Do you remember when Twitch banned gambling? Now they allow nudity!

Obviously the whole "we want to make this site safe for families" is just an excuse and a lie. I think they were just afraid of getting into legal trouble and had to cover their tracks. Something obviously happened or some regulations changed for them to become so spooked.

And to be honest, that is completely understandable. If I was the CEO of some streaming site, I would cut out anything which would make me legally liable.

Gambling streams have a lot of bad actors like scammers, underage children and bad financial advisers.

But there are other streaming sites that do not ban gambling, so it is really anybodies guess as to what is happening. It may have been an arbitrary decision by the owners and nothing more.

Better safe than sorry kind of mindset,eh?

It would really be just that normal for an owner to be thinking up this way and its true that whenever you are getting involved on things or business that have those big amount ins and outs then
sooner or later there might be some issues that might be thrown off and this is something where these owners would really be thinking. Therefore, on the time that they do saw those kind of
probability then this is the time that they would be banning or removing it out. Speaking about being an alibi for it to be a family friendly then with the current issues or topic
that we do have now then it do really proves out that it was really just indeed an alibi. 

Banning Gambling but allowing Nudity? Totally that opposite.. Checking out above on written or mentioned above that it was revoked or
cancel it out. Seems like that there's tons who do make out such complaint.

Very easy, sex is very profitable.  Companies tend to look the other way when something becomes highly profitable for them.  Engagement on gambling probably didn't net them more views whereas nudity will.  Not that I agree with it but that's how capitalism usually works.  As long as there is money in it, it will be allowed

Here we can see the double standards of Twitch's developers. Gambling was condemned as something outrageous, but nudity is fine as family friendly content...

Why do you think gambling has been being treated in a different manner by Twitch?

For me, I think the ban of Gambling activities which took effect last year was an indirect fight on Crypto by the U.S government,, and not just Twitch alone, because how will a platform which prohibited live-streaming of Gambling activities/sites which used Crypto for gambling, simply because it was said to protect it's users from harm, now accept/allow live-streaming of nudity, if only it's purpose was not to eradicate streamers promoting Bitcoin to a larger community. Because though those sites may not have been said to to be licensed by the U.S government as shown below, by why not regulate it instead of banning, if it's aim was not to exclude Crypto?

Twitch said it is planning to ban the streaming of certain crypto gambling websites in an effort to protect users from potential harm.The ban will prohibit streaming of sites including slots, roulette and dice websites that aren't licensed in the U.S. or "other jurisdictions that provide sufficient consumer protection". It said the ban takes effect Oct. 18th, 2022.

This will be a cash cow for this platform. That's a profitable move from them.
But it means, this medium needs parental guidance already, if not yet enforced.
That's business, so as long as the site is paying their dues, I believe authorities are looking the other way.
Or there are no complaints yet from the public, they will exhaust this business to get as much as they can here.

Twitch revamps rules on sexual content

I say it's just weird, they banned gambling because of "potential harm" it may cause, then allowed nudity for what? For more pleasure in the eye? I guess both of this can harm someone's self and other person when excessive thing  is done. Well, it's true having nudity content means more viewers lol.

[FinneysTrueVision]

Twitch girls who use sexuality to attract viewers are always looking to push the boundaries of what is permissible. It's not just a problem for Twitch but every social media platform has people who misuse the platform in order to drive traffic to their Onlyfans. It's an awful trend that ruins these websites for some people. When platforms try to put some limits and eventually someone gets suspended there will be cries of censorship and sexism. It's a difficult position for them to be in because these controversial streamers generate revenue so banning them entirely might not be in their best interest.

Seems like one if the reason why they allow this artistic nudity content is to get some viewers and user, which is they can also get it if they didn't banned gambling discussions in their sites, I don't have any idea about their basis why this nudity is allowed but maybe majority has been requested for It or maybe they are really a fan of Artistic representation.

They got quite a bit of pushback from that decision and it was ridiculous, but I can understand why they did it.  Amazon has been paying for Twitch to lose money forever now.  Even the streamers wouldn't make any money if it weren't for Amazon's free subscription monthly with their customers prime accounts.  They now seem to be grasping at straws looking for profitability, which they may never find.  Microsoft may have been smart to ditch Mixer and let Amazon (and now Stake with their Kick investment) carry the industry by dumping money at unprofitable services until the industry can become more established.

Well, these things actually don't Surprise me, it's obvious that on Twitch they want to do whatever it takes to get their income back, it's not a Lie that they are noLonger like they were Before , the fact of having eliminated the option that you can Allow it of the games , casinos and all this, well, something that the sinvgresos are not the ones Alleged , perhaps with this nudity and getting into the side that is art and all that, well it is basically to have more Clients and so that the platform does not die, it sounds harsh as this is , but when a Platform like this stops receiving the income that they unfortunately had, it is something to worry about , because we are People who sometimes eat , with the eyes and what we see we want, So since these things are what we might like , who doesn't like to see women who show a little more than normal ? to many , on the basis that in the World the best Advertising and that gives the most favorable Results is what is sold as Sex.

This at the time of agreeing to sexualize the platforms is because they are really desperate for them to want to have this type of access to the media, there are many platforms that compete with this, like Only Fans, so these things are not so bad because they see Think about it from the point of view of the Quality of the competitor they have, because some Weights won't last long if it will catch their Attention, but on a personal level these Types of things may cause curiosity but this is already very easy. so that they can have the maximum Audience again, the maximum Community, because things are very unreal like this, this drama I believe that not even putting the casinos back would they have confidence in them again, it is something Almost Impossible , because nothing like that is done, You have to be very Emphatic to do Things well and this Platform may have some gluins that they missed and that is that given the way they did it , it Seemed good, now they don't have a way to bring in more People.

We're stuck in a land of softcore limbo. Twitch, in its quest to be squeaky clean, seems to have traded diversity for blandness. The thinking viewers, tired of the milk-toast content, have skedaddled elsewhere, leaving Twitch feeling like a one-trick pony with a broken saddle.

It's like a missed touchdown, a dropped mic, a faceplant in the face of potential. Twitch had the chance to be a platform that championed both creativity and responsibility, but they opted for the safe route, the crowd-pleaser, the "no thinking required" approach. Now they're left with a bunch of alienated viewers and a platform that feels more like a lukewarm bath than a hot tub of innovation.

So, the question is, can Twitch redeem itself? Can they find the sweet spot between content control and artistic freedom? Can they build a platform that caters to a wider range of interests without sacrificing viewer safety? These are the burning questions that need answers if Twitch wants to get back in the game, reclaim its crown as a truly impactful force in the online entertainment arena. It's time to ditch the clown shoes, pick up the juggling pins with some nuance, and show the world they can handle the heat, not just the lukewarm.

[Cryptomultiplier]

It's the mindset of the owners of Twitch to make money anyhow possible but to gain fans and users more is the end to this mindset because without the users, the concept and design would be flawed in total.

I don't know the reason for them banning gambling on their site, but allowing the site to accept nudity and even view it without as much as age restrictions is a minus and they must have a good reason which could be they probably can't manage a gambling platform on their site.
