Amouranth warns hot tub streamers as Twitch suspends advertising on her channel Amouranth\/TwitchPopular streamer Kaitlyn \u2018Amouranth\u2019 Siragusa is warning her fellow content creators after revealing that Twitch completely suspended advertising on her channel. The news comes as the hot tub \u2018meta\u2019 continues to dominate headlines across the globe, with many female streamers using their platform to splash around in pools while wearing bikinis. While Twitch themselves said they were \u201cmonitoring\u201d the situation closely, the drama seems to have finally caught up with them, resulting in the site taking action. On May 18, the Twitch star took to Twitter to reveal that a day prior, without any warning, the Amazon-owned site indefinitely suspended advertising on her channel. This is an ALARMING precedent and serves as a stark warning that although content may not ostensibly break community guidelines or Terms of service, Twitch has complete discretion to target individual channels & partially or wholly demonetized them for \u2014 Amouranth (@Amouranth) May 18, 2021 However, in a bizarre twist, Amouranth claims that the site never informed her and she has to be the one to bring it up after contacting them. \u201cTwitch didn\u2019t reach out in any way whatsoever. I had to initiate the conversation after noticing, without any prior warning, all the ads revenue had disappeared from my Channel Analytics,\u201d she explained. Siragusa went on to warn fellow streamers that they too could suffer a similar fate. \u201cThis is an ALARMING precedent and serves as a stark warning that although content may not ostensibly break community guidelines or Terms of service, Twitch has complete discretion to target individual channels.\u201d there’s something to go by. There is no known policy for what results in a streamer being put on this blacklist. With characteristic opacity, The only thing twitch made clear is that it is unclear whether or when my account can be reinstated. \u2014 Amouranth (@Amouranth) May 18, 2021 According to the streamer, the fact that channels can be fully demonetized for being deemed \u201cnot advertiser-friendly\u201d isn\u2019t something she was prepared for. \u201cThis leaves open-ended the question of where the line is drawn. Many people complain about ToS being \u201cunclear\u201d but at least there\u2019s something to go by,\u201d she noted. \u201cThere is no known policy for what results in a streamer being put on this blacklist.\u201d Furthermore, Amouranth says it\u2019s unclear whether or when her account can be reinstated. So far, Twitch has yet to comment on the issue and it\u2019s unclear if other streamers have also been affected. Prominent streamer and creator of the hot tub \u2018meta\u2019, xoAeriel, told Dexerto that her channel has not been demonetized yet.
