I think Twitch/Amazon should just make a second site/URL that uses the same login.
Twitch, and Twitch-After-Dark.
If your account is flagged for adult content you could even have a toggle to switch between the two versions of the site. Or *opt-in* to merge them.
One site for PG-13 content, the other for whatever they want to set the sexual limitation to.
This limits the barrier of entry for users, as they only need one login, but separates the content into two distinct areas, only merging them when users manually opt-in. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
You got so many downvotes; is there really another description? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
A bit of both happens, the front page slot streamers usually get when talking to a twitch rep is on the carousel at the top of the home page but there are also people that get into that at random times during their stream, I'm sure they have some complex algorithm picking people automatically. And there is also the rest of the front page which includes again randomly cycled in and out channels as well as recommendations based on what you're watching. Streamers can appear in that too without any agreement with a twitch rep. Only streams with content marked as sexual themes, gambling, drug use etc can't appear on the home page. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

Chaturbate ran out of business and died, as will other competitors | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
If you used the internet in the late 90s and early 2000’s you'd remember every website with video content had to have a dozen mirror links for every video, half of which wouldn't even work because they'd exceed their bandwidth limit and those that did work were slow.
And you didn't stream the video, you downloaded it and then had to have whatever random codec required to play the file (DivX, RealPlayer, QuickTime, etc).
People back then would have happily paid for a reliable video hosting service that would not only store the video but also process it and allow to stream in a web browser.
The only reason YouTube exists is because of a metric fuck tonne of VC that kept it alive for over a decade before it could finally turn a profit (I'm not even convinced it does make profit even now...)
Plenty of people pay for web hosting, why wouldn't they pay for video hosting? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

How long has twitch existed? I truly do not know. But in my mind the times you refer back to (which I remember) pre-dated twitch by FAR. Sure enough that the site likely existed in some form long before it became more commonly known but so far as I remember Youtube and even alternative video hosting platforms were well established once Twitch found its footing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

I would never blame the sex worker in these situations, blame the john. There are thristy people using twitch to get off paying these people, go after them not the ones giving them what they clearly want. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
do they even realize that all the women on these sites are being propped up by hundreds of thirsty simps? So their behavior is indicative of a larger collective demand from these thirsty simps?
Or even that simply the women on the sites are like a tiny tiny fraction of actual women, most of whom wouldn't consider doing any form of sex work to begin with? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Then again, getting paid 5 digits for a couple of matings means that their relative 'per hour' cost is kind of high, for probably limited effectiveness. Twitch would still need to do something with their advice, and somehow I doubt they did.
Reasons enough to indeed just remove remove a underused cost. It's not like it was a full time position for those high placed people, I doubt they are inconvenienced by it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

It’s called freedom, you commie | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
The problem is that there is significant practical truth in those misogynistic influencer’s platforms and the current state of education in the topic completely ignores it. When you’re a teenager trying to get laid and you see reality played out in front of you different from what you’ve been taught…well, it didn’t work out well for the war in drugs either did it?
You’re not going to reach him by ignoring the effectiveness of this bullshit in getting you laid or that the average person treats you better when you treat them worse and demand more of them. This translates directly into desperately men and women doing whatever is necessary to get attention from the opposite sex, Abe there are one hell of a lot of girls and women out there with daddy issues who will do absolutely anything for a little male attention and be damned happy about it.
Our current teachings on sex and instinct are less instructive than examples of how the grownups have no idea how to handle sexuality either.
Don’t blame him for seeing something true and following it, instead find the truth in IT and show him why it’s not in HIS best interests to pursue things that way. For that to work you have to show him something that isn’t a lie to replace it, and pretending women don’t, on average, prefer strong/fit/aggressive men for sex is a lie. That men and women both continue to propagate that lie is for their personal utility in their lives, not as a matter of fact, and teaching it loses you all your credibility.
Men and Women relate in many more levels than sex but you can’t ignore that it starts with that instinct, especially with teenagers, or you’ve lost before you’ve begun. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

I envy you. I almost always get a giant naked ass in the "recommended" section of my "followed channel" page. Maybe they changed their policy on to what to recommend though. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
I would argue it's the same thing as that gaming channel to right wing reactionary pipeline, or making questionable garbage for YouTube kids.
There's always grifts in the world with plenty of scumbags or impressionable people to make demand, but it is removing self responsibility by saying you HAVE to go down that path because there is more demand there.
I get what you're saying though. I do think it's also on twitch to actually promote gaming content better with their Algo rather than when you click on a girl streamer you get like 4 or 5 days of lewd streamer recommendations because of the userbase suggestions. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
> afaik the streams are clearly marked 18+
Incorrect, I can see this on the front page of twitch right now and you only get age-gated for trying to click through to the actual livestream.
Stream name includes "I want a boyfriend", she's in her mid 30s lmao. No age gate when I clicked her. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Normally I would never advocate hitting a child but... slap him whenever he says something misogynistic. Slap his little Tate-head friends too. Eventually a woman is going to slap him for his behavior too so you're really just hurrying this along.
In all seriousness, though, that really sucks dude. If Tate were around when I was your brothers age, he absolutely would have had me as a fan because I was a stupid kid with a poor male role model that probably wouldn't have had much of a problem with Tate either. I hope you can reach him. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Yep, now every thread with actual discussion is locked and mods hand out permanent bans if they disagree with you about touchy subjects.

the big problem for twitch is that even with strict rules around it, a ton of companies will remove their ads on the site and they will likely lose purchase processing with most non-credit card options.

