    Ive seen 2, max.

    If this is your current state of twitch, its because you keep clicking on boobi. Quit clicking on boobi if you dont want to be seeing boobi.

      Ive heard this over and over, but it’s bullshit.

      I watch half a dozen streamers on twitch. 4 apex legends streamers and 2 developers(all dudes because that seems somewhat relevant). I don’t browse random streams and I don’t click on anything.

      Occasionally, I’ll end up watching other streamers if my guys raid someone as they sign off. But never are they raiding “boobi” streams. It’s usually other apex streamers or other devs.

      The other day, home page was filled with tits and scantally clad ladies. The recommended feeds were almost all that.

      So I’m not clicking on it. I’m not seeking it out. I’m not even hovering over it. But it was pushing that content hard.

    This makes me feel disappointed. I still remember when I discovered twitch years ago an thought “a whole site for livestreams of people playing videogames? That is so cool!”. Nothing lasts forever I guess …

      Without intentional effort to prevent it, every platform eventually becomes some level of this.

      Youtube: remember when they had to scrap “reply” videos because they were all borderline NSFW spam?

      Onlyfans: was originally intended to be a platform for fans of fashion, idols, etc. I guess they just embraced it since then.

      Tumblr: banned NSFW content because they thought they were becoming a porn site and didn’t want to moderate that.

      Reddit: Segregated it and relies on community moderation, because otherwise it’s like half of the front page.

      Twitter: it’s still all over, under most popular posts. I don’t know if they moderate it out or not.

        Reddit: intentionally curating the internet’s biggest high school to onlyfans content pipeline.

        FTFY. I am genuinely shocked they haven’t been called out for this yet.

            Reddit allows people as young as 13 to sign up. It is also one of the biggest sites for OF marketing on the Internet, and the site itself is probably at least 20-30% porn depending on how you measure it. This isn’t even some hypothetical thing, you can go see people with 5 year old reddit accounts making posts like “now that I’m 18 I can finally show you my butthole.”

            To be clear here my crusade is not against porn on Reddit, it’s against children on Reddit, and not because I care about guarding their virtue or anything, but originally because I thought reddit was better before it got infested with teenagers, and now because I want to see the site burn, so this seems like a good string to pull.

        They used to try, now they don’t at all.

            Unless it was just urban legend, VHS supposedly won out over Betamax because there was more porn available. It was the first “killer app” and helped make early rental stores profitable.

            And similar things happened with all forms of the internet: Gopher, BBS (though maybe less so, it was before my time and so bandwidth limited), Hotline, the original cam girls and blogs.

            It’s just porn, all the way down. That’s why it’s called the oldest profession.

    I’ll never understand how Twitch became as big as a thing as it is.

    "So you’re telling me that instead of watching a fifteen minutes of nicely edited video of content I can watch for hours of a greasy man in a tank top play a game for four hours and get fifteen minutes of good content in the time span? "(Literally) “Take my money!”

    There’s still tons of video game streamers. In fact, even if 10k titty streamers join the site, that doesn’t push even a single video game streamer out.

    There’s a market for both things, and neither thing is eating the audience of the other.

    This is all just stupid neo-puritanical pearl clutching.

    A woman showing her tits on twitch isn’t going to hurt you, or anyone else.

    Never seen these cam girls everyone complains about on my twitch feed. I don’t seek that stuff out though either. You can also filter out content in settings, but I’ve never had to. This “problem” seems like a non issue.

      If you click “I want to watch mature content” on any profanity stream such as Soda or Summit your feed magically starts filling up with titty streamers.

      The notion that you need to seek them out first is false.

    I don’t get some of these comments. You can want to avoid random nudity without bring a prude or jealous.

    I’d argue that a LOT of people are not interested in seeing 99.9% of the population naked, and there should be nothing wrong with that. I don’t care what they look like. Sometimes people just don’t want to look at rectums.

    The mindset of “you have to be happy about unexpectedly seeing a stranger naked or you’re a prude” also doesn’t sit right with me.

    I would have just stopped using twitch, personally.

    They should change the name to Twatch.

    I’ll see myself out.

    Buy my girlfriend a pregnancy test while I’m out…
