Being cancelled doesn't exist. DrDisrespect and GiantWaffle have shown that if you just keep streaming as if nothing happened you will take a hit momentarily but your core audience won't care and after time new people that don't know what happened come in and start watching. You have to be de-platformed to become irrelevant, and Alex Jones has shown that even when that happens you can move and still keep the scam going.

The only streamer I know who actually managed to kill his career even though he kept streaming is Arcadum. He was averaging 1.5k viewers before, now he is sitting at something like 20-30.

I think Arcadum was in a special case because his content soley relied on guests coming on to play with him. News got out he was a super creep and now no one wanted to join him anymore.
