Twitch is utterly buck broken in trying to revive their dying platform after doing everything they can to scare away any streamer that wasn’t an egirl or a leftist commentary streamer. People are moving away to Kick at a rate where Twitch is noticing how much they screwed up and are trying to get people to crawl back to their platform.

At first they tried to loosen the rules which didn’t work since you can still be banned for being 1% edgy. Now they are changing the rules so that content from people they banned from the platform can be posted on the site in the name of “diverse opinions.”

Twitch has had strict rules about what content streamers are allowed to watch on the site with creators previously prohibited from reacting to VODs or clips from users who have been suspended.

On April 4, the Amazon-owned platform adjusted these rules with one big caveat: banned users still can’t appear on stream as guests in any capacity.

According to Twitch, moving forward, streamers can watch VODs and other content from banned users on the basis that “sharing commentary is a big part of the Twitch experience.”

“We believe this update strikes the right balance – it helps ensure suspensions are honored, while giving our community room to discuss topics that are of interest to them,” the platform added.

Yeah this is totally better than just unbanning people who were suspended from the platform for being too edgy or mass reporting that was demanded by another streamer. The mass reporting from its deranged userbase is still going to happen, but at least corporate won’t ban you for watching Nick Fuentes or Leafy on Twitch.

Dr Disrespect will still be permanently banned but hey at least you can react to his videos from YouTube on Twitch. They couldn’t even do that without having a bunch of restrictions that just ends up making it where this new rule is useless and you will still be banned for the bogus reasons that destroyed the platform.

While this means that users will now be free to engage with content posted by banned streamers such as Dr Disrespect, the two-time still won’t be able to return to Twitch for any collaborations.

The updated Community Guidelines now state: “For non-suspended Twitch streamers, you may react to a VOD or a livestream from another service of a suspended user, but you may not feature them on your stream as a guest (for example, streaming in the same room or using collaboration software to feature a suspended user as a guest, even in an ensemble).”

However, there are still some restrictions to what streamers can react to. A clip that resulted in a streamer being banned could still be off the table if showing it would violate Twitch’s content rules. As Twitch reiterated in their announcement, “all content must abide by our Community Guidelines.”

The new policy has just gone into effect, so we’ll have to see how streamers decide to take advantage of it and if Twitch decides to loosen up more of its guidelines depending on how these new rules pan out.

I still don’t get how they still ban streamers from having someone banned as a guest. I mean its their show they can control what happens when they are a guest, but this is the shit that Twitch decided to go with and now their site is dying and is a laughing stock.

Nobody is crawling back because of this. Everyone should move on and let this gay site die off in the pits.
