I'm not convinced that the changes to Twitch's Partner programs have anything to do with this gambling ban. I think the two events just happened to coincide. The real question is "why did it take Twitch so long to ban non-US gambling?" Like you mentioned, the controversy from these gambling streams is not new. Did Twitch decide that the controversy finally outweighed the revenue they generate from these streams? Did Twitch fear that they faced potential liability for hosting these streams? Or did someone at Twitch leadership suddenly develop a conscience?

The change in sub split is entirely unrelated to the gambling. I don't mean to imply otherwise. That's been coming for awhile. I only bring it up because it's part of larger Twitch changes this year. It's going to hit streamer revenue. The banning of crypto slots is another massive blow to a lot of streamer revenue. To be clear, I 100% support the crypto slots ban on Twitch.
