    Yeah, well, he makes them a lot of money. The TOS only applies to people who don't make them a lot of money. Same as it's always been.

      Also the bans only 14 days and since most subs on twitch are a month this wont even impact his income that much. Smallest slap on the wrist ever.

      Amson doesn't make them any money, at least not directly. His twitch account isn't monetized. No ads, no way to give him money on a way where twitch gets a cut.

      Idk if the audience he brings to the platform offsets the hosting cost.
