This is an interesting phenomenon.
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
