If it's not affecting Twitch's money, then don't count on it.
I really never got this meme. Phil is the 3151st "biggest" (read: smallest) channel on Twitch. They
do not care about his money at all,
especially since they're owned by Amazon.

To put this in more clear terms, if you were searching for Twitch streamers (assuming 25 channels per page) Phil would be on the
126th page.
Amazon most likely didn't buy Twitch to generate profit but instead to try and bruteforce their position in new media, like Amazon Prime vs Netflix. Netflix & YouTube are their serious competitors in online video and because Amazon owns Twitch it means they are more dominant in the livestreaming demographic (which is currently a fast developing area of media).
They are likely losing money at insane rates and not because of people like Phil but because the type of service it is means it is expensive to run. But it doesn't matter because Amazon funds them. Amazon will happily lose millions of dollars a year if it means they might gain in other sectors because they own Twitch.
Twitch not only relies on bits/cheers but also advertising and most importantly the ability for Amazon to continue to plug its core business which is selling shit online.
So not only does Phil make such an insignificant amount of money for them to not care about, its almost guaranteed that they are losing money and don't care about that to begin with,
because being profitable is not always the goal in business.
Example:
YouTube was still unprofitable as late as 2016/2017:

I don't really want to thought police people (nor will I do so) but all of this speculation implying that Twitch not only cares about Phil's money or that Twitch has to take time out of their day to deal with complaints made against some minor channel really credits Phil with being way more popular than he actually is.
To further point out how out of touch with reality this speculation is:
- Phil's channel:
- The top 100th streamer:
Phil is only 8% as popular as the 100th most popular streamer on Twitch (based upon followers)
