Streamer and YouTuber Jack Doherty never had a reputation for being the most considerate and cautious content creator. Now even Kick thinks he took it one step too far when he decided to stream while speeding on a highway in his sports car. Doherty’s stunt failed dramatically when his McLaren crashed during the stream.
This reckless behavior didn’t just put his own life at risk—it endangered everyone on the road that day. He has since been condemned by streaming fans on and off the platform and will likely also face legal issues.
Kick has already hit Doherty with a permanent ban. The platform, often criticized for its lax moderation, has finally drawn a line for life-threatening content.
Even though it might be just a matter of time before Doherty’s back online, the platform is doing the right thing by swinging the ban hammer. Just a few weeks ago, iShowSpeed risked his life in a stunt where he jumped over several driving cars. YouTube did not take any actions against the streamer back then.
For young viewers who might be tempted to mimic their favorite streamers, this incident serves as a stark reminder to only stream in safe environments. Fans are now curious to see how the crash and its aftermath will play out for Doherty.
The content creator will most likely be forced to take a break from streaming and also face legal consequences for his behavior. However, this probably wasn’t the last time a streamer risked their life for clout.
