ExtraEmily wurde auf Twitch wegen eines Beinahe-Unfalls gebannt.

The streamer ExtraEmily has repeatedly attracted attention on Twitch for reckless driving. Now she has received a forced break from streaming, but only for one day.

How does the Twitch streamer endanger others? The Twitch streamer ExtraEmily streams for her nearly 1 million followers on Twitch, primarily in the IRL category, taking her fans along on her adventures. She is often on the road with her car and streams during that time. Because of her stream, she is frequently distracted, leading to near-accidents.

This does not only happen when ExtraEmily is behind the wheel, but there are also situations where she rides her bicycle against parked cars or simply walks on without paying attention to her surroundings because she is chatting with her audience.

In one of the streamer’s recent clips, she wants to merge back into traffic but does not check her blind spot and nearly crashes into another driver.

A 1-day ban seems quite mild in light of ExtraEmily’s past with her many near-accidents while driving. Many voices in the community share this view. Under a Reddit post, the ban by Twitch is being discussed.

CosignTangents writes, for example: Seriously, Twitch is such a joke when it comes to punishing its “Golden Boys” and “Golden Girls” (Source: Reddit) and WhatsThePointToName adds: Honestly: Why does Twitch even bother? A one-day ban is just a free day, and they will learn nothing from it (Source: Reddit).
