HasanAbi is back on Twitch following a brief suspension that lasted a whopping three days. The streamer was reportedly shortened from an initial seven-day suspension after Hasan Piker appealed the decision.
Twitch has not publicly disclosed the specific reason for the suspension, but the ban came after his comments about “Zionist-pigs.” The platform typically provides enforcement details privately to creators while keeping public-facing explanations limited.
The ban appears to have been reduced through Twitch’s usual appeals process. The platform allows creators to challenge enforcement actions and can adjust suspension lengths after review. This suggests the original violation was deemed less severe upon appeal.
Piker didn’t stay offline during his Twitch suspension. He streamed on YouTube instead and reportedly pulled significant viewership numbers during the platform switch.
The YouTube streams generated substantial donations. Reports indicate Piker raised between $15,000 and $18,000 in a single Friday stream. He stated the money would go to immigration advocacy groups, specifically mentioning the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights in Los Angeles.
Piker has built one of Twitch’s largest political commentary channels through daily news analysis and long-form streams. He previously worked at The Young Turks before establishing his streaming career.
