Viewers Response to Ghost's Disappearance
Many viewers questioned where Ghost was. Many remembered Ghost's October hiatus from a few months back and assumed Ghost took another hiatus due to possibly Pinochet dying. However, unlike the previous hiatus. Ghost made no mention of why he took a hiatus on Ghost.report. With the January 6, 2021 Capitol Protest happening a week later along with Ghost hinting at encouraging protests (which caused DLive to later reprimand many users). Many viewers also assumed Ghost either died or was arrested during the protest or that Ghost is unable to broadcast on DLive in fear of being banned.

It is currently unknown when Ghost will return from his hiatus. Or if Ghost has quit for good.
