Twitch and Kick streamer Felix "xQc" has taken a rather mysterious step today by either voluntarily deactivating or having his Instagram account (@xqcow1) removed. It remains uncertain whether this action was initiated by him or the platform itself. At the time of his Instagram profile removal, the streamer had a whopping 570K followers.

As one of the most prominent figures on the internet, Felix's Instagram account deactivation swiftly circulated among his extensive fan base. This development has sparked widespread speculation about the potential motivations behind this decision.

One user suggested that the streamer might be in the process of getting his account verified, which could potentially explain a glitch or issue. However, this remains unconfirmed at the moment:
