Dr Disrespect’s controversial career and the events leading to his bans on major platforms remain a significant topic in the gaming community. His move to Rumble marks the latest chapter, as the streamer aims to rebuild after years of scrutiny and setbacks.

The streamer, who has an audience of millions, admitted in June he had sent messages he described as “inappropriate” to a minor in 2017, costing him plenty of brand deals.

Dr Disrespect isn’t actually leaving YouTube behind completely when he starts streaming according to Rumble’s CEO Chris Pavlovski.
