Which suggests that a less prudish content policy at Twitch might have kept OnlyFans from ever being created in the first place. They literally drove those consumers away to other platforms, squandering their early and dominant position in the market.
- hacketthfk 3y agoThere is a reason porn sites are a separate category and not a section of mainstream sites. I don't want to see porn when I watch news or video games. If I want to see porn, I know where to find it.
- Washuu 3y agoDuring this past Christmas Twitch "meta" I could not even link clips to friends because it would bring up "related" popular clips of what was basically soft core porn. It goes beyond what we want to watch. It affects how I can use and interact with the service to other people.
- echelon 3y agoTwitch should de-boost such content. That's the easiest method. Super easy to implement and moderate, no waffling on the rules, users are kept happy.
- philwelch 3y agoMuch easier said than done. A million camgirls all trying to boost their engagement are going to find ways to game your algorithm faster than you are going to find ways to de-boost them. It’s the same fundamental reason Google is overrun with SEO spam and content farms that they can’t simply “de-boost”.
- corobo 3y ago> There is a reason porn sites are a separate category and not a section of mainstream sites. Aye. Payment providers. Porn is "high risk" and the fees for processing payments for it are way higher.
- philwelch 3y agoCamgirl sites already existed before Twitch, let alone OF. It’s hard to see how turning Twitch into another camgirl site would have been a better strategy than creating a streaming platform for watching people play video games, which was an entirely new niche. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to complain when platforms that were never meant for porn get relentlessly spammed by camgirls.
