LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Félix Lengyel aka xQc, apparently found that his Gmail and Google accounts had been "cross-banned" while doing Twitch livestreaming. This happened just one day after his YouTube channel was shut down due to many copyright violations.
xQc's reaction videos have drawn a lot of criticism in recent months, and it appears that the ban was a result of creators suing his channel for repurposing their work.
xQc reacts to his Gmail ban
During his most recent Twitch livestream, the streamer could not sign into the YouTube account with which he used to access the website. However, it appears that the YouTube ban has been lifted and the public can now view the official xQc channel, which has over two million subscribers.
When the streamer found out that he was unable to sign into his account, he responded, "Bro! Bro, is my main Gmail also banned? Brother that's insane. Brother!"
xQc was shocked to learn that his Google account would be suspended and assumed it was related to the fact that he had been cross banned from all Google services as a result of the punishment he got on his YouTube channel.
He went on to say, "I mean chat this, guys is very common. It cross-banned, it's insane though. That's actually insane."
Internet reacts to xQc's ban
The reaction content controvery has led to the ban of Canadian streamer xQc, who has been accused of stealing content from comparatively smaller content producers.
He has also been criticized for exploiting his videos for responding to his stream. Like xQc, many streamers have also faced criticism from reaction critics for making money by simply reacting to other content videos.
The controversy has led to xQc's initial ban due to multiple creators reporting his channel.
An X user took it to the platform and wrote, "My respect for YouTube just goes up and up Hilarious."
Another user added, "Someone wants xQc gone..."
The third commentator mentioned, "Surprised he gave a reaction instead of just staring at a screen."
