I see a lot of Russian streamers who stream right now.

They aren't being banned from using the site- so they can still stream and sell stuff- but they are being blocked from cashing out their earnings. It makes sense that people are still using the site, as this block is probably temporary and they will get access to the money eventually. From a technical standpoint it looks like the sites just "unverified" the bank connections, and aren't allowing new ones.
It seems like part of this is due to the fact that these sites used one of the banks that is currently sanctioned to handle the money conversation. People are still allowed to transfer to PayPal and convert there, but the rates are much worse. Since Twitch and OnlyFans haven't made a statement it's also possible they're looking into using one of the banks that isn't sanctioned yet.
