Amouranth has taken to her Twitter to call out Twitch indefinitely suspending her without prior notice or any warnings.

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

She goes on to say that Twitch has no “communicated guideline” and has complete discretion to target individual channels they deem “not advertiser friendly”.

there's something to go by. There is no known policy for what results in a streamer being put on this blacklist. With characteristic opacity, The only thing twitch made clear is that it is unclear whether or when my account can be reinstated.

Amouranth has been widely criticized in the past few months and also been satirized by fellow streamers for her hot tub streams. Other hot tub streams have also called each other out for “copying” ideas.

However, Twitch’s guidelines that swimwear is permitted as long as certain guidelines are followed.

Swim and beaches, concerts and festivals
Swimwear is permitted as long as it completely covers the genitals, and those who present as women must also cover their nipples. Full coverage of buttocks is not required, but camera focus around them is still subject to our sexually suggestive content policy. Coverage must be fully opaque, even when wet. Sheer or partially see-through swimwear or other clothing does not constitute coverage.

Twitch Community Guidelines

This allows hot tub streamers to stream this type of content.

As of now, Amouranth is still able to stream and still has income from her subs and donations.
