YouTube has denied the man “Dr Disrespect” Beahm’s appeal to monetize his channel for an additional 60 days.

Meanwhile, Beahm cannot earn revenue from subscriptions or ads on his channel, which has 4.5 million subscribers.
“Actually, the champions, unfortunately, pushed it back another 60 days,” Beahm said. “Believe it or not, they waited until the last second night to tell us, uh, ‘we’re committed to, uh, extending, just for another 60 days, and the next one you’ll be eligible.’ to reapply and we’ll evaluate the application.”
“But you know what, Champs? Okay. Then let’s wait another 60 days.”
He then said he had something “something much, much bigger” in the works, “one of the biggest opportunities to date,” but didn’t elaborate (thanks, TheGamer).
In June, Beahm admitted to behavior that “leaned too far toward the inappropriate” with a minor. In June, Twitch’s soon-to-be former account director of strategic partnerships, Cody Conners, claimed that an anonymous person had been blocked from streaming. platform “because [he] “I was caught texting a minor.” These accusations were immediately linked to Beahm.
Since that admission, Robert Bowling, co-founder of developer Middle of the Night Public with Beahm, has distanced himself from the streamer and many long-time partners have terminated their commitments. But now, just a short distance from the spotlight, an agitated Beahm returned in a combative YouTube show in which he repeatedly accused Conners and “so-called journalists” of a “planned and coordinated attack.” All of this, Beahm admitted, came before a September 25 “opportunity” to reapply for a YouTube partnership and re-monetize his channel… which we now know has been denied.
