One way in which the streamer was affected by the controversy was with the demonetization of the Dr Disrespect YouTube channel. However, it does not seem that the controversial streamer is lacking funds, as he has gained over $20,000 from fans via tips during October. According to Dr Disrespect’s Streamlabs tip page, the streamer received one donation of $5,000 from BuckSteelman, two donations of over $4,000 from Habibi, one of nearly $3,000 from IronMaK, and others. Considering all the tips that appear in the Top Tippers section, he earned more than $20,000 in a single month. Considering how many people could be donating tips under $250 and don’t appear on the list, it’s likely that the total amount is much bigger than what can be seen on the page.
Fans Have Recently Donated Over $20,000 to Dr Disrespect
Despite still clearly being a popular content creator with loyal fans, the future of Dr Disrespect’s YouTube channel remains uncertain. YouTube recently denied Dr Disrespect’s appeal to monetize the channel, and he won’t be able to apply again for 60 days. Curiously, the normal period after rejection is either 30 or 90 days, which makes the streamer’s situation somewhat unique when compared to other participants of YouTube’s Partner Program.
After the Twitch ban controversy, Dr Disrespect also lost many sponsors. Turtle Beach ended its partnership with Dr Disrespect, and he was removed from the studio Midnight Society, the F2P shooter Rogue Company, and more. After being banned from YouTube and demonetized there, it’s still unknown what will happen to the streamer in the future. There’s speculation that Dr Disrespect may leave YouTube and stream from websites such as Kick or Rumble, but it’s still early to say for sure.
