How much are they making in ads?
It seems to me that being the middleman in all that money shower is more profitable

Ads are much more important to the money stream than donations. A Coke advertising deal is much more lucrative compared to even the most loaded of coomer whales.
The thing is, most ad companies are HIGHLY against being associated with porn of any kind, because they immediately lose their "family friendly" image and become tainted. That's why porn sites only get ads for...well, porn. its the only ads they can run.
Still, they HAD to have know the ad companies would have thrown a giant shitfit.

I am genuinely shocked. I fully expected Twitch to double down on their updated policy until there was some major inciting incident. I'm sure they'll find some other way to let topless hot tub streamers skirt the rules anyway, but I applaud them for recognizing this particularly awful mistake before going on and ruining something else about their platform.

I guarantee this wasn't twitch's decision, it was their advertisers. But they can't say that or the money will stop flowing

So, wait...

>So, effective today, we are rolling back the artistic nudity changes. Moving forward, depictions of real or fictional nudity won’t be allowed on Twitch, regardless of the medium. This restriction does not apply to Mature-rated games. You can find emote-specific standards for nudity and sexual content in the Emote Guidelines. We aren’t making other changes to the updated Sexual Content Policy.

So you can't stream games with nudity, unless they are Mature-rated games. Aren't most of them? What narrow window of content does this change actually impact?

Twitch is such an anomaly of a platform. Every streamer I watch has this blatant distrust for it - and its been this way for many years. They all openly discuss how the rules aren't fairly applied and how they make genuinely stupid changes. It's users universally view it as imcompetant and after this breakneck policy flipflop you can see why. Even youtubers aren't this blackpilled about the state of their platform. Twitch is this behemoth staple of the Internet but they have zero brand loyalty.

And I just think that's kind of interesting.

It's the nature of being the biggest game in town. There's not a huge alternative and both Twitch and the streamers know that but there's enough of a market opening up that it's possible someone could jump ship and take away their revenue, if only for a little while, and as a retard pretending to be a business owner that scares the shit out of you.

I went and actually checked the site, the "Just chatting" Category still has multiple topless women with their nips just out of frame, multiple girls doing yoga in thongs, and generally several dozen women in various compromising positions. So, status quo I guess, it's just the artists drawing porn getting fucked.

Have you ever seen a video game rated E or T with bare titties popping out at you?
 
They 100% realized it was going to turn Twitch into OnlyFans 2.0 or a pornhub-light. People were already flooding the main page with full nudity while playing game streams. It was only going to get worse. It would have only taken a few days to get 100% NSFW content on the front page. (People weren't flagging it and only putting 18+ at the end of long ass titles.)

People would have pushed every limit. Someone would have eventually tried softcore nudity/sex. The hot tub meta is the perfect example of this. People are still putting up gifs on reddit of all the nude body paint and spread vulva lips bits that happened in the last 24 hours.

Amazon and other advertisers likely freaked the fuck out. Mainstream news and parent groups got wind of it and are still freaking out. I wouldn't be suprised if payment processors threatened them.

Nevermind the very real problem of simps and e-thots doing it to promote their actual OnlyFans/porn channels are still there.

Edit: And never mind the massive heat they would take from politicians and police for the massive wave of effective CP from kids who "have to make it" as a streamer. :stress:

I don't think a kid-targeted company spinning off a hardcore porn subsidiary would go over very well.

They could easily do it, they have all the infrastructure in place. Just clone the codebase, swap out the branding, and register some new domains. They could do it in an afternoon for $100 or so.

But they don't want to split, they know the big bucks comes from the built-in audience on the existing platform. There's a decade of user base growth that's too valuable to give up, that they'll never replicate on a completely standalone site. So they're trying to extract normie coomer bucks without saying that's what they're doing.

The Twitch hot tub thot audience is the same audience for late night softcore Cinemax movies. People who don't want to move too far from their normal consumption to get a little titillation, even if there's more explicit content freely available elsewhere.
