I don't believe Hanlon's bollocks anymore, they know what they're doing. Even if big companies are pulling this kind of thing just to line their pockets I don't see what difference it makes when they're so complicit in breeding the degeneracy that surrounds us.
"Major corporations have one permanent over-arching interest: money."
In days past, sure, but I think those days are long gone, it's a willfully ignorant or falsified, leftist viewpoint that the only function of corporations is profit. Whilst I'm sure, to them, number one is still money, the close number two is a lot more insidious.
No the admins are legit simplords who chase after the thots hoping to get in their pants. They camp 24/7 in thot streams and discords trying to become the closest beta orbiters and often are some of the biggest gifters/donators under pseudonyms.
I'm not joking or exaggerating.
Money and power are secondary for pretty much all of the power level admins responsible for the day to day stuff, and the higher level ones that weren't axed or absorbed just do whatever the Amazon higher management tells them to.
Recommendations are based on "interactions" and not total viewers. Since Simps are there to Simp, e-thots have more "interactions" than other streamers.
You could argue that it was made this way to support e-thots and I'd agree with you. Twitch is a soft core porn website now.
Twitch wants to make money, so they promote streamers with higher rates of "audience interaction" aka receiving donations, from which twitch takes a cut.
Attractive women in revealing clothes garner the most donations (for obvious reasons), so those women tend to float to the top of recommendation pages.
Most of twitch's audience are minors.
1 + 2 + 3 = twitch's primary business model is selling very softcore porn to literal children
They promote trannies on the front page all the time. The pogchamp thing finally is what broke my twitch habits.
Trovo is an alternative with a small, mostly non-english community and seems mostly to have battle royale games but at least I haven't seen it showcase dumbasses who list pronouns in their overlay.
While I think the primary reason has already been covered, if we think it from their perspective of "equality, equity and inclusion", we know equality doesn't matter and inclusion isn't really a problem given the fairly open platform.
This leaves equity, and on average men perform better on Twitch than women long-term. Women attract initial viewers easier, but said audience is quicker to leave compared to those of male streamers, probably because the men have to work harder to actually entertain their audience.
What does this mean? Encouraged simping aka more business, probably. But worth contextualizing in the language of progressive tech, which is that women are oppressed and need help.
I've noticed that. Not a fan but twitch does this equity thing for a while. And is not just about the money from simps as people think.
I doubt a thot with less then 1k viewers makes more money in donations then a streamer with 5-10k viewers.
Add to this that you get some ugly women sometimes and even trannies, it is just classical leftist equity. If I had a decent alternative I would use it.
Females, blacks, and anyone with the LGBTQIA+ tag seem to get promoted. As others have said, there's a lot of simping going on, but there is certainly also wokeism, and that includes your standard female supremacy.
Yes but not for the reasons you think. It's more to do with SIMP culture than female supremacism.
Those two things are one and the same

Hanlon's razor is fair when you don't know what the intention of someone is.
Major corporations have one permanent over-arching interest: money.
So, is the purpose money related, or ideology related, when the interest is money.
Money, duh.

It's probably not "we want simp bucks" but just "we want bucks". E-thots and their simps generate a lot of bucks, so push them first.

Interactions. Like "tips"?
Yup but it's plain old money chasing. Simping, not feminism.
That’s the simps fault, not Twitch. If they stop being degenerates, this all goes away.
Got to apply Occam's razor. It's simpler if they just want money than if they're part of some conspiracy.
Occam and Hanlon need to be introduced to my friend Synergy.
This is an interesting phenomenon.

That and poorly passing trannies.
twitch is a website of pimps
It's literally just you. Your perception of the world is irreparably warped.
Nope, whores with few viewers are recommended a lot
It's partly him, but I'd bet money they have algorithms to promote attractive women because it makes them money.
His view is quite warped, but he isn't wrong either. Twitch has an unhealthy relationship with thots and promoting them.
Wow, you choose this to criticize him over?
He often takes things way too far, in my opinion, but he's completely correct on this one...

It's true.
Boobies sell. As far as I can tell, it's just the market talking.
