    The problem is Twitch doesn't want to become OnlyFans. OnlyFans started as a Patreon competitor but because of their generous allowances for nudity they got a lot of adult content creators on the platform and as it grew a reputation for adult content other creators no longer wanted to create content there unless it was ironic. If you say you have an OnlyFans, people are going to assume it has adult content even though to this day you can create an OnlyFans to do anything you want pretty much. Once the ball rolls over that hill there's really no getting it back. Twitch will also see a mass exodus of advertisers if this happens as well because companies that have a family-friendly reputation don't want to be seen advertising on what people consider to be an adult site, even if they're just advertising on non-adult content.

    A super simple solution for this would be to throw all adult content on a different subdomain. That makes it braindead easy for even the most novice parent to filter without blocking the rest of the site, and it can even have a separate home page for people who don't mind or want the 18+ stuff. They could also sell different ads on that subdomain. Sure, Burger King might not want to advertise there, but I'm sure Trojan or Adam & Eve would RATHER advertise on a subdomain where 100% of the audience is at least potentially interested in their products. Win-win, I'd say.

      This has to do with why a "separate site" idea wouldn't work because now your average Twitch viewer is not there anymore. Boobs streams would not have even close to the same viewers and Twitch would lose big money from it.

And I draw the line at showing pr0n to children, which is what Twitch is ending up with.
      Mark my words, Twitch is gonna get sued at some point by a parent for Twitch allowing a streamer participating in something like the topless meta appear on the home page for Twitch and the kid gets addicted to it and spends his parent's credit card or something on bits for that streamer.

    To be fair, Asmon, people CAN and up spending a lot of money on porn and become suicidal. Porn and gambling can both do that, because they cause someone to become impulsive. The same is true for most drugs. The truth is, Onlyfans models make a LOT of money, and so do casinos. There is a correlation there. I think it's more common with gambling, but the fact that it's less common doesn't remove the potential for danger.
    At least when you go to a casino you don't have a person emotionally manipulating you, and there is a chance you get some money back. A reasonable person goes to a casino with a budget in mind and stops when they lose that much. Unfortunately, many people are unreasonable. Unreasonable people are more likely to become suicidal.

      Full agreement on trying to help people with addiction. The differences in types of addiction are in collateral damage - does it destroy only your life or also everything else around you. When you have a porn addiction you will most likely only end up with severe exhaustion and a sore dick (as in you're only ruining yourself physically). When it's a gambling/substance addiction you you will lose your and your family's means of survival. I get what you're saying and I agree, but some addictions are more destructive than others and lumping them all together as if they're the same thing is muddying the water.

      @@rexila Because there's a huge push right now (even outside of the USA) where governments are trying to ban or restrict pornographic content with how easily accessible it is for minors. Twitch cannot operate as a website if that governing body decides that it has too much content on its domain that is inappropriate for underaged users. Twitch has a plethora of family-friendly content creators and so a measly button that asks for the user's consent before they can watch some nude "content creator" is useless.

      I feel as if the concept of "categories" is in and of itself the crux of the problem. Trying to shoehorn everything art into an "Art" category or everything chatting into a "Just Chatting" category is going to cause a lot of friction amongst creators and viewers that have different expectations.
      This is why I really like the approach of Reddit, where users can create and manage their own communities, each having a set of published rules (based on the ToS) and a team of appointed moderators (whom are trusted) as well as community-wide content designations. In this way, it would be possible for Twitch, to cater to a wide variety of niche interests, while still affording sufficient safeguards so that 18+ streams can co-exist on the platform.
      Rather than lumping creators into overly-broad categories, the community would finally be able to curate and classify the types of content in far more meaningful ways, thereby empowering both creators and viewers alike.

    People, including Asmon, saying "just don't watch it, this is unnecessary censorship" are missing the point. The issue isn't that nsfw stuff exists on the website. The issue is that the site, with the previous artistic nudity policy, pushes actual pornography to children and pollutes the non-nsfw spaces with nsfw content. You could not enter the Just Chatting or Art tags on Twitch without a slew of topless women and full frontal nudity and pornographic drawings flooding the top of the suggested.
    If there were a dedicated site for sexual content or an 18+ section of the website then it's whatever, those things would have decent filtering for people who are looking for that stuff. The problem is that most on the viewer base of twitch are minors and you don't need an adult account to view the explicit material. That is profitting off of giving children access to porn and that is scummy and predatory. And yeah, I think there's a place for nudity. Art studies or nude artistic expression is valid and is more situational. Even in non-artistic circles, Twitch is really uptight about certain creators with any hint of sexuality in their themes. Just look at the multiple times Vtubers were banned for having chest physics on their models or emotes getting restricted because they were "risque". There are lines that get crossed. However, women with their nipples just out of frame and bouncing for bits from 14 year olds or a draw-along stream of a massive humanoid dog penis are not that, i'm sorry lol.
    Edited addition: Like kids are going to find that stuff if they want to find it. I was a kid on the internet and I faked being 18 to see certain stuff. But it should be kept on adult websites with at least the bare minimum of age gating. On Twitch you could see that stuff without an account even. Even UA-cam makes you sign in to see 18+ content to prove you're an adult because there's an expectation that UA-cam is not a porn site, just like Twitch isn't a porn site. It's easily bypassed but at least its enough to pretend to care about maintaining a consistent and healthy atmosphere in the community. The second the sexual stuff was okayed, a ton of smaller artists and streamers jumped ship because they didn't want to be associated with sexual content. Even fucking Twitter does this better by giving you an option to block sexual content from your feed. Whether you liked it or not with Twitch, it was always put to the top and was in your face.
    "Kids will look at porn so let's cut out the middle man and give it to them directly" is such a bad take in my opinion and conflating genuine concern over what is being snuck into an app for predatory business reasons with people "just wanting to get women out of the gaming space" is kind of shitty. It devalues when people are actually using this policy to attack women and it's such a surface-level call to progressive talking points that it almost feels like parody. Same with the "parents should parent" thing. Like yeah, they should, but two things: 1, not everyone has parents so that assumption is a bit dismissive, and 2, it's not like they're on the Hub. Parents still know Twitch as the "Ninja Channel". It'd be like if they were streaming porn on the Disney Channel, there's an expectation from parents from years of it not being a porn site that they feel comfy trusting their kids, so when the company makes silent changes like this announcing it on a website parents probably don't use, that's exploitation. And overall, making this a conservative vs liberal thing is just reductive and stupid; relying on being anti-conservative rather than calling this spade a spade.
    I like you Asmon, but this one was just not it lol. The only solution i can see is filter out nsfw from minors and guest accounts, make a new site dedicated to porn with the "Are you 18" question, or just make a new macro category of 18+ that only 18+ accounts can access.

