XQc noted that there are a lot of people doing hot tub streams. While he wanted to wait for official communication from Twitch on the matter, he agreed it’s a “big topic” that is “kind of scary.” In a recent stream, xQc addressed the growing controversy over Twitch’s decision. xQc responds to Amouranth advertising ban on Twitch Many have called on Twitch to change their policies to be more consistent about what type of content is allowed on the platform.
This meta started due to Twitch’s Terms of Service specifically stating that bikinis are only allowed when in hot tubs or pools.Įven though Amouranth and other streamers were not necessarily breaking the Terms of Service, the sexually suggestive content deeply upset some members of the streaming community. I think the narrative that it ‘takes viewers away from other creators’ is false”.It has not been publicly explained why Twitch decided to remove Amouranth’s ability to advertise, but she assumes it’s due to her sexual content.Īmouranth was one of the first streamers to take part in the now-popular “hot tub meta.” This consists of primarily female streamers who sit in an inflatable hot tub in a revealing bathing suit while chatting with fans. The meta is generating a lot of mindshare, and it piques people’s curiosity. I imagine internally Twitch is seeing a huge surge/influx of people coming from off-platform, people who likely become recurring users. She continues “I can play games or just talk to my chat sitting at my desk to 10,000 concurrent nowadays. Social media loves opining about topics when there is imperfect information.” “I think a lot of the perceived asymmetry is caused by Twitch not publicizing the reason they are taking enforcement action against a streamer. The company mostly doesn’t comment at bans at all and this leaves streamers in total confusion. The second one is the argument that says that if a male streamer did those on his streams or even showed them he would get banned for nudity, but Twitch is unfair towards this subject.Īmouranth personally thinks that this is caused by Twitch not showing the reasons behind their bans more openly. There are two reoccurring themes that people go back to 1) Twitch is for gaming or 2) Twitch is unfair towards male streamers-alternatively, Twitch is more lenient on female streamers”. She explains that there are two types of arguments when men talk trash about her “People extrapolate their own agenda onto the meta. Kaitlyn Siragusa, as known as ”Amouranth” gained almost half a million followers since she started using hot tubs in her streams. Please get this trash off the front page.”Ī report from Kotaku actually tried to explain the feelings of the people that are taking advantage of this meta on Twitch. So, last week one of the biggest streamers on Twitch Félix Lengyel as known as ”xQc” shared a post on Twitter that says “I’m gonna be honest, this hot tub meta is by far the most pathetic thing we’ve seen on Twitch in forever.
So you can kind of guess what kind of audience they have. These streamers are mostly women and they wear stuff like bikinis to show their body curves while getting wet on their hot tub. And if you don’t have an idea what I’m talking about, I’m going to try to explain it in the most simple way. So if you have been on Twitch recently I’m sure you heard of the ”Hot Tub” streamers.
