Malena points out that underage streamers could also do ‘Hot Tub’ streams
Malena also mentioned in her tweet about a glaring error that could be very problematic for Twitch. She observed that it is a 13+ website, and teenagers can also stream on it. Bugha, Clix, and many others have already become quite popular on the platform even though they haven’t turned 18. But Malena said that this could be used as a loophole, as underage streamers can also attempt to do hot tub streams on their channel.
This could be a major issue for the platform as advertisers would never condone content like this, especially when there are minors involved. Many brands would stop advertising their products on Twitch, which could drastically hurt the revenue of the company and their creators. Other than that, Malena also noted that it could also hurt the reputation of Twitch and anyone affiliated with it. She also stated that the platform must take action before the issue spiraled out of control.