Oh I definitely agree that it’s annoying, but just seems like a natural continuation of what we’ve seen in recent years.
Advertising used to be limited to wealthy companies and agencies until social media gave every Joe Schmo the same reach to find their audience. Makes sense that that would extend to sex work too.
In a way I’d actually kind of rather someone in that industry to market themselves versus having a company above them. Feels less exploitative. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
I watch Twitch frequently and my home page recommendations are either associated with the type of content I already follow or are Lets Chatting/RL streams that are a heavy mix of male and female creators with a ton of watchers.
Hell, when Twitch did their big "metric reveals"/Top 100 it's not like the platform rankings were dominated by women at all, let alone "lewd streamers". Amoranth(sp?) was one of the only women in the top 100 at all. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

No one is entitled to become a streamer for free. If you can afford a gaming PC, a mic, a webcam, RGB lights and a fucking "gaming chair", I'm sure a subscription fee isn't a big ask.
Anyone that cares enough to dedicate the time to becoming a full time streamer will make it work.
Some people get paid to play piano. 99% of piano players pay for lessons and the professionals paid for lessons when they first got started.
Some people get paid to play sports. The vast majority pay club fees.
Why should being a streamer be any different? 99.999% of streamers have no hope of ever making an income from streaming.
This idea that platforms should be free because we'll "miss out" on the next Ninja seems absurd. Yes big streamers make Twitch money. But it's offset by the hundreds that don't and Twitch is hardly the rapidly growing platform it once was.
Streamers paying instead of the consumers would make the platform better and also potentially profitable...
At the end of the day pretty much every streaming service relies on VC funding or their parent company to not immediately go bankrupt. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

You have the causality a little skewed. "Thousands of men" can't watch something *that doesn't exist*, therefore the first step is *necessarily* that made by the creators. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

> I don't understand why people hate on the women doing this kind of stuff instead of the thousands of men who watch and support it en masse and create a huge demand? Why don't you tell your brother that men who watch this content should logically be just as much 'whores' as the women who create it?
You're being disingenuous, I'm not hating on them for doing it, I'm hating on them for doing it on sites explicitly targeted to kids like twitch and tiktok. There is a difference, don't pretend there isn't. They could do this on the hundreds of places made for this content, but no, they do it where their audience is mostly underage. That's on purpose.
I notice you jump to the "men" watching the content, when I explicitly said my problem was with my little brother and his friends watching that content. Content like that is akin to a casino, or a drug dealer. If you're an adult, sure, do what you want idc. But stay away from the kids.
> And why do people become myoginists when they see many women do porn
The problem isn't the porn, it's the Tate rhetoric they've heard that ties the porn to the inherent nature of women.

At what point do you give these women agency? I have no beef with female streamers on twitch who don't sexualise themselves, and I have no beef with titty streamers who sexualise themselves on places where that's appropriate, like all the cam sites that are available.
I have beef with the streamers that blur the line between those two categories. They actively choose to go on a kids' site. You euphemistically call them "the audience" trying to obfuscate that on a kids site, that audience will be 90% kids. These women are choosing to sell sex to children.
I do think Twitch should be trying harder to boot these women off, but even when they do put even the slightest bit of regulation on them, they purposefully stretch the rules to their limit to get back on the front page, titties out. This has persisted through several rule changes, you can't argue they don't know what they're doing.
You're right about the gambling thing, but i expect a soulless corporation to exploit kids (yes I have a problem with that too, since you'll try misdirect). When individual streamers are doing the same thing, I can and will blame them too.
And I'm kinda shocked you frame me being worried on my 13 yr old brothers behalf as "moral outrage". My brother doesn't have a gambling problem, he has a problem exacerbated by all the things I'm complaining about. Maybe you'd understand if you had siblings idk but people tend to care about them | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

Honestly this sounds more like a CRA(background screening company) got hacked than a govt agency. I believe this is 70 million searches returning information from DOB, SSN, Motor Vehicle Reports, County level searches, Verification checks, Etc… 70 million in 4 years is WAY too many people. Like they are basically saying 1 in 4 Americas broke the law in some way in the last 4 years. I don’t believe it.
I think it is more like anyone that got a new job in the last 4 years and had a background screen done by whatever CRA is involved is the suspect. Which would reduce the count down to about 13.5 million people. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Correction 70 million criminals got their info leaked. Or do we all suddenly give a fuck about them now? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
That certainly should not be true. First off if a company cares about your background that much they’d run a background check on you. Second the FCRA has very strict reporting guidelines, if someone is let go because of something they did in their past without being approved/filtered by a CRA that company is putting them selves in a huge liability. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

I don’t believe it was 70 million people. That is way too large of a number. I would guess a CRA got hacked which is a background screening company. That 70 million is the total amount of records they had returned on all of the people they screened over 4 years which would put the actual quantity of people at 13.5 million.

If it comes in the car from the manufacturer and they collect the data and sell it .. it's on the manufacturer who sold the card to the buyer.
