PROOF Twitch is Playing Preferential Treatment!

Original Full Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDkBUuHNTwM

Supppp people! I was a twitch viewer for the last 2 years, almost 3 in August, and viewing every single day. I started to stream back in August 2018 just for fun here and there. I planned to do a travel stream for a 30 day trip in Tokyo, Japan between April 10th to May 10th… daily stream too. But sadly I was indefinitely suspended from Twitch.tv for "Making violent threats" on May 4th. I appealed the ban immediately. Appeal response from Twitch received on May 10th with no additional details other than "Your account was suspended for threatening violence against another person, with the intent to harm or kill." 

The only thing that I could think came close to a "violent threat", especially if it’s misinterpreted and did not see any of the context was when I was defending myself to generally stating I would break anyone's nose if they touched me at Twitch-con. (Inferred as touching me in a threatening and harmful way). When I stated this on live stream the chat was trolling me enough to trigger this defensive statement. And I did not specifically target anyone in the chat, even though they (the trolls) were all alt accounts. 

I'm not a snowflake to trolls, so yes, I decided to not ban them and use them for content. I know Twitch TOS very well but I misinterpreted the way Twitch defined "violent threat" included self-defense. So prior to the ban, I was as careful as humanly possible with my words and assumed my words in self-defense would be completely fine. After the ban I learned my words were a bit too descriptive and could have been the reasoning behind what triggered the ban. So if I said I will defend myself and that’s it, I am likely to not have been banned. From my experience as a viewer I didn’t think my wording was or would have been an issue at all.
In the video I go over prime examples of what I mean by others doing worse either with threats and acts of violence on live stream and did not receive a ban or got a 30 day ban. I went over the obvious pros and cons of how the TOS enforcement is on Twitch, and how to fix certain issues with the system.
Explain how is the current state of how Twitch bans are being processed. Each one will have a pro/con in the perspective for Twitch business, and suggestions for a fix.
