Like millions of other gaming stars, Fedmyster spends most of his time on one of the largest live streaming platforms, Twitch. Like his contemporaries, he takes his time to explore, engage with his fans, and then connect with other users on the streaming space.
While it is true that Twitch basically allows its users to explore their interests in areas like music, cooking, gaming, chat shows, artwork creation and more, Fedmyster is very popular for his IRL streaming (In Real Life Streaming) and content creation.

As a child, the American sensation was very much interested in soccer and video games.

Why Was He Banned From Twitch?
Twitch is not the only the go-to platform for gamers, it is also a powerful platform to broadcast one’s personalized contents and have the fastest connection with other users. As an IRL streamer, Fedmyster relays his real-life activities on Twitch and it was on one of the days he was streaming that he got himself into trouble, leading to his suspension from the platform.
Fedmyster was touring around Japan when the incident occurred. He had a night out with JakenbakeLIVE (a fellow IRL twitch streamer) on the said night and was later seen with a traffic cone on his head stumbling around.
The late-night broadcast captured a seemingly drunk Gaytan swinging his arms widely as he bounced down an alley. Unable to clearly see where he was heading, the Los Angeles sensation bumped into a vending kiosk and knocked down two wooden doors protecting the kiosk. Immediately, JakenbakeLIVE turned away the camera from Fedmsyter, admitting to viewers online that it was not a good sight.
Although the kiosk’s doors were later placed back, Twitch subscribed to JakenbakeLIVE’s sentiment and ended up banning Fedmyster’s account for 14 days. The Twitch star later apologized to his fans and promised not to let them down again.
