No, they don't want to admit to being a porn site. Tying themselves in knots with silly rules like this means they're just a gateway for people to promote their OnlyFans pages.
If they want to be a game streaming site, why allow player video at all? Pare it back to what it was actually for.
- tolbish 5y agoWhat happens when advertisers do not care about pornographic content?
- frosted-flakes 5y agoThat will happen if society at large does not care about pornographic content. Which is unlikely to happen anytime soon.
- danso 5y agoThey aren’t just a game streaming site. “Just Chatting” is a huge category, as is live music
- throwaway292893 5y agoBoth of those categories are where most of these girls are, they are the bulk of those categories.
- ludamad 5y agoThey don't want to be whatever the market calls a porn site. Advertising a porn site is a lesser taboo I love the weird twitch content BTW, so I wouldn't want to pare down for the sake of risque entertainers
- SubiculumCode 5y agoI'd say that is more true of tiktok et al than twitch.
- hellotomyrars 5y agoThere is clearly value in the experience of being able to see the person playing the game. It might even be inherently important to the gameplay in some circumstances. The whole thing is personality based entertainment for the most part and you get a lot more personality across when you can see the streamer. I generally don’t enjoy Twitch because of the nakedness (no pun intended)of the business side. Twitch has every aspect of adult cam sites except explicit content and streamers obviously react and are incentives to interact when people toss them dollars but it makes for a poor viewing experience to me. But they are certainly continuing to fumble on where they’re choosing to draw lines on what is or isn’t explicit.
