Even someone as well-known as Ethan Nestor can face consequences on Twitch. In this case, a simple mistake led to his ban. While participating in a Wikipedia speedrun, where players quickly click through hyperlinks to reach a specific page, Nestor accidentally clicked on a link that showed an inappropriate image. This resulted in his temporary ban from the platform.
It's not uncommon for streamers to push the boundaries of Twitch's rules and regulations in order to gain more viewers. However, there are certain rules, such as those regarding nudity and sexual content, that can get streamers into trouble. Fans believe that Nestor, also known as CrankGamePlays on YouTube, violated these rules and that's why he was banned this week.
Twitch does not reveal the exact reason for a streamer's ban, leaving fans to speculate on social media. Nestor's ban tweet has been liked 18,000 times, with many fans agreeing that he was banned for clicking on a link that showed female genitalia. His Twitch account is now blocked with a generic message stating that it is unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.
Interestingly, Nestor doesn't seem to have any objections to his ban as he simply tweeted "whoops" in reference to the incident. For those unfamiliar, a Wikipedia speedrun is when a player starts on one page and tries to reach a completely unrelated page by clicking through links, with a timer adding a sense of urgency. It is possible that this sense of urgency led to Nestor accidentally clicking on the inappropriate link.
Twitch typically issues suspensions of anywhere from one to 30 days for offenses like this, depending on the streamer's past behavior. So it's likely that Nestor will be back on the platform soon. In the meantime, fans can still enjoy his YouTube channel where he tries out expensive fidget toys and other random things.
