He posts comedic videos where he critiques movies, influencer behavior, and popular <keyword id="24504" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="culture">culture</keyword> trends.On May 5 <a href="https://twitter.com/kurtisconner/status/1257712776157507587" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conner tweeted</a> that one of his older videos where he called out a dangerous prank had been removed for violating YouTube's community guidelines. He was confused because he saw that some of the videos he had been criticizing were still available to view."The gist of the video was me talking about a certain couple on Instagram who made these videos about the guy giving his girlfriend this 'female Viagra' and I was saying how ridiculous and harmful it is to be showing that on the internet," Conner told Insider."When doing research on this topic, I saw that this couple, in particular, wasn't the only couple participating in this trend."He said he was baffled by the fact there was a video of a man effectively drugging his girlfriend without her consent, and people either didn't have a problem with it or found it funny."Even if the videos were fake, it's still a pretty harmful thing to be putting it online and showing it to an impressionable audience," he said.Conner tweeted about his video being taken down with some screenshots of the videos that were still live on YouTube. The TeamYouTube Twitter account <a href="https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1258435520415305734" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded to Conner</a>, saying they removed the videos in question.They also stood firm on the decision to keep his video offline, saying it "didn't meet the bar to stay on the platform because it still has the potential to put people at risk.""They said that they don't allow 'harmful <keyword id="71788" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="pranks">pranks</keyword>' to be shown on their platform, but I wasn't doing any pranks," Conner said. "I was saying how harmful the pranks were, but the actual pranks are still up on YouTube, which makes no sense to me."Many of Conner's videos follow this theme of condemning behaviors that he thinks could be problematic. In a recent one, <a href="https://www.insider.com/youtuber-calls-out-tiktok-stars-for-prank-about-domestic-violence-2019-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he called out a disturbing trend</a> where YouTuber couples would "prank" their friends into thinking they were in abusive relationships by pretending to hit each other, and even use fake blood.Conner said he was "blown away by the sheer insanity" of it, and couldn't believe such content was allowed on YouTube. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp0pIOZ7FLA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The video was set to private</a> by the user who posted it, Sebastian Bails, rather than being removed by the platform.The appeals process seems to be lacking, as many creators feel like they are left in the dark if their content is removed."It's frustrating because on the creator's side, there's not much we can do after an appeal is filed," he said. "We just have to hope that our reasoning somehow changes their mind, and it rarely does."This is the first time any of his videos have actually been taken down, although some have been flagged as non-advertiser friendly in the past and demonetized."I totally understand the age restriction on that video, I thought that was a fair decision and assumed it would end there," he said. "But I guess not."Creators have long thought their content is <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/10/17268102/youtube-demonetization-pewdiepie-logan-paul-casey-neistat-philip-defranco" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demonetized and removed for seemingly inconsistent reasons</a>.

"I don't want those pranks on YouTube either. I think critique should be allowed and even encouraged, not removed if I'm talking about a controversial topic."A YouTube rep responded to Insider's request for comment saying they would look into the situation.Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/youtuber-calls-out-tiktok-stars-for-prank-about-domestic-violence-2019-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A YouTuber called out 2 TikTok stars for a prank where they pretended to be in a violent, abusive relationship</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/youtubers-identify-title-words-that-get-videos-demonetized-experiment-2019-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTubers have identified a long list of words that immediately get videos demonetized, and they include 'gay' and 'lesbian' but not 'straight' or 'heterosexual'</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/youtuber-tricks-carole-baskin-into-first-interview-since-tiger-king-2020-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTubers tricked Carole Baskin into giving her first major interview since 'Tiger King' by pretending to be Jimmy Fallon</a>Read the original article on <a href="https://www.insider.com/a-youtubers-video-criticizing-a-toxic-prank-was-removed-before-the-prank-videos-2020-5">Insider</a>

Influenced by the popularity of the mustached alpha bro DrDisrespect, Henning joining random Fortnite groups and preached the word of god, whether his teammates wanted to hear it or not. Dressed in a black button-up and an orange tie, his image is eye-catching if not dramatic.Over the next five months, he amassed over 140,000 followers on the platform, who would watch him tell random teenagers and strangers not to say the lord's name in vain or that they need to repent for their sins. His TikTok grew alongside his Twitch fame, reaching over 350,000 followers in just the latter half of the year.In July of 2020, Hennig received his first suspension for seven days on Twitch. The action came after telling a young Muslim person in his game that "if you were to die in your sins today, you would be sentenced to hell."In a Twitter video, Hennig says that sometime after his first ban, his Twitch account did receive another 7-day suspension for <a href="https://twitter.com/DrWitnesser/status/1367203947841282053">currently unknown reasons.</a>An indefinite ban would come Hennig's way in January 2021, for "engaging in hateful conduct against a person or group of people" according to a message he received from Twitch. In a now-deleted tweet, Hennig wrote "Twitch has yet again showed they have no tolerance for a #Christian streamer who preaches what the #Bible teaches. They are a bias, hypocritical organization that shoves their agenda down everyone's throats."After his <keyword id="10877221" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="twitch-ban">Twitch ban</keyword>, the preacher moved over to controversial platform DLIve before transitioning to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ4QU73e3J41NqWd4Y-5JXw">YouTube</a> where he has 14,000 subscribers. His clips would still gain the attention of critics, with YouTuber Kurtis Conner sharing a video about the DrWitnesser streams to his 2.9 million subscribers."My guess is he plays Fortnite to get to these kids when they are young and impressionable and scared," Conner says in the video. "It's really gross, it's really f--- weird man."On Sunday, Hennig announced on Twitter that he is planning on suing Twitch for "unlawful termination of my Twitch account on the basis of religious discrimination." The screenshot he shared features the Superior Court of California and the county of San Francisco, which currently does not have a lawsuit on file under Hennig or the DrWitnesser name. The streamer also tweeted that he is looking to find the <a href="https://twitter.com/DrWitnesser/status/1367515890774904842">"right firm for legal representation." </a>Hennig did not respond to a request for comment.
