I've never used Twitch and never tried to keep up to date with anything related, but news about it are hard to miss nowadays. And from just my barely surface level exposure to it, it's so weird. It seems like they completely switch every few months or weeks from "we will allow nudity and even take steps to make it a thing on our platform" to "absolutely no nudity and everyone that tries till get banned".
What the fuck is going on?
It's hard because they want the cut they get of horny donations but they don't want to be a sex site.
My theory is that they're trying to find the perfect mix of horny gamers shelling out for bits and subs while staying just within the bounds of what advertisers will allow.
