Dr Disrespect makes over $20K in donations despite YouTube denying partner application
Dr Disrespect’s YouTube was demonetized after the creator revealed the reason behind his 2020 Twitch ban, but his Streamlabs page shows that he’s doing just fine.
On July 13, 2025, four years after he was famously permanently banned from Twitch, Dr Disrespect confessed in a now-deleted post on Twitter/X thathe was banned after inappropriately messaging a minor on the platform.
The streamer saw quite the fallout from his confession, as major brands like Turtle Beach, theSan Francisco 49ers, and even his game studioMidnight Society cut ties with Doc.
HisYouTube channel was demonetizedas well, buthe was able to reapply for the YouTube Partner Programjust weeks after returning from an extended hiatus. Dr Disrespect’s application was denied on October 25, but the streamersays he’ll be able to apply again after waiting 60 days.
Doc’s managed to keep a steady flow of income coming in despite not being monetized on YouTube, however, ashis Streamlabs tip pagereveals a staggering amount of donations.
As of writing, Doc’s top donation for October is a staggering $5,000 followed by two donations of over $4,000 each. Rounding out the top five is a donation of $2,761 and $1,550. Altogether, Dr Disrespect has received over $20,144 in donations.
And that’s just the top donors. There are undoubtedly dozens more fans sending Doc money through the Streamlabs website, in much smaller amounts than the $355 given to him by number 10 on his list.
Donations from fans aren’t the only way Dr Disrespect has made money over the month, either. He launched anew line of merch on October 25, leaving fans excited.
