So is DrDisrespect moving to YouTube, or signing any type of exclusivity deal? We can't say for sure, unfortunately, as no official announcement has been made.

However, according to industry insider Rod "Slasher" Breslau, DrDisrespect won't be signing any deal with YouTube. This information comes from a Twitch co-stream with Hasan Piker, where Rod "Slasher" Breslau talked about the situation.

Mr Breslau explained: "No one is talking to Dr Disrespect. YouTube is not talking to Dr Disrespect, that discussion [on joining]… I can confirm that has not happened,”

Further, Mr Breslau added he heard YouTube already feels in a "pretty good" position with their current signings, which of course, includes Tyler "Ninja" Blevins after the Mixer shutdown announcement.
