100%. If you are using streaming as your main revenue you better make sure you are following ToS and any other policy's. If not you don't get a free pass to do whatever you want(although Twitch does let a LOT of stuff get through the cracks)

You all clown on this guy, but have you considered that he has way more followers than you?

Wow what a piece of shit comment.
"We're better than you and are more important." Not surprised.

This kind of thinking is what leads celebrities, athletes, and politicians to believe they are above the law.
You break the rules, you get fired. Sorry, that's just how that shit works, no matter what job you ahae.
He should really know that being popular only means regular laws don't apply to you, internet laws still do.
The fact that people make money of something should mean they should treat that thing with more respect and follow it's rules more closely, not the opposite.
Yep. If anything, the influential person should deserve the harsher punishment as they are essentially introducing beginners (followers) into a practice that is disallowed.
The guy who wouldn't stream with women out of fear of compromising his relationship has more shitty opinions? Shocking.
You can't ban me for a DUI! I'm a delivery driver! I'm not like all those idiots driving for 'fun'.
The only way this is going to work is if developers create a separate sandbox for content creators to go nuts in with different supported rule-sets for entertainment purposes.
Until then, this just sounds like a shitty 1% claiming the rules doesn't apply to him and his.

This is a poor take on it, though personally their ban system is out of proportion. This guy got a permanent ban which is fair I don't dispute that but the guys cheating in the Fortnite tournaments got disqualified and suspended for two weeks. It should just be a permanent ban for stuff like this.
Don't do stupid things & you won't get banned. I could see an argument for reducing the ban to a few months or something, but of course people should get banned if they cheat and make a video showing off what using the software looks like, as it encourages further cheating. Ninja stays ignorant it appears :P
Ninja responds to Green Man Gaming's article
Whether playing a game is a career to you or not is no one else's problem but your own. The consequences should be the same for everybody or it's not a game worth playing.
I'd love for this dipshit to lose all of his followers (and somehow money) for this shitty attitude. It's not like he exactly "worked hard" for them...show some appreciation and grace for the fact that you've been given this position for playing video games on camera - you're not better than anyone else.
Jesus.
Jesus.
Everyone wants their children to get a good education, but at the same time they're allowing them to watch and be influenced by idiots like this.
Screw the so-called 'dangers' of horror movies, violent games and sexual content, it's the Ninja's and Logan Pauls of the world that should get a warning label.
"Warning, irresponsible self-indulging idiot! Will try to harm your kids brain for profit."

I agree with Ninja. No one should be fired or lose money for breaking the rules at their job. I mean sure some people were killed when that bridge I designed collapsed because I ignored standards and regulations but I might lose my income!
Fuck that. People of power and influence should absolutely be held to the same standards as us normal lowly folk. What a stupid thing to say.
Yea I agree with him. Content creators need to push boundaries and a minor slip up can put them out of work for good. I also think they shouldn't be held accountable for racist comments and hate speech. Like under the stress and stuff they should be able to blurt out whatever they want like that guys gay and stuff. Like it's obviously wrong but their livelihood is at stake and we should be supportive. Also beating their wives. I heard an awful story that a guy hit his wife on stream with his baby in the background and got banned. Such a shame he was a great content creator and this really shouldn't happen.
Hopefully Ninja's sound words reach the right people and start changing the world for the better.

This is a poor comment, I mean he was for quite some time essentially doing 15 hour days of streaming. That is not what I would call easy work and doing it everyday would be exhausting.
