Streamers Ibai, banned from Twitch for 'a bald man'
Twitch Services lowers the salary of its creators by reducing the price of subscriptions
A large group of
streamers
today declared
the first strike on Twitch
, the live video platform owned by Amazon, as a way to protest against the conditions and lack of help on their part.
Those who join the strike
will not be broadcasting on Twitch today in protest
.
Among the big names,
Ibai Llanos
stands out
, the main
Spanish
streamer
and one of the most relevant figures in the world, capable of interviewing Messi and rubbing shoulders with other great footballers such as
Kun Agüero
or
Gerard Piqué
.
The main motivator of this strike is the serious problem of 'bot attacks' that spoil
creators
' reputations and
streams
and against which
Twitch has
not only done nothing, but also punishes those who suffer these attacks.
These
bot
attacks
take advantage of a
Twitch
feature
, '
raids
', a way for one
streamer to
send their audience to another to help promote them. However, this tool has been used to
carry out racist, xenophobic, sexist and LGBTphobic attacks
. Since
Twitch
punishes all of these attitudes, those who receive a raid, something they cannot avoid, see their reputation or even their account being crashed by an agent they cannot control.
Of all the great figures on
Twitch
, only
Ibai
has spoken out in favor of the strike.
Other names like
ElRubius
,
The Grefg
or
AuronPlay
have not been spoken.
However, less important figures have joined the protest en masse.
Twitch
is one of the most important online platforms and services in the world, with millionaire audiences every day.
Its tough control of content has been criticized as much as its free hand for those creators who, despite broadcasting controversial content, are not punished for its popularity.
