Under pressure from the community, Twitch decided to take a radical step towards half-naked streams from the pool or bathtubs, excluding the possibility of earning money on them. “He turned off the ads without warning,” said one of the world’s most popular streamers.

Not only other streamers were outraged, but also a large number of users who did not agree to the use of erotic content on the site. Many people pointed out that this is not necessarily material for younger viewers who also visit Twitchaand the so-called “hot tub meta” was displayed many times on the main page of the website.

However, it seems that the website has taken more radical steps against the controversial streamers, as reported by Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa, who is famous primarily for broadcasting in skimpy swimwear that she runs from her swimming pool.

The woman wrote on Twitterthat the ads on her channel had suddenly been disabled indefinitely and that Twitch had not even informed her. During her next stream, she admitted that she was not upset that the website had disabled her ads, and that she had not been informed whether she had breached the website regulations in any way.

Apparently, Twitch, while promising to “look into the case,” did not completely froth the eyes of its users. However, the question of whether disabling advertisements is a “punishment” enough for controversial streamers to change the content presented.

Most of their income comes from voluntary contributions from viewers and advertising contracts, so advertising on the site itself does not account for a large part of their earnings. However, this may be the first of the changes aimed at reducing this type of content.
