Twitch and its battle with hot-tub streamers has taken another turn with the introduction of the Pools, Hot-Tubs, and Beaches category. As expected, hot-tub streamers like Amouranth aren’t happy with the decision.

Amouranth’s rant against Twitch started when the latter abruptly suspended advertising on her channel because the content wasn’t ‘adviser friendly’. Ever since, the streamer has called out the platform for its lack of communication, and unclear Terms of Service. Naturally, she wasn’t expecting all her ad revenue to disappear from Channel Analytics without any prior notice.
