StreamerBans, a popular service that automatically tracks disciplinary actions taken against streamers, recently stirred up a buzz with a clever April Fools’ prank on its official X account. In a lighthearted tweet, the bot humorously announced that Dan Clancy, the CEO of Twitch, had been banned from the platform.
Clancy, who engages with the community through his own Twitch account, DJClancy—with a following of 63,000—remains active on the platform, and the account is still operational.
The prank generated significant interaction, reflecting the account’s vast audience of 635,000 followers on X. Many users were quick to respond with humor and surprise.
“W APRIL FOOLS,”@StickzNPuck wrote.
“This April fools joke had me cryin,”@YETABOi posted.
“Baited u got me,”@death_bee_ admitted.
Meanwhile, some users humorously speculated about the implications of the “ban.” They linked it to Twitch’s recent decision to reinstate popular streamer Adin Ross, suggesting Clancy’s supposed action was a response to the revived presence of Ross on the platform.
“Traded Adin Ross for the CEO,”@AdinRossEmpire observed.
“No way Adin’s unban had so much of an impact that even the CEO couldn’t handle his aura so he had to ban himself,”@Agtesnx commented.
“Deserves it for banning Adin in the first place,”@luanaxbelle expressed.
What Did StreamerBans’ Link Direct Users To?
True to the bot’s automated format, each post from StreamerBans typically includes a link to the streamer’s ban history on the StreamerBans website. Users can click through to see details of any actions taken against the account.
However, in a twist, the link in the April Fools’ joke did not lead to the expected ban page. Instead, it redirected users to a YouTube video featuring the song “Stolen Chat (El no Sabe)”from Row Sauce Studios. This track is a Twitch-themed remix of “Stolen Dance”by Milky Chance.
