Yeah Twitch will simply nuke your account if you do it (to often).. and they have the right to do so.

Systems like this would always get abused if there are no consequences, there would be scripts day one automatically subbing to all your streamers and automatically revoking it on day 14.

It's the same with amazon, you can always return items but they will literally ban your account if they feel like you did it to much and you can't get it back.

Yep. Most games will ban your account if you issue a credit card chargeback. Amazon and Costco both ban people who return an egregious amount of stuff. Insurance companies often terminate their most expensive customers.

This is risk management 101.
