It's yes to both. Early in his streaming on YT, he bitched about how much he missed how much easier it was to moderate his twitch chat compared to his YT chat, because he knew how easy it was to make new accounts and still troll him. Plus prior to gifted memberships, he struggled to even reach 200 members without insane amounts of suspicious bot like accounts individually following him and then never making any other appearances. His labelling it "organic growth" comes from him being asshurt over people pointing this out constantly.does he not realize it's easy to makes socks on youtube, or does he just like to larp a powertrip by banning people. I'm confused.
His love of banning people in his chat comes from the fact that it's the only form of power he has in his life. He does it because he genuinely hopes people will come crawling to him with an apology, thinking that it will curb trolling him in chat. It's a holdover from his time on twitch and as his hopes for gifted memberships shows us, he did prefer streaming on twitch and is why he is still so pissed over being kicked from partnership.
