Twitch has had control of this market for so long that it doesn't matter at this point. Not that it won't in the future, but Mixer isn't big enough to threaten it right now and they have their own issues.

Even with something like this, although it calls attention to the problem, you have someone like Cohh who responded to the tweet but will continue to stream on the platform. There's no reason for him to act out too much as it pays the bills. Of course, it may become a topic on Dropped Frames, but I doubt much more than that will be done by him.

If Mixer can buy out some more streamers, and start to pressure Twitch more, you might see some change. Ninja was a big pull for Twitch, but he's been slowly losing views to other streamers and would not likely reach that 120k subscriber high again.

Mixers TOS is hilarious, particularly the clothing section.

Honestly if mixer bought out shroud, choco, summit, etc they'd start putting more pressure on - but with the whole amazon prime free $$$ right now subsidising twitch it's hard to see anyone else really breaking out unless they somehow match that free incentive.

[Tokitoki]

Yeah I heard that Mixer's TOS is a joke, people constantly break TOS, plus they have a huge botting problem for currencies of some kind and the streamers are exploiting it too by just keeping stream on when they're not actually streaming.

Sounds like a shitshow.

[Corrderio]

Their TOS does seem to be a bit vague, but I'll give them props for the clothing rule.

[Kaslo]

At least Mixer's rules lay out what to wear whereas twitch is just "lol good luck"

[archibaldcrane]

why do people care what streamers wear? is this just concern for children coming across porn...on the internet?

[Tokitoki]

Cause those sluts only make money off thirsty guys. They aren't real gamers. They shouldn't be on a streaming platform. /s

and what's wrong with that? It's easy enough not to watch if it's not what you're into and just watch a streamer you enjoy instead.

Twitch doesn't need to protect thirsty cucks' wallets, lol

[Tokitoki]

I don't actually care.

That's the argument that people make.

Twitch themselves care - if you have naked people on streams their big brand advertisers will fuck off, so they have to set a limit somewhere.
Most of the mocking it is the hypocritical nature of some of the twitch staff who accept nudes/private cam shows from some of these girls in return for protection from the usual standards. ( one in particular member of staff ).

Plenty of them have

1. patreons with "nude" reward tiers
2. private paid snapchats
3. private adult site portal sections.

Basically - no one really gives a fuck, except advertisers scared of scandal - and people mocking twitch for their compromised/hypocritical position on it all.

I guess parents should care - it's sort of soft porn that bypasses a lot of filters.

Mixer isn't any better - mentioning streamers by name in your own channels chat constitutes harassment under their TOS if they take offence in anyway, and calling someone a camgirl is also bannable on mixer - even if they have nude tiers on patreon/snap and on adult portals w/ porn videos.

One day YouTube or Twitch is just gonna figure it out and host family friendly safe stuff on one section and adults only nudity and sex stuff on another paywall section.

wonder how many people are just waiting for porn hub to do their own streaming section.

We already have chaturbate and myfreecams.

The kid that won $3 million in the Fortnite tournament last week got swatted yesterday during a livestream on Twitch. Luckily nobody was hurt and one of the police recognized him as the tourney winner that made headlines. His team won the game in his absence.

Cpl. Albert Werner of the Upper Pottsgrove Township Police told ESPN that the department received a call from a person acting as Giersdorf. The caller told police he had killed his father, shooting him multiple times, and tied up his mother in the garage.

Police headed to the Giersdorf home and surrounded it. Werner said it's procedure to then call into the home. When police called, Giersdorf's father answered the phone, then came out the front door.

Werner said the entire incident only lasted about a half hour but involved lots of resources. He added that police believe the call came from Europe.

One girl I watch on Twitch caught an indefinite ban that lasted two weeks because she set up a bot for when people asked her age and it would say she was twelve years old. Now obviously that was a joke and she was an affiliate so Twitch knew how old she actually is, but someone reported her and within two hours she was banned and it took two weeks for her to get reinstated. Meanwhile the ban caused all her subs to be canceled so in the meantime she hopped to mixer and begged everyone to follow her there. Things must have gotten really bad because she ended up making a fansonly account and posting bikini pics. That last part probably shouldn’t have made me laugh but it did.

Some people just want to the watch world burn for real. Hasn't even been 6 months since that guy went to prison for swatting someone and getting someone unrelated killed.

YouTube is being sued for discrimination by a group of LBGT content creators.

The legal action makes a wide range of claims, including that YouTube:

• removes advertising from videos featuring "trigger words" such as "gay" or "lesbian"
• often labels LGBT-themed videos as "sensitive" or "mature" and restricts them from appearing in search results or recommendations
• does not do enough to filter harassment and hate speech in the comments section

It was filed by a group of video-makers from the US, including:

• singer Bria Kam and actor Chrissy Chambers, who run a joint YouTube channel with more than 850,000 subscribers
• Amp Somers, who produces sex education videos
• Chase Ross, who documents his experiences as a transgender man
• Lindsay Amer, who produces LGBT-themed educational videos

The legal action also claims Google refused to let the creators of a show called GNews! advertise their program, because it contained "shocking" content.

In a phone call heard by BBC News, one Google ad representative told the program's producers that "sexuality content about the gays" broke its advertising rules.

If the case goes to trial, YouTube will be forced to reveal how it's algorithm works to identify how to handle content.

Wait... what?
