twitch only cares about view counts and appearing to have integrity to advertisers, but mostly viewer counts

[–] Alto@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago

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?

[–] dabu@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They do. It is working as intended

[–] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

All titty streamers on the front page even though you've never watch one? Me too brother.

[–] qwertyWarlord@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

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.

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.
