xQc shares that he had to seek therapy in order to be allowed back on Twitch.

Therapy sessions have become quite common among streamers these days. Recently, popular Twitch and Kick star xQc revealed that he had to attend a "therapeutic session" in order to get unbanned from the platform. This was all because a fan had trolled him with an explicit video of gorillas, resulting in his temporary ban.

Bans are not uncommon on streaming platforms like Twitch. The owners have to closely monitor the content being created by their streamers, as some may go to extreme lengths to gain attention from their fans. This puts the streamers in a tough spot, as they have to constantly adapt to the ever-changing guidelines set by the platform. When a streamer gets banned, they usually receive an email stating the duration of their ban, but not much explanation as to why it happened.

In the case of xQc, he shed light on a rather unconventional method used by Twitch. It turns out that after he was banned for watching the gorilla video, Twitch had him attend a therapy session with one of their employees to address the issue. This came to light during a stream where xQc was playing Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 with his friends Adin Ross and Trainwrecks on Kick. They were discussing how Ross could get unbanned from Twitch, and xQc jokingly mentioned how Twitch had made him go to therapy once.

When Ross asked if it was to get unbanned, xQc confirmed and added that it was a therapeutic session where he had to "touch base" with the Twitch employee. He went on to explain that his ban was a result of clicking on a link sent by a fan, which showed a gorilla having sex for a split second. This incident happened in 2020 and resulted in a 24-hour ban, which is a standard punishment for such offenses.

This ban from 2020 serves as a reminder of how quickly and easily streamers can get banned, and how they have to constantly be on guard. Even their own fans can try to get them banned for a laugh. On a lighter note, xQc recently revealed the amount of money he earned in one year as a streamer, and it's safe to say that even if he were to get permanently banned one day, he would have millions of reasons to not be too upset about it.

This incident involving xQc and the therapy session serves as a reminder for all streamers to be cautious and mindful of their actions, as even the smallest mistake can result in a ban.
