Twitch streamer pledges to try and get banned every day until Korea shutdown
A Korean Twitch streamer has claimed she will attempt to get banned from the platform every day until the site goes down in the country.
Twitch previously announced that its platform would cease operations in South Korea onFebruary 27th, citing “prohibitively expensive costs” as the main reason.
The surprise move was met with wide condemnation from the Korean streaming community, with streamer HAchubby being reduced to tears by the news, saying: “I probably need to move to YouTube, and I’m not sure how many viewers are following me.”
However, one streamer had quite a different reaction, instead pledging that she would wreak havoc on the site as long as she still had the chance.
