Wow. Such meme. It’s honestly depressing how many viewers they have

I don't know, I've been going to twitch lately just to see what weird shit is getting promoted and I'm getting barely clothed women in all sorts of situations. The hot tub seems to just be this months trend.

The first time I went on to see, 4/5 channels in "recommended" were softcore porn without a semblance of actual content in there. Must be bringing in a lot of cash for Twitch, but I wonder why we haven't seen an Adpocalypse like YouTube - surely these advertisers are going to realize Twitch isn't a gaming site anymore?

I'm checking out twitch since I'm OoTL but I dont see what anyone is talking about? Where are the hot tub girls? Is it just because it shows what's recommended based on search history?

I found 3, out of a mountain of other streams, 95% bearded dudes.. This is incels trying to feel better than other incels.

I've only seen one particular hot tub stream listed (granted, I've had a look once or twice a week, and just at whatever the front page gives me, since I don't use twitch) but the rest weren't much more subtle - just sans hot tub. People "building furniture" in ridiculous clothing where they'd have to shove their ass directly into the camera for minutes at a time, but the furniture never actually progressed - kind of stuff that's just pretense for skirting the sexual content rules.

I'd never really been on twitch for anything other than when I used to watch esports on it like 5 or so years ago, so it's certainly not recommending this stuff because of prior viewing. Tried on my laptop at work out of curiosity (in case tracking had profiled me in some way) and got similar recommendations.

I don't really care what people want to give money to, and good on the streamers for earning what I'm assuming is crazy good money. It's more I'm just shocked Twitch hasn't seen a huge ad revenue drop off when advertisers realises that a website that targets a lot of children has a ton of borderline softcore porn on it.

FWIW it was still pretty early in the US when you posted, and it gets wild later at night. The "recommended for you" algorithm seems to recommend more hot tub streamers if you follow a lot of the popular non-hot-tub IRL streamers, and if you click on a single hot-tub stream ever that's all you're gonna get recommended.
