Average Harry has been going through a rough patch which started in October 2020. A video of Harry crying after being mocked by a bunch of strangers on live stream went viral.

“I have just been permabanned on Twitch,” AverageHarry said,  “For anyone wondering, this is why.’’  He shared a previous tweet, which included a screenshot of the email he received when they denied his application. “You’ve listed your age as 15, although this doesn’t appear to align with your account details,” Twitch says in the email, “Please get in touch with Twitch support in order to see whether you can update your birthday to be accurate. Otherwise, you may need to make a new account with correct details.”

Average Harry has no plans of giving up. Harry could try and get his ban reversed if he could gather enough people to support him. It seems unlikely, however, given Twitch policies. Twitch doesn't want to make exceptions for anyone or set bad examples, as per many reports. He is getting a lot of support on social media and a lot of young followers are supporting him. It remains to be seen what Twitch will ultimately decide.
