Twitch Reverses Controversial Ad Policy After Streamer Backlash.

Twitch streamer MoistCr1tikal has accused the platform of lying about removing its guidelines for branded content. Twitch's new rules for broadcasting branded content sparked outrage from streamers, leading to threats of boycotting the website and leaving the platform altogether. Twitch walked back these guidelines the very next day, but MoistCr1tikal discovered that Twitch's TOS still includes a similar statement to the branded content guidelines that the site claimed to have removed. Twitch's Head of Monetization, Mike Minton, addressed these concerns, saying that the TOS still needs to be updated and that the clause will be removed eventually.
