One of the creators of "Nothing, Forever" said they received a 14-day suspension from Twitch because of what one of the characters said. Larry Feinberg, who is based off Jerry Seinfeld, reportedly made transphobic jokes during a stand-up routine. 

The show's creators say the content from "Nothing, Forever" is generated via machine learning and AI algorithms. 

It runs 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. The creators say the storylines are always brand-new content. 

While the show was on hiatus, its creators said they were working on a moderation tool to make sure similar content isn't generated.
