Twitch & Their Competitors / r/LivestreamFail / Live Streamer Community - Imitation of Hollywood

I actually think that they're gonna push the nudity thing again. They've been seemingly indicating they want some kind of Twitch after dark service for a few years now. I think they still want that.

After all, what's better than an army of parasocial people who get indocturnated into that lifestyle when they're like 14 or 15 who spend copious amounts of money on the website? Eventually they're gonna want something a little rougher than softcore bikini shots and they'll make a lot of money leeching off of porn addicted kids.

I fully expect that, while they feel they opened Pandora's box too quickly, they're gonna start re-adding things slowly till we get right back to where we were.
I'm surprised no tradcons in congress have launched an investigation on this or even talked about it.

Sure grooming has become a "dogwhistle" for shitlibs but even the vast majority of liberals would freak out a bit about literal pornstars doing what amounts to kid shows only to lure said kids away into buying their porn content and become paypigs.

I know I'm late to the peanut gallery here. But, I really don't understand the whole "Yes but, no Pornography" take Twitch has. This feels 'similar' but opposite to when Only-Fans wanted to go No-Porn. Neither move worked for the respective site and they went back on the original move nearly immediately. I personally can't make sense of why either company did these things. If it's for advertisement I'm still confused because I would think similar advertisers would be on both platforms. I've heard of banks refusing to do business with porn related sites in similar ways where they just cut ties with them.

I'm truly puzzled as to wtf is going on here.

I honestly think amazon just lets twitch run itself and the admins are such simp coomers that they somehow convinced a higher up to try and allow actual porn, I will admit it is pretty smart to have mods and admins that basically throw their entire paycheck back into twitch so some e girl says their name. They probably showed them the amount of income the softcore pron streamers generate and instantly got approved.

It's pretty simple.

Twitch wants to keep growing - they want more streamers, more watchers, more advertisers, and ultimately more money. They're in a weird position because they have inorganically grown a segment of their market around what is essentially softcore pornography. It doesn't technically break any rules so they never stamped it out and now it's a huge part of the platform.

The problems they have are as follows.
- They can't lean more into the porn as it creates issues with advertisers (doubly so the advertisers who are targeting the 13-18 group) and negative press from people already mad about what goes on a video game streaming site. This is important because a lot of high level esports partner/stream on Twitch, so it's not like it doesn't matter.
- They can't lean away from it without a huge backlash from the whores and the army of simps. It's a ton of bad publicity whenever it happens that they would rather try and avoid. They know if they push too hard they're going to just throw that whole market segment away to Onlyfans/whatever else or lose their "woke" status.

So they're stuck in this weird holding pattern, however...
- Credit card companies hate porn. Porn purchases are the most likely to be fraudulent, stolen cards, charge backs, and because Twitch is a site for children already - version of "Timmy stole daddy's credit card". Credit card companies really want payments to be a well oiled machine and Twitch is a fucking mess. If they didn't have Amazon backing them, they would be in huge trouble.
- Twitch streamers are not actual employees - they're welcome to do whatever they want. This means they can do porn, run scams, lie about shit, fuck up copyright, etc with no career reproductions. They negative press they generate gets thrown at Twitch as if they were actual employees.
- Twitch streamers (doubly so the whores) benefit from negative publicity. Each time a whore discovers some new "pornish but not against the rules" meta - their stream explodes in popularity, making them untold piles of cash overnight. This means that Twitch has thousands of people trying to find any exploit they can find because there's a gigantic pile of money at the end of the rainbow.

So they're kind of fucked if they do, fucked if they don't. They should just eat the bullet and move all the whores to a different site and keep it 18+ but they're so afraid of rocking the boat that they'll happily sit in this narrow grave they've dug for themselves.
 
New Twitch Meta has dropped. The thot covers herself with censor bars (though allegedly she wears a bra and is just chasing for clout)

I'm not religious but all these retards, on both sides of the camera, unironically need Jesus in their lives. I'll take a second Sodom and Gomorrah as a welcome runner-up.
 
My nibba, we've gone full hentai. Can't show you the tiddy, but we'll make you imagine it
Hentai at least shows you tits. This is just teaser porn. Maybe Twitch should make a new service. Call it Thotch or something dumb and ban every thot who pulls these stuntzs there. Their simps can go there and throw them money and the normies stay on Nice Twitch. Any any thot who tries this shit gets kick back to the backroom to suck some admins off
 
It had nudity and implied sex, but the tits in the FMVs were censored with either strategic positioning or bright white glare. Also that game would have probably been rated M if the ESRB actually played through the whole game.
ESRB was just like everyone else and choose not to play it.
Never paid much attention to the ESRB; but after Dante's Inferno, which featured full frontal Satan penis, I have a hard time believing anything they say.

Like was mentioned, the ESRB only plays some of any given game. A "vertical slice" that devs provide. This has led to a variety of questionable ratings over the years. You can find lists of games that were rerated post release based on things they hid from the ESRB. What's weird is I don't think there is any repercussions for devs for doing that. Aside from any potential PR hit at least.
