Amouranth will presumably lose $500,000 after Twitch Demonetized her channel

When Twitch said they were “closely monitoring” the “hot tub” meta, no one expected their verdict to come unannounced, least of all in this fashion. Arguably, the biggest hot tub streamer Amouranth, had her channel demonetized that left others in a bit of turmoil.

Twitch never confirmed that the demonetization was a penalty for her suggestive content but it’s not too difficult to assume. They were in hot water ever since people started abusing the ToS to turn hot tub stream into something of a meta. The Amazon-owned streaming platform claimed that they were closing monitoring the situation and it is not until now that concrete action has been taken against any of the streamers.

For someone of Amouranth’s stature, ad revenue racks up to a large amount, losing which may be significantly damaging. Suspending advertisements on her channel will close a big income avenue for her that Twitch assumed will probably demotivate other streamers into following the “hot tub” meta.

According to Amouranth herself, ads on her channel generate somewhere between 35K-40K, which adds up to near about half a million dollars a year. $500,000 will be a big dent in anyone’s income, especially for a full-time Twitch streamer.

Demonetization certainly spells trouble for her despite having other sources of income including donations, bits, subscriptions, sponsorships, and most importantly OnlyFans. The fact that she is well off without the ad revenue is nothing too absurd and certainly something that she can live with.
