While I can see this being annoying to streamers, it seems like a net positive overall. I’d be interested to hear the perspective of someone who’s vehemently against this, to help me understand why.
Why would this be annoying to streamers? Honest question, I’m not a Twitch user.
Would it be the softcore porn “gamer girls” being called out separately from eg. horror games?
The article points out that the threshold to require each of the new labels is a bit nebulous, and that they’re allowing a 30 day grace period for them to test the waters and find out where the line is drawn… while the safer path is probably just to err on the side of tagging it if you’re unsure, I’m sure some advertisers wouldn’t want to be associated with some labels, so they probably would rather toe the line than step across it. (I’m not a streamer, though, so I’m just guessing.)
Twitch is basically unusable for me these days. Way too many ads.
