ĭenino quickly became one of the most popular livestreamers in the world focusing primarily on the IRL genre using a mobile broadcasting rig of his own design. Denino admits that it is nearly impossible to hide anything from the "Purple Army".
His community is largely based around his sizeable Discord community and his Reddit subreddit /r/Ice_Poseidon which was initially placed under "quarantine" by Reddit, and subsequently banned in October 2019 along with its community-run sister Subreddit /r/Ice_Poseidon2. ĭenino's fanbase is controversial, with some describing the community as 'toxic' due to their frequent use of racial and sexual slurs, and harassment. YouTubeįollowing his ban from Twitch in spring 2017, Denino took to YouTube, taking most of his fans (the "Purple Army") with him, a rarity for streamers. Some members of the community demanded that Twitch undo the ban citing complaints that the Twitch terms of service were too vague and with Denino stating "when you look at the, there was no rules saying that you shouldn't leak your location".
The decision to ban Ice Poseidon from Twitch sparked controversy with some believing his ban was unjustified, including Denino himself. While this was not the first time he had been swatted during a livestream it was the first on Twitch to lead to a permanent suspension. The incident made national news across the US as a hoax bomb threat had been called in by one of Denino's viewers under his name. He was banned from Twitch on April 28, 2017, after being swatted on American Airlines Flight 458 in Phoenix, where police officers removed Denino and another person. He frequently traveled around the country IRL streaming, averaging ten to thirty thousand concurrent viewers. During the ban, Denino decided to move to California to pursue his Twitch career full-time. This was his third ban on the platform, this time resulting in a 45-day ban. Denino was banned during the section's launch day because he revealed a phone number on stream. In late December 2016, Twitch announced the launch of the IRL section, allowing Denino to stream without the involvement of gaming for the first time. He moved into streaming IRL, beginning by streaming himself playing Pokémon Go.

He rose to prominence for his Old School RuneScape streams in 2015 playing under the pseudonym "Ice Poseidon", which he created using a random name generator when he was twelve years old.
“Right now in my career I am the happiest I have been in 4 years because my community is positive, and supportive and I can count on them to have my back, along with all the experiences I have gained,” he wrote. He said that his experience building that network helped him realize how his actions had negatively affected Twitch. He recounted his experience creating and managing a network of YouTube streamers over the past couple of years. Ice Poseidon went into more detail in his written statement, where he explained that he regretted giving up so much power to an audience that didn’t have his best interest in mind.
