I know this is low hanging fruit (like the assests of many of the women causing the issue) but thought it would be a light subject to bring attention to and wait for the incoming train...
I was watching this video about the current state if Twitch after the TOS debacle. It's so bad that they are naked with literal black bars covering them and the just chatting page is full of thots.
So I did an experiment with my own Twitch account, went onto just chatting and sure enough, lots of topless thots on display and twerking streams BUT a significant thing to mention, this was it filtered to Recommended for you and their viewer figures are abysmal being on average 700 viewers. Sargon gets more viewers than that when he streams. There does seem to be a higher viewership with the Asian thots but then they also seem to not just stare at the camera like a cow chewing grass all day.
I then switched the filters to view count only and bam! All topless and twerking thots erased, it actually became more male dominated with podcasts, IRL streaming at a certain location and Vtubers.
So this is the part that puzzles me, why PUSH the thot content when it isn't as popular as someone just walking around, is drawing the attention of app stores (since you're meant to be 13+), advertisers and more troubling payment processors like Mastercard and Paypal for Chaterbate rejects? This WILL eventually cause some kind of withdrawal by advertisers maybe even app stores which will draw in Amazon who wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice Twitch to ensure THEY aren't affected.
Do the want Kick and Youtube to surpass them in streaming or are they all grossly incompetent to manage anything? I don't really care as I'm preparing popcorn for the car crash but it's was funny finding out that sex DOESN'T ALWAYS sell, depends on the source a lot of the time.
Bear in mind, viewer numbers aren't the only factor in monetary value. Thots can (and potentially do) make Twitch a good amount of money through viewer memberships and donations even if each streamer does not draw a large audience. As of yet, horny whales aren't extinct.
With that said, kicking out the girls would take out some of that audience and revenue. You've salvaged ads, but how do you recover the revenue? More ads? Viewers generally don't like that. And streamers don't want you taking a bigger cut of memberships/donations either.
Twitch probably wants to do as little as possible to satiate advertisers and retain the "content."
I'd be less concerned about ads as that's canary in the coal mine. I'd be more worried if payment processors decide they don't want to do business or if the app store decides you aren't 13+ anymore..
Yeah, I'm not sure why payment processors are being so inconsistent here so far. Normally they have knee-jerk reactions to this kind of thing.
I was also going to bring up stock, but then I checked and confirmed that it would be Amazon stock value. Which I guess gives Twitch a protective shield in that way.
I assume Amazon is just looking at Mastercard and VISA, and going "really? You're going to prevent the use of your cards... to Amazon? You're going to spit in the face of Lord Bezos?" and then moving on.
I should mention I was grouping those in with advertisers. I don't know that their demands will differ too much regarding sexual content.
Demands being different, probably not.
Impact of their decisions, it's the difference between a tactical strike and a fire bombing as, for instance, Twitch was dropped from the app store since they aren't 13+ anymore, Amazon would, without hesitation purge ALL management there immediately just to show they aren't the same as Twitch.
With payment processors that would be a lot quicker as well as a mass migration of streamers to YouTube, Kick hell even Rumble at that point.
