Jaycgee was banned from Twitch

Joelle "Jacygee" Grieco, a popular variety streamer on Twitch, has been prohibited from using the streaming service for an unidentified period of time.

The platform has barred Joelle "Jaycgee" Grieco from streaming on Twitch. Her last stream was a Twitch subathon that began on January 5 and was stopped abruptly due to the ban.

With her friends and other creators, such as OTK members Mizkif and Esfand, Jaycgee is well known for playing a variety of games on stream and for creating Just Chat content. She has 41.5K subscribers on YouTube, where she uploads entertaining highlights from her streams, and over 139,000 followers on Twitch as of this writing.

In the middle of her subathon, Jaycgee was suspended from Twitch, according to a January 17th post by StreamerBans. The streamer also acknowledged the ban in a tweet, but despite fans' online requests for an explanation, she chose not to do so. Viewers who watched Jaycgee's most recent streams speculated that LivestreamFail was the result of her playing movies while dozing off. Twitch has a strict policy regarding the streaming of copyrighted media on the platform; streamers who disobey this policy run the risk of receiving copyright strikes and being banned. Some people still manage to get around this restriction, though, and use the platform to stream anime and reality shows. Although this might be a valid justification for Jaycgee's suspension,

Along with questioning Jaycgee's ban on Twitch, some viewers criticized her subathon, calling it low-effort, and claimed she was "milking money from viewers." Additionally, they were contrasting Jaycgee's subathon with those of other streamers they thought were more interesting, including Buddha, Nidas, and WiseGuy.

Days-long subathons have been around since around 2015, when Albert "Boxbox" Zheng hosted the first one with the help of a bot he created that increased a timer when a viewer subscribed and donated. These days, streaming events are frequently held to honor a streamer's anniversary on Twitch or when they are holding a fundraiser. Ludwig Ahgren's 31-day Twitch stream in March 2021, where he shared his daily life and engaged in entertaining activities to keep his viewers entertained until the marathon ended, was one of the most recent subathons to draw the attention of viewers and streamers.

Since Jaycgee's subathon was shortened as a result of her Twitch ban and viewers expressed their displeasure with it, it is unknown whether she will restart the timer once she regains access to her account. Her fans will have to be patient as they wait for her to return because it is unknown how long this ban may last.
