      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.

      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.

        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.

      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.
