H3H3Productions, led by Ethan and Hila Klein, faced a 30-day ban from Twitch after re-broadcasting a controversial video associated with streamer Hasan Piker, known as the Hasan Content Nuke. Klein disclosed the ban during a March 5 episode of the H3 Podcast, where he openly criticized Twitch for what he perceives as inconsistent enforcement of its policies.
The ban was officially attributed to “encouraging or glorifying extreme violence,” as per a notice Klein shared during the podcast stream. He learned of this suspension while on air and reacted strongly, emphasizing that his channel was penalized for content that originated from Hasan, who faced no consequences from Twitch for his actions. In the notice, it was mentioned that Klein’s video included content violating policies, such as suggestions to burn down police stations and inciting violence against protesters, alongside statements calling for the harm of specific groups.
Klein pointed out his surprise at the severity of Twitch’s actions, stating, “I didn’t even say [anything].” This remark highlights the ongoing tensions between him and Hasan, rooted in the Content Nuke video, which critiques Hasan’s conduct and expressed political views on the streaming site. Klein seems to suggest that rather than any wrongdoing of his own, it was Hasan’s commentary that led to his account’s suspension.
The feud between the two personalities has developed over time, escalating particularly with the release of the Content Nuke video, which remains accessible on the H3H3Productions YouTube channel and has amassed over three million views. The specific grounds for Twitch’s decision to ban the H3H3Productions channel are still unclear, as both Ethan Klein and Hasan Piker have recently encountered challenges on the platform, raising questions about the nature of content moderation and policy enforcement on Twitch.