    Kids growing getting used to spend 1euro in a combinated bet (you put the results of 3, 4, 5... matches or whatever you want and you can get 30, 50, 60 or more if the odds are against). SO they "only" bet 1 euro but it becomes something they get used to and that they do regularly, then when they are 18 they keep doing it and when they get a job they start betting more.
    You also get this slots mecanic in a lot of games (cases, football cards in fifa....). The worst part is that these kind of betting places are growing like mushrooms in the poorer areas, so people with no money to spare are getting more addicted.

    I can't agree with the correlation he makes about people liking "anime girls of questionable age" (lolishit) and Pedos. I'm sorry but that is a statement whose basis and logic is straight out of the ass. This statement is just as stupid as saying that video games cause violence and school shootings.
    There are no studies or data to support this opinion. There is only data and studies that show that there is no correlation between the two.
    In fact, if you drink alcohol, you have a much greater chance than any weeb of attacking a child, there is a high association between drinking, alcoholism, and child molestation. Forty-nine percent of the child molesters were drinking at the time of commission of the offense.
    BUT! Despite everything I said, it seems right to ban this type of "anime girls of questionable age" content from the platform, mainly when it is combined with the "AI" factor, which can generate very realistic "anime girls of questionable age" , to the point of seeming real (I hope I don't have to explain why that is a problem), plus this would make it easier for some things to slip into the matter (i.e. CSAM being passed through a filter to pass it off as AI). Which would perpetuate the abuse of real children, causing real harm.
    Conclusion, I think it was the right decision by Twitch, but it should expand a little more. It's ridiculous that they go out of their way to censor cartoons and let real people do what they want. Ban them too.

Porn addictions foster a lot of bad mental issues like chronic depression, social anxiety, and there's a causal link between porn addiction and acts of sexual violence. Both are terrible and puts people in danger, both the addict and the people around them, it just manifests in different ways. Also porn addiction has been growing in comminality and severity with the current internet space, mainly thanks to onlyfans and tiktok making the rounds, so the rarity of both gambling and porn addictions may be closer than we think. (Funny enough the increase in porn addiction in the US coincided with the Alpha Male boom where women are objectified and sexual violence is seen as justified in the man-o-sphere, just something to think about)

For instance you don't see this massive rise in China, Russia, or Canada for that matter. Various European states have various statistics and studies. Everyone is depressed these days whether they have ever seen porn or not so that in no way is a believable factor for causation. Women have always been objectified or suppressed in many ways to always keep men on top.

Parents who actually monitor their children will block sites like the Hub but if their kid can just bypass that by going to Twitch how is that not problematic? Twitch is not that type of platform and I’m tired of people trying to argue it is or should be. Asmon c’mon man, do you need to go to horny jail?

      And he completely left out the fact that an underage girl or boy can start their only fans base early since 13+ is the age required to stream and apparently as long as there is no nudity in the strip tease it's just perfectly fine. Absolutely disgusting.

    Porn addiction is worse than video game addiction.
    Porn addiction leads to false expectations and masturbation addiction which trains the brain in a way that leads to lower chances of finding a significant other (since that need for release is already fulfilled).
    That being said, gambling is still worse because it poses more immediate issues.

    I like some of Asmon's takes, but not all them, one weird one I heard recently from him was when he pulled up a chatter about fictional cartoons he said - "Which category is more likely to be a pedo? Anime Enjoyers who don't like loli content, or Anime Enjoyers, who do like loli content"? and I was just thinking to myself what is this argument I could just as easily say something stupid like - "Which category of people are more likely to go shoot up a place? Gamers who enjoy games without guns, or Gamers who enjoy games with guns."?
    He says he's for people to enjoy things even if he doesn't like them because, he's smart enough to see that if you start enforcing things on people they will start enforcing things back, but then he will go, and say something that completely contradicts that.

      same, but I know it doesn't matter whose company it is, what matters is who's streaming. instead of changing the system, you gotta change the people... or else it leads to Tyrany.

    I can recommend the Unwanted Twitch Chrome extension. You can click on games, categories or tags you don't want to see anymore. Would probably work if your child doesn't know how to unhide it and turn it back on (as far as I can tell it doesn't have a parental control function yet).

    I live in the UK and every other advert (especially during sporting events is for gambling apps) problem here is that it’s a cultural thing, when you grow up here there’s a bookies on every high street, and so much of life in a sporting sense revolves around it. It was one thing I was always kinda impressed by America with, but now they have opened it up they are falling faster and harder than we did it seems

    Asmon saying it's intellectually dishonest, meanwhile there's good reasons to separate porn sites from normal content. What if you want to watch at work or school and these streams come up? Also it's disgusting and undermines mostly female creators who choose to respect themselves.
    I usually agree with Asmon but he's the intellectually dishonest one here.
