A streamer gets banned from Twitch for dancing in front of the camera. She is angry now and announces possible consequences.
Who is it about?
Twitch bans Alinity for dancing
Why was the streamer banned now? Alinity danced, or rather “worked,” in front of the camera in a livestream on May 29, 2023. Twerking is a dance style that uses rapid movements of the hips and pelvis to make the buttocks vibrate.
While the streamer danced, a man who was also in the room and on the stream rapped: “Her butt is so big that Twitch wants to ban it.” – Ironically, the man was right, because as the streamer said the following day (30 . May) announced that Twitch has banned her for 3 days.
The reason for the ban is Alinity twerking (via Twitter). An official statement from Twitch stating the reason for the ban is not publicly available.

Streamer considering switching platforms
What consequences is the streamer now announcing? As a result of her ban, the streamer is stunned and angry on Twitter. She writes: “What a shitty platform. I am considering moving my business elsewhere.”
Possible alternatives to Twitch would be YouTube and the streaming platforms Rumble and Kick. The latter in particular has established itself as the “number 1” alternative for controversial streamers.
Of course, a few hours after Alinity’s post, the official Twitter accounts of both Kick and Rumble can be found in the comments.
Overall, Alinity finds the length of the ban (3 days) too severe. She herself has been banned for a shorter time for a more serious violation of Twitch’s policies:
