Sneako has criticised YouTube for its decision to ban IShowSpeed while not taking similar action against Ava Kris Tyson. 

IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr., was temporarily banned from YouTube after livestreaming a dangerous stunt involving jumps over a Lamborghini and a McLaren on 3 August.

Despite disclaimers advising viewers not to replicate the stunt, YouTube cited a violation of Community Guidelines and suspended his main channel, which has over 27 million subscribers.

In a video addressing his fans, IShowSpeed expressed his regret over the ban. 

Sneako, who previously amassed over 2 million subscribers on YouTube before being terminated for repeated community guideline violations, highlighted what he sees as a double standard. 

He pointed out that Ava Kris Tyson, a former co-host on MrBeast's channel, has not faced similar consequences despite allegations of inappropriate conversations with minors.

"But they don’t ban Chris Tyson," Sneako remarked.

Sneako, now a Rumble streamer, continues to voice his opinions on the platform.
