| Submission declined on 30 October 2023 by Nagol0929 (talk). Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability.

Hot tub streaming, also known as hot tub meta, is a genre of livestreaming in which online streamers, most often women, stream in hot tubs or swimming pools wearing bikinis.[1] The practice was popularized on Twitch, by streamers such as Amouranth.[2]
Platforms
[edit]On May 21, 2021, Twitch added a streaming category titled "Pools, Hot Tubs and Beaches" along with restating policies on nudity and explicit content.[3][4] This allowed online advertisers to choose to be advertised on hot tub streams or not.[5]
The platform Kick, has a similar category, with the option for users to hide the category, along with gambling streams, a feature announced by Trainwreckstv.
Controversy
[edit]The genre has garnered controversy from both streamers and viewers.[6] Streamer, Adin Ross stated the content is harmful to viewers, addicting, and called for the category to be banned.[7] Similar sentiments have been shared by streamers such as XQc, and others.
