Well, he destroyed Gawker. Not that I think they were good people. But it was definitely a personal vendetta.
Gawker was a well known website with 23 million visit per month, and a Wikipedia page. This guy has 44k subscribers and no Wikipedia page. It's a stretch to go from "Thiel had a vendetta against Gawker" to "Thiel had a vendetta against this guy".
By contrast this involved flipping a switch. It was extremely easy.
If that were true you'd see much more people getting banned than one streamer with 44k subs.
You seem to be assuming that this is a large bank.
