A Twitch account associated with Mizkif was hit with a temporary 24-hour suspension after a Kick link appeared in the channel title. The ban notice cited “driving traffic to other competing platforms” as the reason for enforcement.
The violation came down to placement. Having a Kick link in the stream title crosses a line for Twitch because titles are high-visibility real estate. They appear across discovery surfaces like the directory, search results, and recommendations. Using that space to redirect viewers to a competing platform basically means using Twitch’s own discovery system to funnel traffic away.
Twitch allows streamers to link other platforms in certain contexts. Social media links in channel panels are generally fine. But the platform draws a harder line when it comes to competitor promotion in titles, pinned chat messages, or overlays. The enforcement reflects Twitch’s sensitivity to creators using its infrastructure to build audiences elsewhere.
The banned account is an alt channel rather than Mizkif’s main Twitch presence. Don’t worry, he’s still up to his usual degeneracy over on Kick.
The 24-hour duration marks this as a minor slap on the wrist rather than serious account action. Twitch typically issues these short suspensions for first-time or lower-severity policy violations. The account would be back up within a day.
