As a hardcore gamer who’s been following Dr Disrespect‘s journey since his Twitch days, I must say it’s quite fascinating to see how he’s managed to weather the storm after his ban and subsequent fallout. Four years have passed, and yet, Doc still has an army of loyal fans ready to support him through thick and thin.


After Dr Disrespect’s explanation for his 2020 Twitch ban became public knowledge and resulted in his YouTube channel being demonetized, it’s clear that his Streamlabs page indicates he’s thriving financially.

2024 marked exactly four years since Twitch infamously imposed a permanent ban on Dr Disrespect. It was later disclosed, in a tweet since removed, that his ban was due to sending inappropriate messages to a minor on the platform.

After revealing a secret, the live-streamer faced significant consequences, as prominent entities such as Turtle Beach, the San Francisco 49ers, and his own game studio, Midnight Society, decided to end their partnerships with Doc.

His YouTube channel lost its ability to earn ad revenue temporarily, but he managed to reapply for the YouTube Partner Program soon following a lengthy break. Dr Disrespect attempted to rejoin the program on October 25th, however his application was turned down. He claims that after waiting 60 days, he will be able to submit another application.

Doc has successfully maintained a consistent stream of earnings even without monetization on YouTube, which is evident by the significant number of donations shown on his Streamlabs tip page.

Currently, Doc’s largest donation for October stands at an impressive $5,000, with two other generous contributions totaling more than $4,000 apiece. Completing the top five are a donation of approximately $2,761 and another one for around $1,550. In total, Dr Disrespect has received over $20,144 in donations so far.

Apart from the major contributors, it’s likely there are numerous other supporters contributing funds to Doc via Streamlabs, though these contributions are typically less substantial compared to the $355 donated by the tenth-ranked contributor on his list.

Apart from fan donations, Dr Disrespect also earned income during the past month through various means. One such source was the launch of a fresh merchandise line on October 25, which sparked enthusiasm among his fans.

Since getting demonetized on YouTube, there’s been much talk about whether Doc might switch platforms to Kick or Rumble. Although his specific intentions remain unclear, the streamer has hinted that the outcome of his next YouTube Partner Program application could potentially open up a significantly larger opportunity for him.
