Advertisements are reinstated on Amouranth’s channel after she hinted at leaving the hot tub stream for good, but the additional revenue has been significantly reduced.
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.
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.
“For comparison, before the demonetization, I was getting $1000 a day in advertisements,” she said. “Yesterday, I streamed for like 15 hours, had a 15,000 viewer average, and had $130 in ad revenue,” she added.
According to her statement, her annual income will be reduced to $50,000 from what previously was half a million dollars. The community, in general, has appreciated Twitch taking steps against the “hot tub” meta which might see similar streamers follow her footsteps.
