YouTube has officially suspended monetization on the channel of Dr Disrespect, popular streamer Guy Beahm, following serious allegations. It was revealed that he was banned from Twitch in 2020 for allegedly sending sexually explicit messages to a minor through Twitch's Whispers feature. YouTube's decision was based on Beahm's off-platform behavior violating their Creator Responsibility policy, which aims to protect the community. Despite Beahm admitting to inappropriate messaging, he clarified that no illegal actions occurred and pointed to a resolved lawsuit against Twitch. This action from YouTube marks a significant step against a large channel, similar to past cases involving other creators. The fallout includes the termination of partnerships and sponsorships with Beahm, highlighting the impact of such allegations on a creator's career. Twitch has yet to comment on the situation, as Beahm plans to return despite the ongoing controversy. YouTube's move underscores their commitment to addressing misconduct within their creator community.
