Twitch Reverses Controversial Changes After Creator Backlash.
TL;DR Summary
Twitch has revoked its new branded-content guidelines, which were scheduled to be effective from July 1, following a backlash from creators. The changes would have restricted the kinds of ads allowed on Twitch, completely banning "burned-in" video, audio and display ads on the platform and restricting on-screen logos to a maximum of 3% of the screen size. Twitch has paid out more than $1 billion to streamers in 2022 and has more than 31 million average daily visitors.
