Kai Cenat had a unique take on how to settle the streaming community’s anger towards Twitch management: hold a big Discord call with all the top streamers and the company’s CEO.
The top streamer, who recently launched a new streaming show on Rumble with IShowSpeed, proposed the solution on stream in the wake of significant backlash to Twitch’s new policies, which would clamp down on streamers’ rights to show advertisements or other sponsored content.
The policies were slammed for limiting creator freedom by some of the largest members of the streaming community, and led to Twitch apologising for the “mess up”. However, tension between Twitch and its top talent remains high.

“Twitch CEO, let’s sit down in a Discord call, how about that? Look, get the top streamers on your platform, put us in a Discord call. If you’re really about that, put us in a Discord call, OK?

It’s a bold plan, but with the way things are going, it’s clear that Twitch need to be more connected with the opinon of its top talent, so they can avoid backlash about further changes. Maybe a roundtable with the biggest stars on the site is what’s needed to get everyone on the same page.
