Apparently a high profile streamer was recently sexually assaulted on camera at twitch con.

The offender was escorted away by private security hired by the streamer herself, not twitch security. They have yet to find the perp, but twitch supposedly banned him (meaning twitch knows who he is and haven't notified police).
Twitch had dealt with stalkers before, and their response was to ban the private security guards who fought off the creeps. They put out messaging claiming their security is top notch, then blame the victims for not moderating their streams, as if that does anything to stop real creeps at real meetups.
The incompetence and deflection, combined with the business model of twitch streams, leads me to believe twitch knows who their primary audience is: stalkers and molesters willing to fork over 5$ to get the streamer to say their name.
Sure, go stream Amouranth's ASMR videos to a bunch of kids and see how much their parents appreciate the "company service".
Thots ruined Twitch. Twitch wouldn't be a cesspool of degeneracy and lefty politics if they had sticked to games. We should also minimize parasocial relationships
Edit: I disagree with both of you. The service they provide is softcore porn
that's literally my position. God the reading comprehension of this board
