The Twitch meta changes yet again.

Twitch bans turning butts and boobs into green screens
The Twitch meta changes yet again.
I thought "where the hell does Twitch keep coming up with these absurd sex-related things to ban?" and it turns out it's just this one lady and inventing them is her shtick and she's single-handedly keeping like five journalists employed.
Morgpie is stimulating ... the economy.
The fact that this is not her first time border-lining the policy, at some point they are just going to drop the hammer (again). They are hesitant on it though cause, big viewers and creators lead to big income sources, but eventually the powers that may be that are higher then twitch are going to give a nudge.
Earlier this month, she streamed herself playing Fortnite with the gameplay projected on her butt.
Amazingly inventive.
Yeah, she should be rewarded, not penalized.
Twitch should just make four sections of their service:
Normie would be the default, and anything else is opt-in.
Not going to happen anytime soon because advertisers and payment processors with the lowest fee wouldn't touch sites that contain adult contents, even if said contents are not visible by default.
I don't see how that would solve anything. That would just result in people streaming in the "normie" classification, but pushing the limits as far as they could go.
they won't do this because if they actually allow porn, they'd be banned entirely from some countries
Morality policing is dumb. If she wants to stream through her chest or butt, more power to her.
It's the advertisement companies that are far behind the times. They ruin everything they touch because they are so sensitive to Karen types.
Doesn't Twitch make most of its money through donations, and the insanely high cut Twitch takes from them?
We need people to ditch these corporate shit hole platforms. All of the technology is becoming come all the ties and so anyone can just whip one of these up on their computer and serve it to the world, the only really bureaucratic restrictions exist preventing this
Streaming video to millions of people isn't just something anyone could whip up and run. It requires an ungodly amount of infrastructure and the only reason twitch and YouTube can keep going is because Amazon and Google own millions of servers world wide
If we can't see games on boobs and butts then what are we even doing here?
Touching neither grass nor ass.
But I do have gas, so there's that.
At this point Twitch slowly but surely became OnlyFans 2.0
Twitch has always been about whoring. And I'm not just talking about girls showing cleavage or whatever. People whore for their viewers to donate, and the viewers whore for their senpais to notice them. It's just an annoying concept. inb4 "there's exceptions, especially for smaller streamers" - I know, I don't care. It's just a matter of time and growth potential for most. It's part of the commercialization and it happens even on YT now too.
Me watching Vinesauce just play games and talk about music or whatever: 💀
Yup. That's why I only watch one Twitch streamer (seems to not care about than nonsense) and a dozen or so YouTube channels (most are also decent). I've tried watching the more mainstream channels, and it's pure cancer.
I agree, the concept in general is incredibly annoying and why I am actively looking for alternatives elsewhere. I'd much prefer a model like Nebula (signup is $5/month) or Odysee (platform fees; Odysee channels set their own prices). Or maybe a pay-per-watch micropayment option through something like GNU Taler (let me watch the first 30s or so for free, then pay to continue).
But the current ad and public tip model just encourages distasteful behavior.
It seems to me like there's a big market for sexual video game streamers. A site that came along and allowed it might even dethrone twitch if done well.
Only Fans is trying to get into video. This is probably what they should be doing, not whatever that TV thing is
I think being rebellious and creative is part of the fun.
Blows my mind that MindGeek or whatever they are called now still haven't launched a YT/Twitch competitor.
Chaturbate already has streams of girls mostly talking, but Twitch is the biggest so they go there to advertise.
Video games, Twitch, and Boobs are all things teenage boys generally like, and they have a lot of free time to consume media. Im 100000% certain thats all this is all about, that that's the sole driving force behind all this. Nobody wants to say it but twitch is porn for kids

I was literally just saying this in a meeting with my boss today that since the invention of Twitch, there has just been too many boobs on the Internet.
Iike without twitch, there would be a perfect amount of boobs on the Internet, but you know those thirst streamers they force you watch before you can view any other content really just pushed the whole thing over the edge.
You know what there's too much of on the Internet these days? Squares that don't understand sarcasm and tone.
I also blame Twitch. Before there were boobies in the way of my gaming streams, people had to read into the covered up boobies all over the Internet. Now there's just boobies on display everywhere and you don't have to think about anything.
That was a work conversation with your boss??
Yes we were both jerking off onto a waffle.
"Because of twitch there are too many boobs"
LOL
Sir, this is nonsense. There can't be enough boobs on the internet.
I'm sorry they force you to watch certain streamers? I don't use twitch, wtf is that about?
I DO use Twitch and I don't know what they're talking about.
Im an avid twitch user. Please put down the pitchforks you may have from the title. This is her whole schtick (morgpie), finding creative ways around the censorship. Yes she does sex work, but she's also a great streamer in her own right and is actually playing the games on screen. She constatly holds a chat of like 4k people and streams for HOURS. You can only horny watch for so long, at a certain point people are staying because they just enjoy her personality and stories.
Like this is fucking hilarious. Subjectively ofc, but If my owlverweight man ass were to do the same thing, everyone would just be laughing at me.

