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and getting mad at another player in 2017 which he later apologized for.

Many of his fans took to Kjellberg's defense saying that he's now a "family man" who has to take care of his kid adding that Twitch made a mistake banning him despite being a partner of the platform.
One user wrote, "It would have been unfair. Don’t see the difference between any other streamer doing it and Bob Ross’s channel."
Another added, "Twitch shouldn’t ban a man that has family to care for. PewDiePie is truly in his loving husband and father era."
On a similar note, fellow streamers like Shroud and LIRIK_247 were all banned and then unbanned similar to PewDiePie raising questions about what the platform is doing.
