This week, popular Twitch streamer Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa claimed that Twitch had completely demonetized her channel with no warning or explanation. Since then, the streamer has revealed that this action by Twitch will cost her upwards of $500,000 a year, as she was making $30,000 to $40,000 a month on Twitch ads. Compared to some of the biggest streamers, this isn’t the biggest paycheck, but it’s a large amount of money to lose without notice.
Yesterday I was informed that Twitch has Indefinitely Suspended Advertising on my channel
Twitch didn’t 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
People who are cheering about Twitch removing @Amouranth’s revenue will be real mad soon when their favorite streamer gets nuked for being a brand risk. If you think this stops at sexual content, think again.
