Why is this infuriating?
The complaint I've heard is that Twitch suspends and penalizes streamers for minor violations of their ToS all the time but leave the quasi-porn channels alone because they rake in the views.
This is a bit tangential, but I came across a religious woman on Reddit a while back that regularly uploaded videos to YouTube which consisted of her reading from the Bible and giving her own lectures on Christianity and godly morals while wiggling her toes in the camera. She had a decent following of people pretending that they loved her spirituality while "ignoring" the inherently fetishizing sexual nature.
Her channel was completely devoid of any age restrictions or content warning.
It's a smart angle to be honest.
Sure, Twitch's imbalanced application of ToS is ridiculous, but these streamers don't infuriate me for showing skin.
