There are two possible reasons:
1) Twitch has heard rumblings and pre-emptively nuked ads to avoid larger headaches
2) Advertisers are doing the same shit credit card companies do and pulling a prude (they only stow the prude if the client is large enough)
Part of me wonders if they went after her because she has an onlyfans. Instagram has been notorious for nuking accounts of adult performers, even if they comply with site rules.

It's even getting attention from people who don't care for/want the hot tub streamers around, because The Company turning off your money without warning or explanation is why a lot of creators left YouTube, and/or began opening up alternate revenue streams with more direct sponsors/patreon/OF/etc

She isn't getting the revenue. They will of course still play the fucking ads.

It's not super clear to me, but I would imagine they are running ads and just not giving her the money. I believe they run ads on every channel now, even people who are not partnered (only partners get ad rev), so they are just running all the ads, but not giving her her cut.

This is even worse. Say what you will about hot tub streamers but Twitch is benefiting on her channel and not giving her due? Thats all kinds of fucked up

Neither of which are ok since they did not ask her to refrain from the distasteful behavior before fucking with her income stream. I can not like THOTs and hope that Twitch recognizes the issues with them; however, restricting content creator's ability to make money while they are clearly within the bounds of Twitch's rules is something she should seek legal remedy for. This is Twitch trying to straddle the line of being a progressive company that sees nothing wrong with the female body (and all the money they make off of it) while simultaneously keeping TOS such that they can claim to be family friendly.

If twitch can pull the ad revenue then streamers legally have grounds to flat out say no ads disrupting their content. May take a court battle for that to be carved on stone but it's something that should have occurred prior for a number of reasons.
They no longer are just "a platform" by doing this and thus should not have service provider immunity from copyright law if they can meddle that far.

I am not saying you're wrong but YouTube pulls the same bullshit so I have read. If a video gets demonetized they still play ads but the video creator gets no ad revenue.

They're probably hoping that there won't be too much outrage since she's just a whore. I'll admit I don't really care what they do to whores, but it's a precedent that you really can't let them set cause they won't stop with whores.

I think it's probably something they have to do or have issues with their advertisers, they're just doing it so backwards and wrong. They've handed out the straw themselves for her to create a 'there's no transparency' straw man for everyone to rally around when instead it should have been a new guideline or something about types of content not being eligible for ads and then enforcing that.

There is no way it doesn't get attention from other large creators, especially since they didn't say "its because youre doing your streams in hot tubs", or shadowban any other Hot Tub streamers, or even tell her when it happened, she had to notice when checking her dashboard. This just means twitch can turn off your ad rev, not tell you, for any reason AND keep monetizing you.
It's especially bad since they came out in defense of her and her streams and that they are within TOS.

I mean, they got got.
If this was the case, I can't imagine how they aren't still having to pay out his full contract.
