It hasn’t been strictly gaming for many years,

What is interesting is if you don’t click on or watch those streams Twitch doesn’t recommend them to you.

A lot of the complaining is often just an unaware self report which is kinda funny.

No, they’ll definitely still show on the front page if under Just Chatting, even if you log out, open a private window, or use a different computer altogether. It’s basically random, as far as I can tell, or just showing popular streams (or both).

Sure, but you should be aware that logging out, using a private window, or a different computer are all sure fire ways to ensure it acts as close to randomly or popular as possible.

The 18+ streams shouldn’t be freely advertised until the user has identified themselves as 18+ at any rate.

See people said this about tiktok too and while for the most part it’s true they’ll still push it in your face every now and then.

I’ve blocked or clicked “not interested” on every clearly sexualized video yet they keep showing up.

They recommend what’s popular. The biggest issue is there’s enough simps with endless money watching these streamers/content creators that they’re not going away anytime soon

I don’t use tiktok and haven’t ever so I’ll have to take your word on that.

I suspect ignoring content is way more influential to the algorithm. But at the same time I spend relatively little to no time just browsing streamer channels.

It really seems like seeing something sexy every now and then isn’t really pushing it into faces. But if anything I do not think Twitch is readily prepared or equipped to adequately sequester their 18+ content given the absolute reliance on users and streamers to self report their content and access to it.
