On a recent Reddit post about banning hot tub, commentators agreed that Twitch is avoiding the subject and ignoring what is going on. “Being found to be sexy by others is not against our rules, and Twitch will not take enforcement action against women, or anyone on our service, for their perceived attractiveness,” the company wrote in a recent blog post regarding the “hot tub meta”. Twitch said the ads were suspended at advertisers’ request and that it’s now working with individual creators to “restore ads where appropriate.” “We did not alert impacted creators at the time, and we should have–our creators rely on us,” a spokesperson said. In a statement sent to The Verge, the company said that was a mistake. The new “ Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches” category was designed to let creators stream what they want, while also giving Twitch advertisers a more convenient way to prevent ads from running on streams that they don’t approve of. Things eventually calmed down after Twitch introduced a separate channel for hot tub streams after claiming that it has received pushback from advertisers and viewers about how the trend has taken over the platform. Although hot tub streaming doesn’t go against any guidelines, Twitch for a short time banned any mention of ‘hot tub’ on their official channel. The streams often fit in the “Just Chatting” category, however some streamers lean towards more ‘NSFW’ content, an acronym online shortened for ‘not for showing wife’ material. Technically, these hot tub streams didn’t actually break any Twitch rules, as streamers are permitted to wear swimsuits and bikinis in appropriate situations, with a hot tub representing an appropriate place to wear one.
The streamer was pretty well known for her hot tub streams on Twitch, however, the recent “Hot Tub Meta” ordeal soon led to Twitch completely banning the mention of any hot tubs and even suspended her ad revenue for a short time. It’s going to be very interesting to see what these projects are, how they form, and how they will be received by her huge fanbase ( 660k Youtube, 4.1M Twitch).Īmouranth and hot tubs have a long history together across both Twitch and Youtube.
Still, it’s anyone’s guess exactly what this gameshow will entail and what Amouranth’s role will be. And being a GAMESHOW GURL? …in a hot tub?”. “A documentary produced by a big media org about my life (on stream and off)…. “TWO EXCITING PROJECTS IN THE WORKS!” she tweeted from her personal account. The 27-year old female streamer revealed that she will be working on two new upcoming projects, the first being a documentary regarding her life as a streamer and in general, and the second being a feature gameshow girl in a hot tub. Mods, I think this thread belongs here since Twitch is primarily considered a gaming platform, but please move to EtcetEra if deemed more appropriate.Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa is back in the headlines as a result of some of her recent tweets. If you think there's no place on Twitch for these kinds of streams, where do you draw the line? Should Twitch be gaming only, with no IRL-focused streams at all? There's no nudity allowed, so it's not like it can be considered sexual content.
And I'm sure Twitch doesn't mind the extra exposure, traffic, and revenue. Women should be able to wear what they want and do what they want without being insulted and told that they belong on a porn site. Personally, I don't have an issue with it. I'm sure someone will say "there's your first mistake, reading Twitch chat" but on a Just Chatting stream, that's kind of the point. People are allowed to voice their opinion of course, but as you can probably imagine much of that criticism comes in the form of harassment if you join one of these streams and view the chat for a few minutes, you'll see a lot of derogatory and disrespectful things said. Click to shrink.There's a portion of the community that is strongly against these streams, claiming that they're taking advantage of the platform and that it's not what Twitch is intended to be used for.
