So can you have a censored twitch stream and an uncensored concurrent stream on your website?
Or like, follow the twitch guidelines and if you want a short segment of 18+ just put a text box like 'too hot for twitch, subscribe on our website or wait for the twitch stream to continue'
Gamer girl with a clean live stream on twitch, but watch it both on twitch and on separate website for an under the table camera POV.
I love how the replies are so offended that sex workers exist. Real progressive, folks.
People don't want a livestreaming platform to be a funnel for camwhores. There's already too much pornographic material on twitch. I don't care if you are a coomer who needs porn to live, but keep it away from normal content please.
Then don't watch pornstar streams? Seems easy enough to avoid.
If you want to watch porn, go to a porn site. Porn is not allowed on twitch, the only way these streamers survive without being banned is because they tow the line of what is explicitly sexual. Abusing a loophole basically.
Again, don't watch them if you don't like them. If they're not breaking the rules, then they have every right to be on the platform as anyone else. It's not like your favorite streamers are suddenly doing porn on the side, right?
Pornographic streams are actually against the rules on twitch. You can read them here https://safety.twitch.tv/s/article/Community-Guidelines?language=en_US
We're not talking about pornographic streams, though.
your original words.
You can pretend like they're not pornographic but its pretty undeniable these streams are sexual in nature intended to funnel people to their platforms where they can be explicitly sexual instead of skirting the rules by doing "hot tub streams" etc... I wish people wouldn't be facetious about it.
There are plenty of porn stars who stream non-porn content on Twitch. Porn stars are allowed to have more than one interest, y'know. And for the more risque/lewd content like hot tub streams, Twitch literally has a separate category on their platform specifically designed so that the more "adult" content isn't in the main feeds to begin with.
I'm not talking about porn stars who happen to stream video games. I'm talking about the explicitly sexual streams where they do suggestive things for donations. It's basically cam site lite with a direct funnel to their adult content. It's still extremely prevalent in just chatting.
Not everyone shares your views of "progress"
That’s gross dude
I didn't say it's my thing I'm just saying if it's allowed it'll happen.
I don't watch live streams at all honestly.
But can you not imagine like, someone doing standup and having a button they can push to pause the twitch stream while the 18+ joke continues on their website. Then when it's done the twitch stream unpauses?
Sounds like a win honestly
Kinda specific, talking about an undertable camera for a gamer girl, don't you think? The example was absolutely unnecessary.
Your comment was wholely unnecessary as well. This response is too.
If you think of two concurrent twitch streams of one person, one consistently twitch friendly and one consistently a twitch guidelines strike, ran and operated by the same person. And in a way that both are profitable enough to be worth the effort. What exactly is the simplest solution? Because writing this is wordy and boring as hell, when I can just say face cam ass cam. I don't have to dig it myself to know a market exists for it.
That's been happening for years anyway.
It's about one video stream on multiple platforms.
Btw: fucking disgusting
brother if that bothered you you should stay off the internet.
Not OP, and not bothered by any fanservice stuff someone sells, but that
that's the thing I can't stand.
It depends on how it's handled for me.
The YouTube channel Cold Ones will occasionally do a joke where one of them takes their ass out or something, and on YouTube it's blurred out with a big 'subscribe to our patreon' for a few seconds.
This would just be the live version of the same idea. I'd never pay for it myself, but if they allow it to exist it will. Though I'd imagine with a Livestream the dead air would be more annoying. Maybe instead cut to a POV of the camera operator's reactions to the bit with a 'SUBSCRIBE ELSEWHERE' instead, or something else more creative
Not one of their consumers, but thanks for your perspective.
If his comment bothered you you should stay off the internet
