xQc admits to attending "streamer therapy" with Twitch's Head of Creator Development

During a recent stream, xQc reacted to a Twitter thread regarding content creators on the platform watching old episodes of reality TV shows like MasterChef on their channel.

For the past few weeks, shows like MasterChef have been a major meta on Just Chatting streams. Content creators like xQc and HasanAbi have made a killing by reacting to them on their stream.

The thread spoke about the possibility of streamers getting into DMCA trouble from people who hold the licenses to the show. Many streamers have fallen prey to license holders for playing certain music on their streams. So it shouldn't be far fetched for creators like HasanAbi and xQc to land in trouble for watching MasterChef on stream.

These points were echoed in a Twitter thread by none other than Marcus Graham, whose more commonly known to Twitch fans as djWheat. Graham has been Twitch's Head of Creator Development for the past few years, and it seems like he believes these creators might get into trouble soon.

While reacting to djWheat's tweet, xQc had some nice things to say about him, and revealed that he had been part of a "streamer therapy" session with djWheat.

"Back in the day when I got banned, Twitch said that as part of me being unbanned… I had to get like a streamer therapy type of thing.”

He further explained:

"I had to agree to one session or couple of sessions of streamer reform therapy, and this was my therapist."

xQc further noted that the session involved a discussion where he and djWheat spoke about the issues that led to his ban.

"He was nice though, it was like a 'Oh, you understand like why you were banned and why is that bad' type of discussion. It was like an hour and a half long. It was a super anonymous type thing."

With Twitch trying to curb many of its problems with creators, it makes sense that djWheat has needed to provide "therapy sessions" to streamers like xQc. With the way the platform has handed out bans recently, xQc might not be the only popular content creator who was part of such meetings.
