    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:

      • kids - strict policing of content
      • normie - basically what we have now
      • adult - nudity is fine, but have some limits
      • porn

      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.

          They could always just make a family of connected sites. That could be subdomains (kids.twitch.com or whatever) or separate domains, but all linked to the same creator account. So a creator would tag a stream as belonging to one of those categories, and it would be assessed and hosted on that category of host.

        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.

            That’s what we have now

            Which, I think most people agree, sucks.

            this would give them an option to target a different demographic

            They already have that option. They could stream on cam sites dedicated to adult content if they wanted to do adult content. They don’t do that because they want to reach Twitch viewers not porn viewers. But, they know they get more attention from the Twitch viewers if they’re doing nearly-porn.
