Guessing it's related to people streaming on the Artifact section on Twitch. Basically, there was a popular streamer who would joke about how nobody was streaming the game, so people start streaming porn, Avengers: Endgame, etc, so they'd be at the top of the list of Artifact streams when the popular streamer looked at the streams. It lasted for a few days, with Twitch doing nothing about it. The lawsuit seems like they're trying to save face because they failed to do anything about it for way too long. https://apptrigger.com/2019/05/28/artifact-twitch-channels-porn-anime/ https://apptrigger.com/2019/05/28/artifact-twitch-channels-p...

>showing downright despicable content such as Adolph Hitler propaganda, videos of beheadings, varying interests of pornography and even streams of anime programming That sentence makes it sound like anime is worse than beheadings and Nazi propaganda.

  That's because it (the anime programming and pornography) is worse. At least from a corporate perspective. For the same reasons tumblr banned pornography, yet still hasn't done anything to fight child pornography, child abuse, or grooming on their platform. For the same reasons youtube demonetizes videos about legal education or discussing alphabet/google/youtube policies, yet still allows child grooming and radicalization to be monetized and recommended to children. As always: money.

    That's from the perspective of Twitch not the article author's. I quoted it because I found it funny and I think that's what the author was going for, but now I'm regretting it a little since I feel like I just got baited.

      Yeah, the last line of the article seals it as an intentional joke. > Just like anime, Artifact was a mistake

        That part is true though

        For those who don't know, it's a play on "Anime was a mistake"[0] which is a quotation jokingly attributed to Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli). [0] https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/anime-was-a-mistake https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/anime-was-a-mistake

      Great counter-argument.

      This is well documented [0] and has been going on for years. Rather than take a straightforward approach of hiring more community managers (which is expensive) to solve the problem they instead rely on algorithms that punish probable child abuse with demonetization (harking back to my earlier point that it's all about money) rather than say banning and reporting to authorities.
