One of the most entertaining and controversial Twitch streamers “Dellor” is now switching to YouTube Gaming. He angrily claims that Twitch has manipulated, lied, and tricked him for an entire year.
Who is Dellor? 32-year-old Matt “Dellor” Vaughn is a former Overwatch pro. He crashed his career in 2017 when he said the N-word live in front of an audience. He then tried his hand at streaming, which initially worked remarkably well.
He quickly got Twitch partnership, but lost it even faster. This time for the less critical reason of having said a female player should make him a sandwich. Twitch unbanned Dellor and seemingly gave him the chance to regain his affiliate status: at least that’s what Vaughn claims, as there has never been an official statement from Twitch.
Dellor does not regain partner status and switches to YouTube
This is what Twitch promised: The content that streamer Dellor produces is not liked by everyone: outbursts of anger, borderline jokes, and often slightly to heavily racist behavior. With the no-filter principle, Dellor was able to excite many fans.
But this also led to his multiple bans on Twitch as well as a supposedly permanent ban last year. Dellor was forced to switch to the competing YouTube Gaming, where he was able to win many old and new fans again.
However, he himself reached out to Twitch and requested the unblocking of his account. According to Dellor, the platform astonishingly agreed — under one condition. Dellor was to behave for a full year and adhere to the guidelines, only then would he regain his partner status.
Dellor did just that, streamed on Twitch again last year instead of YouTube, and probably looked forward to the full renaissance of his Twitch career. Unfortunately, he got ahead of himself.
Here’s why the final switch is happening: Dellor is now speaking out on Twitter with a roughly two-minute video after Twitch has shattered his hopes of a return.
I know I have said terrible things in the past and deserved punishment as well. […] But there is a difference between someone who is punished and someone who is manipulated, lied to, and deceived. That has happened to me.

Dellor continues to report that he has streamed regularly for a year without violating a single Twitch guideline.
I streamed only for Twitch for a year and have now reached out to Twitch again because of the promise. They told me that this is no longer possible.
Thus, Dellor has refocused all his attention back to YouTube and turned his back on Twitch. His account is still not a partner, and therefore Matt “Dellor” Vaughn may well remain a permanent streamer on YouTube.
