YouTube Suspends Monetization On Dr Disrespect’s Channel
Guy Beahm aka Dr Disrespect, a streamer with 4.7 million subscribers on YouTube, has had his channel demonetized by the platform. This is the latest fallout from the revelation that Dr Disrespect’s 2020 Twitch suspension was due to inappropriate messages that he sent to a minor through Twitch’s Whispers feature.
A YouTube spokesperson released the following statement to IGN that confirmed the company’s decision: “We have suspended Dr Disrespect’s channel from the YouTube Partner Program following serious allegations against the creator. This action means the channel is no longer able to monetize on YouTube.”
Prior to this, Turtle Beach ended its partnership with Dr Disrespect, who was also kicked out of Midnight Society, a gaming studio that he co-founded in 2021. Despite initially denying the reports that he had done anything wrong, Dr Disrespect subsequently admitted to messaging a minor. However, the streamer stressed that he did nothing illegal.
