Twitch's Ad Policy Sparks Controversy and Backlash.

TL;DR Summary
Twitch's new rules on advertising will prohibit streamers from featuring third-party display, video, or audio ads, impacting their ability to consistently earn money. The rules will also affect how charity organizations raise money on Twitch and impact the brands that advertise on Twitch themselves. The new rules will also target static display ads, prohibiting one of the most common forms of third-party advertising on the site. The rules go into effect on July 1st. However, Twitch has since walked back the new ad rules.
