one can see this on twitch, as well. A couple of years ago the least tame streamers were working out or doing "Let's Dance" - but since January of this year the number of people in "hot tubs" and bikinis has gone up exponentially.
The primary issue (and one i have with it even if i am assuredly not a prude) is that Twitch is aimed at people under 20, their largest self-reported demographic is ages 13-19. Twitch (and let's be honest here, this is Amazon we're talking about) recently banned the top two female streamers for "showing hips in a suggestive way" or whatever. Both of these women have OF pages prominently advertised as well. Both are back now, and there's no indication that they've changed their overall model / operation on Twitch.
I imagine that Twitch telling the 4,000,000 'followers' to these two streamers that they didn't want their money anymore probably backfired. My understanding is that money transacted through amazon for twitch is split in two - that is, the streamer gets $2.50 for every subscription, Amazon gets the other $2.50. If the conversion for those 4 million followers is 1% subscriptions, Twitch taking a hit of $200,000 a month might seem insignificant, but that's just the conversion for those two streamers - not the overall loss of subscriptions by annoying 4 million people!
