As a gamer with years of experience under my belt and countless hours spent in front of screens, I can’t help but be amazed by the resilience and charisma of Dr Disrespect. Despite the controversies that have dogged him, he has managed to maintain a strong following on YouTube, ranking second among US gaming streamers last month with over 2.2 million watch hours.


As a devoted admirer, I can confidently say that, as per the latest stats, I’ve been tuning into YouTube alongside countless others to catch Dr Disrespect’s top-tier streams in October. Despite the ongoing debates and controversies surrounding him, it’s heartening to witness his dedicated fanbase standing by him, keeping his YouTube channel thriving since his triumphant return to streaming.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but share some news that surfaced in late June 2024 about our beloved Dr Disrespect, or Herschel Beahm IV online. In an unfortunate turn of events from 2017, he admitted to sending inappropriate messages to a minor, leading him to take a break from streaming and losing numerous sponsorships. However, after a two-month hiatus that Beahm referred to as his “vacation,” the streamer made a comeback on YouTube on September 6. Despite still being demonetized on YouTube, it seems viewers have warmly welcomed his return, as a recent chart suggests.

In the gaming realm of October 2024, I found myself trailing just behind IShowSpeed and TimTheTatman as far as most-watched US YouTube streamers go, according to Streams Charts. IShowSpeed held the top spot with a whopping 3.08 million watch hours, while TimTheTatman came in third with 1.09 million. However, I managed an impressive 2.2 million watch hours!

Dr Disrespect Is YouTube’s Second Most-Watched Gaming Streamer

Dr Disrespect has indicated that he plans to rejoin YouTube’s Partner Program again. He believes the platform will allow him another chance approximately 60 days from now, which would be around late December. Although Dr Disrespect remains well-known on YouTube following his comeback, many other creators and businesses have chosen to distance themselves from him indefinitely. The Midnight Society has publicly stated that they do not expect Dr Disrespect to return to the company, despite his assertions that it might happen eventually. As a result of the controversy surrounding Dr Disrespect, the studio experienced a wave of layoffs, causing them to postpone the release of their vertical extraction shooter game, “Deadrop,” until 2025.

Achieving top positions on streaming platforms is no walk in the park, but Dr Disrespect has shown impressive performance over the past month. The content creator is expected to maintain a substantial viewer base on YouTube in the coming months, as he has made it clear that he intends to stay put on the platform rather than migrating to Kick or other rivals. Whether he can hold his ground in YouTube’s top positions or even climb higher is yet to be determined.
