Streamer xoAeriel is asking Twitch to take action after multiple fake channels surfaced streaming her adult content without permission.
Twitch has been feeling the pressure lately amid the ongoing “nakedness” meta, and streamers have accused the site of failing to stop channels from rebroadcasting their content.
On December 11, xoAeriel revealed that she was facing imposters who replayed her content for months and made money in the process.
In a series post on XThe streamer has called on Twitch to implement a verification system, saying the site is not doing enough to prevent the redistribution of her content – something that has been happening for years.
Twitch is accused of allowing fake channels to rebroadcast content
According to xoAeriel, despite reporting the fake channels more than three times and many others reporting them as well, they are still active.
“This has been happening to my account for YEARS. Twitch needs to do some type of verification process. People were literally streaming my adult content on Twitch and it STILL took them over 8 hours to delete that day,” she explained.
Speaking to Dexerto, xoAeriel recalled being in tears the day her OnlyFans content was rebroadcast.
“I had to go live and start crying, begging Twitch to take it down with about 2,000 viewers because they wouldn’t ban the channel,” she said.
Now, instead of OnlyFans, these impostor channels continuously rebroadcast her hot tub content. The streamer says that these channels include links to Discord servers that redistribute all the content.
XoAeriel is hardly the only streamer where this happens. Back in November, Emily Rinaudo criticized the platform after a fake channel grew to more than 7,000 followers by reblogging her content.
So, what benefits do these channels gain from rebroadcasting old VODs? According to xoAeriel, all channels lead back to a Discord server with a huge content library.
“Often it’s the same people starting new channels. There is a wife and husband who run a Discord server and a yoga channel,” she explains. “They keep creating more of my channels to make money from subscriptions. Secondary exchange for Discord. Each new sub has a video released on Discord.”
A channel shared with Dexerto has existed since January and continues to stream despite reports and reports sent to Twitch.
“It usually takes Twitch from 3 days to 2-3 months to delete an account,” she said. “What a mole.”
