Controversial streamer IShowSpeed hits 10 million mark on YouTube

After receiving the permanent ban hammer from the Amazon-owned platform way back in December 2021, the Ohio-based streamer moved to YouTube for his future streams. Fast-forward to the present, it took the YouTube powerhouse less than eight months to hit the 10 million milestone on his primary channel.

As one can already imagine, despite having such an impressive journey, IShowSpeed has faced his fair share of controversies. From being blatantly banned from Valorant to his highly controversial sexist outbursts, the YouTuber has consistently been at the center of negative comments.

However, with sheer determination towards content creation and a firm goal set by himself, IShowSpeed's fans banded together and pushed him over the threshold. The YouTuber managed to reach the 10 million mark on YouTube shortly after lamenting his ban from the platform. For context, the suspension was imposed for showcasing graphic content during a Minecraft stream.

The achievement arrived six hours after Speed's emotional reaction to the ban. Delighted and humbled by the support, the YouTuber thanked his viewers and hopped onto his official Instagram account to celebrate the marvelous achievement.
