YouTube sensation Jimmy Donaldson, widely known as MrBeast, has joined the growing resistance against Twitch’s latest policies that pose a threat to streamers’ livelihoods by significantly limiting their revenue potential. 

The platform’s changes have sparked outrage among prominent figures in the streaming community, with influential names such as Asmongold and Mizkif even raising “Boycott Twitch” slogans. MrBeast, too, is taking a stand and considering streaming on rival platforms to express his dissatisfaction with Twitch.

MrBeast joins the protest against the Twitch streaming platform

In a tweet addressing Twitch, MrBeast expressed his concerns about the recent changes, suggesting that instead of hindering creators’ earnings, the platform should focus on helping them generate more income. His message resonated with many fellow streamers and followers who feel the impact of the new policies on their ability to earn a living through streaming.

Notably, MrBeast took his protest a step further by following Twitch’s biggest rival, Kick, on social media, hinting that he may consider streaming on the alternative platform to showcase his disapproval of Twitch’s actions. The support for MrBeast’s stance extends even to the eccentric billionaire Elon Musk, who has voiced his solidarity with Jimmy’s protest.

What exactly triggered this uproar within the Twitch streaming community? 

The controversial guidelines, set to take effect on July 1, impose restrictions on the size of logos displayed during streams, capping them at no more than 3% of the screen size. Additionally, the policies prohibit the insertion of video, audio, and display ads directly into streams, significantly limiting the advertising avenues available to streamers for promoting products and services.

Following the announcement of these policies, the internet erupted with backlash, as creators and viewers alike voiced their discontent and rallied together to protest against Twitch’s decision. The collective outrage stems from the belief that these restrictions will hinder streamers’ ability to monetize their content effectively and maintain a sustainable income.
