TOKYO, JAPAN: Felix "PewDiePie," known for his charismatic personality and hilarious content, finds himself in the middle of another Twitch channel suspension, leaving fans puzzled. PewDiePie's Twitch channel, which has been running an "infinity stream" of his old videos non-stop for the past few months, has garnered massive attention from viewers worldwide. However, just when fans thought the coast was clear after the previous suspension in May, the Amazon-owned platform struck again with yet another ban on Monday, July 17.

As followers of PewDiePie wondered what might have transpired during the infinity stream to trigger the second ban, speculations arose across social media platforms. News of the suspension initially surfaced through StreamerBans, a prominent Twitter bot known for tracking Twitch partner suspensions, setting off a wave of discussions among his supporters.
