I’m kinda surprised there’s no NSFW version of Twitch tbh, I’d imagine it would be the easiest pile of money if they could capitalize on how much porn these Twitch gals are doing as a separate brand or something.

EDIT: Should clarify, I meant an Amazon-owned NSFW Twitch using Twitch branding. I know cam sites exist and also got lucky on Omegle a few times.

Cam girl sites have been around for decades now..

But then the streamers would have to compete with thousands of other actual sex workers. Making it harder to stand out.

Exactly. The twitch thot meta is entirely successful because they don't have to compete with people posting actual porn, and that they aren't posting on a porn site such that it's less likely to be restricted, and gets full publicity

Twitch is Amazon. They should just buy Chaturbate

Imagine the sign-in page:

⬛ Create an account

✅ Fuck it, use my Twitch account

[–] MomoTimeToDie 7 points 1 year ago

Fuck yeah I'm using my twitch account. Because you know that there are going to be drops-enabled streams

Token discounts and drops with prime membership

I think it has to do with the fact that some investors, payment providers and banks refuse to associate with anything that could be seen as sex work. That was why even OnlyFans was about to ban sexually explicit content 2 years ago.

Isn’t that just kinda cam sites though?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, the clearest way would be to launch a separate “Twitch 18+” or smg, offer integration of accounts for users and content creators, and go ahead. But they don’t actually want to do that, they want to blur the line, capitalize on the thirst of the audiance, without fully committing to the idea for PR reasons.
