DrDelusional is back on YouTube, this time he is more delusional than ever. Years after being kicked out of Twitch, then being exposed for messaging a minor, then confirming this was the reason he was kicked out, now he is back with a different story to tell.
DrDelusional (or whatever the name is) a few years back, was kicked out of the Twitch, officially no explanation was publicly given why Twitch did this, which was a bit weird since he was one of their top streamers. Well, years later, after he sued them, still no explanation was given, until recently, one of the former Twitch employees confirmed the rumours that DrDelusional was messaging a minor and was planning to meet her. This triggered their internal procedures and the contract was terminated.
DrDelusional has denied this on Twitter (or whatever the name is), then he confirmed that, then he edited the message to remove the term "minor", took a break from streaming and now is back to tell the truth (or whatever the name for it is). And his truth is he... technically done nothing wrong. How? He was trolling journalists that the person was a "minor", when in fact it was a person "over the legal age of consent" and he was not "sexting" that person from a legal point of view. Which is a long and pathetic way of saying "I did something wrong, but the case was denied on technicalities".
When asked to show the messages that he claims were "taken out of context" he said, "what are we? In second grade?" and that he will not speak upon the matter any more unless he is forced to. A nearly 40-years-old "man" is texting someone who is not legally seen as an adult and plans to meet that person, while has a wife and a kid at home. The answer to his question is, "yes, we clearly are".
Then he built a whole conspiracy theory that it was a planned attack on him, and Twitch f*cked up the termination process. Maybe he is right, maybe that is why Twitch had to pay him up the rest of the contract for incorrect termination, but still that is not the main point of this story. He still thinks he is playing 4-dimensional chess while, basically, he just digs some technicalities and tries to avoid calling what he has done what it was. He says things like he "did not exchange explicit sexual messages" with that person, but he will not show what the messages were. So, were they not "explicit" or were they not "sexual"? Or were they not "exchanged"?
The best argument, in his mind, is that Twitch did not make a legal analysis if what he did was illegal or not in the particular jurisdiction the person involved was in while messaging him (which means the age of that person is most likely below 18). Guess what, Einstein, what you did does not have to be illegal for the platform to terminate your contract, it just has to violate the policy of that platform. Is it illegal to sit in a bikini in front of a camera and jiggle your stuff? No, but you can be kicked out of the Twitch for doing it, if they say so.
To summarise: he admitted doing something inappropriate, which automatically made him a toxic brand for any platform that will host him (maybe except for Kick), any potential sponsor with half of a brain cell, and all of it was just to troll the journalists? I don’t know, maybe he is just an idiot, who thinks he has done something smart, maybe he took advice from an idiot lawyer who thinks they will sue the journalists now (for writing that he has done what he admitted he has done), or maybe he is just a huge f*cking idiot who cannot face the reality. Whatever the truth is, I wish DrDelusional a lot of luck with his career (or whatever you can call it now).

YouTube is about to crack down on one, tiny aspect of their platform, which might lead to beginning of the end for this giant streaming provider.
There is a special kind of youtubers, a bottom-feeding kind, which craves the drama and will do anything just to score some pathetic points and stir some more drama. Yes, I’m talking about "commentator channels", so it’s pitchforks time!
While MrBeast keeps digging himself deeper into scandal surrounding his dubious practices (no, not manipulating his underage audience, but for organizing lotteries which broke the law), there is one voice visibly missing from this whole situation.
Quite popular youtuber videogamedunkey just announced that he has established a publishing studio called Bigmode, which will be focusing on indie productions. That announcement was met with mixed reactions, but not for some sinister reason.

Unity Technologies, a company behind very popular Unity game engine, hit the news again, but not for reasons you might expect. Yup, it looks like they became the new evil corporation on the horizon.
