    The only thing that really bothers me is that the porn get shoved on the front page.

    I wanna open Twitch on my living room TV to watch SC2 and tiveux something is painting her tits on my screen already.

        Just stop watching shit using twitch streams like a 10yo because it’s trash software and always has been.

          It works fine for me, but I mostly watch one streamer who only streams on Twitch. My ad blocker blocks their stupid ads on stuff I periodically check out that I’m not subbed to (e.g. MP events hosted by someone else), so it’s generally a good experience.

          However, the front page is absolute cancer, and it’s why I don’t watch many other streams. I just want my steamer and related content, and a few random favorited streamers from other games I very occasionally watch. I feel a little bad about the ad blocker, but that’s because there’s no in-between AFAIK where I can sub to 1-2 channels and still get no ads on the very rare occasions I’ll watch something else (less than once/month).

            I do this with 1 streamer, too. I sub with prime though.

            Ive seen the odd stream of a related streamer but normally just catch vods on youtube for anyone related.

            Who is your one streamer out of interest?

    I’m surprised how much pearl clutching there is in this thread. This seems like a good thing. It’s all supposed to be clearly labeled, and if people want to watch streams with nudity, what’s wrong with that?

      The twitch boob meta always fascinated me. It’s literally trivial to not watch thirst streams if you don’t like thirst streams. But people on the internet get so fucking upset about it, and I assume at least 100% of them consume actual porn.

        For me it’s how popular and accessible twitch is for kids.

        I’ve never really used twitch for anything except getting drops for games (160p and muted lol) but every time I see titty streamers getting recommended despite never watching any

          While porn sites are well protected behind a question. Ultimately it’s up to parents to monitor their kids media consumption.

    Viral topless “meta”??? I haven’t heard about any topless meta. What have I been missing? The article only references a single instance in which a streamer got banned, and that hardly makes a meta. What has the Twitch streamer community response been?

    People in this thread really pretending they have kids in order to get upset about implied nudity. It does not get more american does it? Some chick showing lots of boobie sure seems to be the same like a girl getting banged by big dick to many here.

    Also if you actually think that some nudity will wreck your kid but watching gta does not i am not sure why anyone bothers arguing with you.

      You might as well tell people they are not good parents if they allow their children the moral ambiguity of playing cowboys and indians and watching pirate of the Caribbeans with that sort of level of logic. Sometimes the biggest caricatures are those accusing other people of being it. Sorry for offending your sensibilities for thinking there should be enough distinction as to keep children away from prostitution. Is clicking on a different url for the same thing really that hard for you?
