Mizkif believes Twitch CEO will have \u201cpositive impact\u201d on site despite backlash YouTube: Mizkif \/ Twitter: JakeNBakeMizkif had a phone call with Twitch\u2019s CEO, Dan Clancy, the night the platform came under fire for its new guidelines on branded content \u2014 and says he thinks Clancy will have a \u201cpositive impact\u201d on the site despite the backlash. On June 6, Twitch revealed new guidelines to branded content that will go into effect on July 1. These guidelines introduced a bevy of restrictions on the kinds of advertisements that streamers are allowed to show, most notably banning \u201cburned in\u201d video, audio, and display ads. That\u2019s not all; on-stream overlays are now limited to a mere 3% of screen size. Twitch also limited what kinds of products are allowed to be advertised on its platform, no longer allowing political content, adult-oriented products, or medical devices to be promoted, among other goods and services. These new guidelines sparked a swath of backlash against the website, with many top broadcasters and even streaming organizations threatening to leave Twitch altogether if these new rules go through. However, one top streamer \u2014 who was also vocally against Twitch\u2019s new rules \u2014 says he has faith that the site will go in the right direction after hopping on a phone call with its CEO, Dan Clancy. Mizkif says he had phone call with Twitch CEO about branded content changes On June 7, Mizkif uploaded a YouTube video claiming he spoke with Clancy in an hours-long phone call, which he walked away from confident that the CEO will have a \u201cpositive impact\u201d on the company. \u201cDan actually listened [to me],\u201d Mizkif explained. \u201cHe listened to my feedback, he listened to what I had to say. And I do believe that Dan is going to be making a positive impact on the future of Twitch.\u201d \u201cI hope that Dan is the beginning of many good changes to this website, and I hope this website starts listening to its creators and viewers, and creating a better viewing experience overall, so people can have experiences like I did in 2013.\u201d (Topic begins at 5:48) Mizkif himself has signed a deal with Rumble to occasionally stream on their platform on top of his pre-existing Twitch broadcasts \u2014 a trend that has been happening more and more often with a huge chunk of Twitch\u2019s top talent as of late. For now, the streaming wars rage on as more competitor sites line up in the wings waiting to take advantage of Twitch\u2019s every move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
