"Banned because of a joke"

Where's the joke?

Also a temporary ban. "Leftist Extremism", or just "capitalism where advertisers have content expectations". If "just shouting insults into the void" is jokes, I fear a bit for the future.

"It's an AI!" is not really much of an excuse! You're the one generating garbage and throwing it onto Twitch, it's your responsibility to figure out what's going on.

There are definitely more nefarious things out there on the platform in general, just funny how every rant about "leftist" bans fails the most basic scrutiny.
