xQc stays positive despite Instagram ban

During his livestream, xQc revealed that his Instagram account was banned for allegedly violating the platform's Terms of Service (TOS), saying, “The Insta account is banned for, [...] suspended for terms of service usage.”

xQc vehemently defended his usage of Instagram, stating that he had always maintained a very mild and appropriate presence on the platform, emphasizing that it was one of the most benign uses of a social platform one could find. He expressed confusion at the ban, asserting that it made no logical sense. 

xQc added, “Like I'm chill, I write nice things. I post pictures. There's like I do literally nothing wrong in that platform. So it being banned for like T Os doesn't make any sense at all.”

xQc went on to dub his Instagram page as an exemplar of how the platform should be utilized, even suggesting humorously that someone might have bribed an Instagram employee to have it banned. He assured his audience that the ban didn't bother him, as he had connections at the Instagram office, and reversing the ban was a straightforward matter.

xQc further added, “The accounts are used exactly like, like they would want, and it can be used. It's like a role model in usage. So like, it's not just somebody who just paid the f**king like literally, it's like somebody who literally just pays the f**king employee to be something like that or some, some shit. Which, like I said, I don't really care that much about.”

While concluding, xQc expressed satisfaction with the ban, stating that it presented an opportunity to acquire a new Instagram handle and have it verified. He concluded by revealing his intention to communicate with Instagram employees to both reinstate his account and secure a verified status for the new handle simultaneously.

He further added, “I'll probably use the opportunity probably get to get a new handle and also get it verified. So, if anything that was actually kind of good, you know, I, once I actually care about it and, and talk to employees, I'll just, I might as well do it all at the same time.”
