Twitch streamer Jon Zherka has finally been unbanned from Twitch. Known for his IRL streams and gaming content, his loyal fanbase includes those who have been following him since he started his channel in 2019.
On March 22, Zherka was banned on the Amazon-owned platform, but details were few and far between. Just a month later, the streamer revealed that he was banned on Twitch for viewing a photo of a girl in a bikini for “too long,” per GameRant.

Zherka called out the platform over hypocrisy amid the hot tub meta. He expressed his frustration at the platform once again after hot tub streamer Amouranth was unbanned from Twitch after just three days without streaming amid the controversial ASMR practices.

“How am I still banned…” Zherka tweeted. After a three-month hiatus, his channel was finally reactivated on June 26. During his timeout, he created some content for his YouTube channel but was highly inconsistent.

Taking to his Twitter account a week after his ban, Zherka revealed that his mental health is getting worse. “Going from 15 hour days with my chat to being alone and at the bottom of my mental health is actually the deepest low I’ve ever felt,” he said.
Going from 15 hour days with my chat to being alone and at the bottom of my mental health is actually the deepest low I’ve ever felt. I’m too depressed to cry and I always feel like puking. I haven’t been banned for a year and a half… I know people who get banned 6 times a year

Zherka hasn’t publicly responded to his unban. However, fans are hoping to see him return to streaming soon. His unban shows that Twitch doesn’t forget about long-banned streamers, but it still seems unlikely that we will see Dr Disrespect return to the platform.
