  You’re in luck! There are millions of people playing games on Twitch. Who knew?

  Well, you see, it turned out that people are far more willing to fork over money when they get to see boobs instead of noobs.

  goes on Twitch

  finds game

  watches someone play it

  At some point in there I completely ignored all the discount OnlyFans over on IRL and Just Chatting tags.

  That said: An opt-in with specific categories would halt a lot of the people complaining. Been awhile since I’ve dug into websites design, though thay shouldn’t be too difficult to implement, especially as they already have tags.

    There’s a lot of good content under the umbrella of. Just chatting. From scam baiters to glassblowers and musicians, all trying to do their best to attract viewers.

  It hasn’t been strictly gaming for many years,

  What is interesting is if you don’t click on or watch those streams Twitch doesn’t recommend them to you.

  A lot of the complaining is often just an unaware self report which is kinda funny.

    No, they’ll definitely still show on the front page if under Just Chatting, even if you log out, open a private window, or use a different computer altogether. It’s basically random, as far as I can tell, or just showing popular streams (or both).

    • ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Sure, but you should be aware that logging out, using a private window, or a different computer are all sure fire ways to ensure it acts as close to randomly or popular as possible.

      The 18+ streams shouldn’t be freely advertised until the user has identified themselves as 18+ at any rate.

        True, no disagreement there

    See people said this about tiktok too and whole for the most part it’s true they’ll still push it in your face every now and then.

    I’ve blocked or clicked “not interested” on every clearly sexualized video yet they keep showing up.

    They recommend what’s popular. The biggest issue is there’s enough simps with endless money watching these streamers/content creators that they’re not going away anytime soon

      I don’t use tiktok and haven’t ever so I’ll have to take your word on that.

      I suspect ignoring content is way more influential to the algorithm. But at the same time I spend relatively little to no time just browsing streamer channels.

      It really seems like seeing something sexy every now and then isn’t really pushing it into faces. But if anything I do not think Twitch is readily prepared or equipped to adequately sequester their 18+ content given the absolute reliance on users and streamers to self report their content and access to it.

  Your comment insinuates that you have trouble finding gamers on the platform, as if there’s a finite limit on creator count and the gamers are getting pushed out by non-gaming creators, which is obviously not the case.

  Is it a matter of going to Twitch for games but then getting roped in by the porn instead? If so, that’s pretty funny tbh.

    I don’t use twitch anymore. And porn doesn’t need to be everywhere. There’s a place for it. There’s nothing wrong with specific platforms. I wouldn’t want a restaurant that sold porn in the back rooms either.

    It’s mostly that the front page is increasingly being titty streamers, which really isn’t a problem, but isn’t super fun to land on every day.

    It’s also heavily pushed in recommendations if other viewers of a stream you’re watching are regular watchers (ex. I’m watching shroud, but a ton of shrouds viewers also watch titty streamers, so I must want to as well)

    Honestly it’s just more annoying than anything else. There’s no viewership loss implications for streamers, despite what some scream about.
