Leave The Spotlight, Hot Tub Streamers, Twitch Now has A New Meta

Everyone pretty much heard about the ‘hot tub meta’ disaster that stormed through the Twitch community months back. Now, we have a new candidate for the most recent meta: ASMR streams where the streamer licks the microphone with specific clothing.

Throughout May, hot tub streams have been on the top of the Just Chatting category, and some people were, well, not really happy about it. As a result, we got the fiasco of Hot Tub meta, where people sparked anger about this stream concept, and Twitch tried to ease tensions.

Later on, as a solution, Twitch has created the category Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches category so that the Hot Tub streamers wouldn’t invade the Just Chatting category. In the announcement of the new category, Twitch explained “Twitch will not take enforcement against women, or anyone on our service, for their perceived attractiveness,” well, looks like streamers have found another way around.

In these ASMR streams, streamers like Amouranth and Indiefoxx will attempt to complete challenges and lick the microphone for a period of time when someone subscribes. Overall that’s about it, do you think this will also spark anger from a group of people? Either way, we’ll see what happens soon.
