Twitch streamer banned after being denied partnership over age
Twitch streamer AverageHarry has been permanently banned after his partnership application was denied, and they discovered he allegedly signed up while under the age of 13.AverageHarry has been through a bit of a roller-coaster ride lately. It started back in October 2020 when a video of him getting mocked by strangers andcrying on streamwent viral.Since then, his popularity skyrocketed, and he applied to become a Twitch partnered streamer. However, theapplication was deniedin January 2021 after discovering he made the account when he was less than 13 years old, which didn’t align with his account details.But the drama doesn’t end there. Twitch also said he could lose access to his account because of the restriction. Now, it appears they have doubled down on that claim and made it happen.
However, AverageHarry hasn’t given up yet. “I’ll have a video out tomorrow talking about it all,” he said. “I am allowed to make another account, but I have just lost nearly 90k followers.”

And it seems like they are, with many people sharing their support on social media. “He genuinely seemed like a good kid,” wroteone user. “Hope he makes a new account and stuff.”
“That Twitch account was made by his parents and given to him by his parents after he was 13 and provided proof for that,” wroteanother. “But [he] still got his account removed. [I] hope the best for him.”In the end, though, Twitch is treating it as a serious matter and won’t want to set a precedent. So, it will be interesting to see what happens and whether their decision is final.
