"Well it took four years but: Doc is indeed done, and not just on Twitch"

Genuine question, who is this? I've seen them linked a few times and still don't get it.
She is the original person that Tweeted he is done and not just on Twitch. https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1867216-dr-disrespects-2020-twitch-ban
I still do not understand why/how this was kept under wraps for so long. Like what changed that meant this could now come out?
The best explanation is a combination of two things:
Both twitch and doc served to benefit from squashing this for a while. It’s bad news for doc obviously but imagine twitch having to come out and tell everyone one of their top streamers is a pedo?
I’ve heard a lot of NDAs sort of default length is 4 years. It’s almost exactly 4 years since he was banned.
Given these two things it seems like the more business side of twitch probably wanted to cover this up for as long as possible whereas other elements of twitch had wanted to take it public. Now they can and here we are.
It's not an NDA (and there's no such thing as a default length). It's a settlement agreement with confidentiality terms and are generally indefinite.
Not for every single employee who worked there and knew about it. They signed nda’s, not Doc. And theirs likely just expired.
Remember this is Amazon we are talking about. Docs side certainly isnt going to leak “hey he sexts kids” and amazon certainly doesn’t want “hey this guy used OUR platform to sext minors, and we SIGNED him after” to get out. Anyone working at twitch is gonna want to keep their job and not get sued.

As a layperson I would guess it’s because you need to provide motivation for why your NDA needs to be a certain length. It’ll be easier if there’s precedence for a given length, which is how a typical length of time could become super common.
