Amouranth reveals massive drop in Twitch income despite getting ads back Wikimedia Commons \/ Twitch: AmouranthKaitlyn \u2018Amouranth\u2019 Siragusa has seen her advertisement revenue return after being demonetized by Twitch, but revealed that it\u2019s shockingly lower than it was previously. The hot tub meta has dominated Twitch throughout 2021, and Amouranth has arguably been its poster girl. With the platform only allowing streamers to wear certain attire in \u201ccontextual exceptions\u201c, the hot tub has become a prime location for certain streamers. However, Amouranth\u2018s status as the \u2018Queen of Hot Tubs\u2019 was up in the air after she was surprisingly demonetized by Twitch, prompting speculation that she would end up ditching hot tub streams for good. Amouranth was set to lose just shy of half a million dollars in revenue as a result of this demonetization and caused worries that Twitch\u2019s ability to demonetize channels without warning could set a dangerous precedent. On her May 22 stream, Amouranth explained that Twitch had reverted its decision to demonetize her channel, but with a catch. She would now be making significantly less money from ads than she did previously. \u201cFor comparison, before the demonetization, I was getting $1000 a day in advertisements,\u201d she explained. \u201cYesterday, I streamed for like 15 hours, had a 15,000 viewer average, and had $130 in ad revenue.\u201d Read More: How does Amouranth make money? – This means that if she were to stream every day for a year, she would now receive $47,450 in ad revenue \u2013 an annual loss of up to $440,000. Of course, Amouranth still makes a sizeable amount of money through subscribers, donations, and other sources such as YouTube, but this reduction presents a sizeable loss of income. Several streamers, including Destiny and Asmongold, have condemned Twitch for demonetizing Amouranth\u2019s channel, with the former believing the action could have been a contract breach. It remains to be seen whether the introduction of the new \u2018pools, hot tubs and beaches\u2018 category will mean this reduction in ad revenue is a temporary or permanent measure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
