Why was LeafyIsHere banned from YouTube?

The content creator’s most recent controversy involved a diss video which was aimed at popular Twitch streamer Pokimane (Imane Anys). Leafy had uploaded a number of videos on the platform where he was seen mocking Pokimane for her content, and her appearance. He also spoke about her personal life and mocked her fans.

While YouTube hasn’t specified the exact reason surrounding the ban, this is believed to be the main reason behind the suspension. According to various content creators, his YouTube channel was only suspended after a total of three violations of the company’s harassment policy within the last three months.

ESports Consultant and Insider Rod Breslau also confirmed that Leafy was banned from the platform for severe violations of YouTube’s policy on threats, harassment, and bullying.
