From a strictly viewer standpoint it makes sense. A barcraft has a few hundred people watching 1 stream. Meaning for every ad they run they get 1 view. Numerous barcrafts would cost them a lot of money.
Whether they should try and ban them is another story though.

I was actually thinking about this a while ago: from an e-sports growth perspective, barcrafts are good: but from GOMTV's perspective, they are 'losing' viewer numbers, which are a statistic that they can use to entice sponsors in. It's a really weird issue: perhaps they will have to start selling a different premium for barcraft, much how PPVs can be sold to a single person, or to an establishment (see: UFC being shown in a sports club).
