Amazon has bought it like a decade ago and it hasn't been profitable even a single year.
All they care about is advertisement money, so they stopped counting people that are inactive for long times, using adblocks, using 3-rd party players as real viewers.
Most likely because some top advertisement dude came to twitch and said that advertisers pay them x amount for y amount of views / potential interactions, but the actual stats show that it's way off than twitch represents, and it's because of previously mentioned reasons that makes people that are not actually looking at the screen being counted as monetized viewers.
So twitch now only counts people that are most likely actually looking at the screen and seeing the ads as the viewers (aside from subs and twitch turbo). They want to mid max ads revenue/stats and make twitch finally profitable.
