While some bans can be extensive, and force streamers off the platform for a long period of time, fans of the Norwegian streamer won’t have to wait long for his return to regularly scheduled content.
In reply to a tweet from fellow streamer Strippin, Knut confirms that his ban from the platform will last for two days. It’s definitely a short ban in comparison to some others that get levied against streamers, but Knut isn’t looking forward to the “vacation” Same Thorne insinuates. Knut’s reply reads “2 days off will be hard :(“.
