As we saw in the two days the former policy was in place, there are/were not.

Also, Twitch is meant to be a gaming-centric streaming platform, not OnlyFans 2.0. There are a million other sites on the internet to find porn, let Twitch be what it's supposed to be.

Thank you! I feel like the plot was getting lost here debating the morality of nudity while ignoring that the site is a gaming streaming service.

Nudity/porn doesn’t bother me at all but the moment twitch becomes widely associated with it is the beginning of the end. Parents will think twice about allowing kids into the service, brand equity suffers, other services start up that allow for safer spaces and eventually, as you said, twitch risks being considered OF 2.0.

Did you ever watch JustinTV?

good ol' justin tv lol.. i was one of the first few streamers on it.. i know that sounds hipster and all, but i miss those days.. i got in trouble for streaming family guy and games that didn't get released yet 😂