It's called fostering parasocial relationships for profit and it's not something we should encourage.
Other than the boobs and butts the description fits 99% of people streaming gameplay and interacting with fans.
Thats a fair and valid point. I can see how that could lead to whale like spending behavior vying for attention.
fostering parasocial relationships for profit
that is onlyfans whole deal
I’m with you. If someone wants to watch ass Fortnite why should I care?
People will forever pearl clutch.
Yes she does sex work, but she’s also a great streamer in her own right and is actually playing the games on screen.
That's like saying the porn stars are actually acting. Nobody watches porn movies for the acting.
She constatly holds a chat of like 4k people and streams for HOURS.
Those are her "m'lady" fedora-wearing parasocial white knights, willing to give her all the monies.

No, at a certain point, they are going to her OnlyFans page to whack off for 5-10 minutes and then returning back to her stream. She does this to popularize herself for her real sex work, which pays real money.
Subjectively ofc, but If my owlverweight man ass were to do the same thing, everyone would just be laughing at me.
That's kind of the problem, and it's a big reason why male streamers are annoyed by how female streamers present themselves on Twitch. Hell, even female streamers who just want to play games are annoyed at this shit.
Keep sex work at the sex work web sites.
it would be nice to have twitch just be for streaming again without sex crap on there.
there are so many places to stream sexy content. why can't we have one that doesn't?

Maybe people just aren't that into streamers and what they actually want is the sexed up stuff with some gaming on the side.
Wait, the Morgpie?
Just let it happen at this point. I get the idea of trying to moderate the content so that it's not a bunch of thirst streams and so that there are actually people doing various activities on there, but people act like this because it gets views.
Just let people get it out of their systems. Might take a few years, but eventually there will be people looking to watch regular people playing video games, making art, playing music or just talking again.
It's not really Twitch's fault. Twitch doesn't care about sexual content, they're a company they don't have morals. They'd be more than happy to rake in those dollars. The problem are advertisers and payment processors who have very strict views/policies on stuff like this and Twitch has to kowtow to them if they want to be in business.
So many sites have this happen to them, where they allow or even encourage sexual expression and then a payment processor comes in and says "yeah if you don't cut out that we're dropping you" and then it's over.
It is kowtow fyi
I don't think this will ever die down, look at porn sites, those are still going strong to the point that blocking access to them causes political problems.
Twitch is only against this because a good portion of their user-base (and more importantly advertising companies/investors) don't want to be part of that.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
According to the update, starting March 29th, “content that focuses on intimate body parts for a prolonged period of time will not be allowed.”
The move is, without a doubt, a targeted response to the new Twitch “meta” wherein streamers project gameplay onto a green-screened part of their bodies, specifically the breasts or buttocks.
During her stream today, she wore a green screen cut-out shirt making her head and chest the only parts of her a viewer could see.
Others capitalized on the new meta by projecting gameplay on various body parts, but with today’s announcement, such activity will become a bannable offense.
In December, Twitch relaxed it’s nudity policy to allow “deliberately highlighted breasts, buttocks or pelvic region,” so long as the stream had the appropriate content label.
The company immediately rescinded the policy after streamers pushed the boundaries of it, stating, “Upon reflection, we have decided that we went too far with this change.” Then, in January, Twitch updated its guidelines again to ban implied nudity after creators, including Morgpie, streamed themselves at angles that suggested they weren’t wearing clothes.

Pro tip to all the unfairly ridiculed titty streamers out there doing God's work (as if any of you were actually on Lemmy):
You could probably skirt this by hiding your face. Then you have plausible deniability as they can't prove concretely whether it's you showing skin or topical abstract art expression.
As an added bonus, the content value also stands to potentially go up as viewer's would no longer be driven away by your over-attended attention seeking mug. That's what you do this for, right, to make content for your community?
Why wouldn't a titty streamer be on Lemmy?? Someone who makes a living online, on the most popular alternative to one of the most popular websites ever?
Can we not have anything fun, Jeez! 😭😭😭
