Twitch faces backlash and boycott calls over controversial ad policies.

Twitch has apologized and will rewrite its new advertising policy after backlash from streamers who threatened to boycott the platform. The original policy would have restricted the size and type of ads used by streamers, limiting their ability to generate income. Some streamers have already left Twitch, citing the lack of discoverability and the platform's focus on money over its users. The new rules also caused concern for charity events that rely heavily on logos that fill much of the screen. The extent of the policy rewrite is unclear.
