xQc says: “This saves everyone”
This is what xQc says about it: The biggest streamer on Twitch is Felix “xQc” Lengyel. He has expressed critical views regarding the hot tub streams. He says: People need to calm down and wait for an official statement from Twitch. This is a “big development.”
It’s the case that many are doing what Amouranth does. They would not be punished, but Amouranth is now.
According to xQc, Amouranth could serve as a scapegoat, being punished as an individual, “to save everyone.”
xQc apparently believes: If Twitch had done nothing, “everyone on Twitch” could have lost their advertisements.
In xQc’s logic, punishing Amouranth is a symbol Twitch sets to appease angry advertisers who threatened to stop advertising on Twitch. Amouranth has also admitted that the “Hot Tub” streams might harm Twitch’s advertising revenue in the long run.
xQc calls the situation: “Somehow frightening.”
This is what’s behind it: The hot tub streams are delicate for Twitch because they cleverly balance on the rules. Formally, they do not violate any rule. Because on Twitch, “appropriate clothing” is mandated: This is meant to prevent a female streamer simply streaming in a bra. For that, one would be banned. However, appropriate clothing for a bathtub is indeed a bikini. For that, no one can be banned.
By having female streamers place a bathtub in their living rooms, the “nudity” rules of Twitch are circumvented.
Apparently, Twitch has now decided to take action against it by playing outside the rules and demonetizing a streamer.
As often with Twitch, communication is again a major problem.

Twitch’s banning policy is becoming increasingly ridiculous
Twitch has taken away the ability of the platform’s current biggest streamer, Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa (27), to run advertisements on Twitch and earn money. The streamer has become known in recent weeks through “Hot Tub” streams. These streams are controversial.
This is the situation:
- For several months now, there has been a trend of “Hot Tub” streams on Twitch: female streamers go live from an indoor pool, wearing swimwear while chatting with their fans. They circumvent the strict nudity rules on Twitch. Many of the female streamers promote their “OnlyFans” accounts, where sexually explicit content is often displayed.
- Some Twitch viewers and streamers are against this type of “bathtub” stream: They believe it sexualizes Twitch too much. The female streamers are said to showcase their bodies in order to sexually arouse viewers and thereby encourage them to donate. Streamers like MontanaBlack have urged Twitch to “take action”.
- While the 27-year-old Amouranth is not the originator of this trend, she is the most successful with it. She believes these streams bring Twitch a lot of new viewers.
- Twitch has only said so far that they are monitoring the situation, but have not intervened yet. That is changing now.
Twitch removes Amouranth’s ability to run advertisements
This is what Amouranth says: The streamer stated on Twitter last night that Twitch informed her that the running of advertisements on her channel has been suspended. This is for an indefinite period. No further message, no explanation, or advice on how she can lift this ban came from Twitch itself. She had to reach out to Twitch for clarification, she said.
According to Amouranth, this approach sets a dangerous precedent. It’s not about her, but about Twitch acting without issuing any guidelines. It was thought that if Twitch took action against the “Hot Tub” streams, they would do so with an explanation, but not just like this, without any communication.
According to Amouranth, she is not significantly affected by the measure because she also earns her money through Instagram, OnlyFans, YouTube, and sponsors. She is “diversified.” For other people, however, losing the advertising revenue from Twitch is critical.
For her, it’s clear that Twitch can simply shut down monetization for streamers, their own partners, without any warning:
The problem is not that Twitch removes advertisements. The problem is that they do it without any explanation of what the guidelines are.
