Did payment processors and streaming services also cut ties with Nick Fuentes and when?

1. Early streaming bans: the 2020 crackdown on hate‑speech violations

The first clear cluster of stream removals happened in early 2020, when platforms such as Twitch and Reddit moved to ban Fuentes and YouTube later took enforcement action around February 2020, citing violations of hate‑speech policies; reporting and organizational trackers identify that pattern of streaming deplatforming beginning in 2020 ^{[2] [1]}.

2. Broader social‑media deplatforming through 2021 and after January 6

After the January 6, 2021 events and growing scrutiny of extremist organizers, reporting records additional bans across mainstream social networks—Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (with later partial reinstatements), TikTok and other distribution channels—so that by 2021 Fuentes had been removed from most major social and content platforms previously used for distribution ^{[1] [2]}.

3. Financial and infrastructure providers: named firms that “cut ties”

Multiple secondary sources and extremist trackers explicitly list payment processors and commerce platforms that blocked or prohibited services for Fuentes: Stripe, Venmo, PayPal, Patreon, Coinbase, Amazon Web Services, Shopify/Streamlabs (payment/streaming hybrids) and Airbnb appear repeatedly in those lists as having restricted his accounts or services ^{[3] [4]}. These reports present the bans as part of the same deplatforming ecosystem that targeted his distribution channels.

4. Timing and sequencing: what the sources do — and do not — specify

While the pattern is clear—streaming bans clustered in 2020 with broad platform exclusions intensifying after January 6 and financial/infrastructure blocks documented by trackers thereafter—the publicly available sources supplied here do not give an itemized, date‑by‑date chronology for each payment processor or each corporate action ^{[1] [3]}. Organizational profiles and fact lists assert that financial and e‑commerce services had banned him, and several reports explicitly group those actions into the broader 2020–2023 deplatforming window, but they stop short of furnishing exact cutoff dates for every named company ^{[4] [2]}.

5. Where Fuentes continued to operate and monetize despite bans

Even as mainstream platforms and payment rails restricted him, Fuentes migrated to alternative venues and found replacement revenue mechanisms: Rumble hosts his video content, and live donations and subscription tiers documented in later reporting show he continued to receive sizable contributions through alternative streaming and tipping systems, illustrating that bans shifted rather than entirely extinguished his income streams ^{[5] [6]}.

6. Alternative readings and hidden incentives behind “cutting ties”

Corporate actions reflect both policy enforcement and reputational risk management: platforms cited hate‑speech and policy violations as reasons for removal, while payment and hosting providers face regulatory, investor and advertiser pressure to avoid enabling extremist monetization; sources like Counter Extremism Project catalog which firms are implicated but may combine public statements, investigative reporting and advocacy dossiers, so motives blend compliance, public relations and external advocacy pressure ^{[3] [1]}. Some outlets emphasize the role of activist campaigns to “cancel” Fuentes; other coverage highlights platform policy enforcement—both frames appear in the reporting examined ^{[3] [4]}.

7. Bottom line and limits of the record

The available reporting uniformly indicates that both streaming services and a range of payment processors and infrastructure firms cut ties with Nick Fuentes, with the earliest streaming removals concentrated in 2020 and broader financial/service cutoffs documented through 2023; however, the sources here do not supply precise individual company cutoff dates in every case, so a definitive, company‑by‑company timeline cannot be reconstructed solely from the materials provided ^{[2] [1] [3]}.
