Bjorn TV

Bjørn Lisdorf, or simply Bjorn, is a Danish former YouTuber, live streamer, and internet personality, mainly known in the vlogging genre. After becoming close friends with the American streamer Ice Poseidon, and rising to fame, Lisdorf was featured in Danish newspapers, such as Weekendavisen, and international news sites.
==Early Life==
Prior to becoming a well-known streamer, Bjørn Lisdorf worked for a postal service and as a driver for L'EASY, a Danish consumer goods company. Outside of work, he was an avid chess player, footballer, and photographer.
== Streaming career ==
===Twitch===
Lisdorf started his streaming career on Twitch in 2012, where he was a popular streamer for the game, Entropia Universe, and a variety of other games. Under the moniker, pealla, he hoped that streaming could supplement his job for the postal service. However, due to financial cuts in the workplace, Bjorn would lose his job. Lisdorf tried to compensate for the loss of his career by taking out a loan of 70,000 DKK, and risked it on gambling. However, this plan did not succeed, and Lisdorf would later close his online gambling accounts. Shortly afterwards, Bjorn would hear about the success of Ice Poseidon (real name Paul Denino), an American IRL streamer that had recently been banned from Twitch. As Ice Poseidon would actively encourage his viewers to visit him, Lisdorf made his way to Los Angeles and became a part of the community.
=== YouTube ===
In 2018, Bjorn transitioned from Twitch to YouTube, where he streamed on the "Bjorn TV" channel. Bjorn joined the "Cx network" of IRL streamers, and had a huge surge in live viewer count, which encouraged him to make a second channel, "Bjorn TV 2". His popularity would lead to him becoming a recurring character on the network's RV trips, which were actively watched by tens of thousands of live viewers. The Cx network later folded in 2019, but Lisdorf would continue to live stream to thousands of viewers, in countries such as Denmark, the United States of America, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. When Denino moved to the Mixer platform, Bjorn surpassed him in live viewer count. Lisdorf has since appeared on #Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, where he would defend his colleague and friend against sexual assault accusations. Lisdorf went on to criticize the host, Chris Hansen. After a police investigation, the case was dropped.
He deleted his channel on March 20, 2021.
==Controversy==
Lisdorf's success would eventually become known by Danish academics and businessmen, many of which would offer criticisms. Sten Schaumburg-Müller, professor of Law at the University of Southern Denmark would criticize Lisdorf's career, stating that distribution of streams in a commercial context could be actionable by law. After commenting on Lisdorf's style of online streaming, Schaumburg-Müller would go on to write two publications about the criminal liability for the content of online media and the freedom of speech in Danish online media. Lars Lindskov, the chairman of the Danish Union of Press Photographers, commented that Bjorn's style of live streaming was a "betrayal of society".
In 2019, Lisdorf would again be featured in the news after a livestream viewer sent him a racist donation. The prolific speech alert was projected to everyone on the train Bjorn was travelling on, shocking the other passengers.
==Personal life==
Bjørn has two brothers: his twin brother called Jens, and Peer, a retired professional footballer who currently manages HB Køge's women's team. Bjorn has a wife, Bussarin, who is also now a live streamer.
He is good friends with Onlyusemeblade aka Brian Risso and his wife Becky. He thought Becky was a drug addict ,due to Blade's fans overstating some of her drug situations, and very slender but found out she was massive.
