For those who desire the mildly infuriating. Please refrain from reposting memes. It's a new community we do not need recycled content! Thanks!
Unhappy posting!
twitch only cares about view counts and appearing to have integrity to advertisers, but mostly viewer counts
Yup. And the only reason advertisers would care is if it would hurt their standing with the general public. The vast, vast majority of people don't really know anything about it, thus pretty much nobody in the chain cares
W-what are you streaming step-twitch?
They do. It is working as intended
All titty streamers on the front page even though you've never watch one? Me too brother.
This is intentional, don't kid yourself... They've been allowing this for quite a long time because above all else, views are king
every generic front page of every content platform is garbage.
youtube, facebook, twitter, reddit, twitch, lemmy, mastodon, instagram, tiktok, imgur, github, stackoverflow...
there is no exception. if it's not curated to your logged in user preferences by default, it's a dumpster fire every time.
Twitch is owned and operated by Amazon. I wouldn't expect much.
What do you mean by “taken more seriously”?
i like your butthole
Thanks, it's 100% real.
Why is this infuriating?
The complaint I've heard is that Twitch suspends and penalizes streamers for minor violations of their ToS all the time but leave the quasi-porn channels alone because they rake in the views.
This is a bit tangential, but I came across a religious woman on Reddit a while back that regularly uploaded videos to YouTube which consisted of her reading from the Bible and giving her own lectures on Christianity and godly morals while wiggling her toes in the camera. She had a decent following of people pretending that they loved her spirituality while "ignoring" the inherently fetishizing sexual nature.
Her channel was completely devoid of any age restrictions or content warning.
It's a smart angle to be honest.
Sure, Twitch's imbalanced application of ToS is ridiculous, but these streamers don't infuriate me for showing skin.
