I just checked the top 50 live streams in English by viewer count. Exactly one of the fifty (it's not even in the top half) fits your characterization.
If you don't filter by English (or anything else), it's only two in the Top 200 right now. One of them is dancing (which then seems fine to me), one is doing ASMR and her outfit today isn't even that much of a "titty streamer". And zero in hot tubs.
Didn't expect HN to fall for the incel memes like that. Also didn't think I need to give that advice here, but Twitch's frontpage and suggestions in the sidebar are personalized, so if you see those kind of streams regularly, it might be your surfing behavior.
That does not mean that Twitch doesn't have some problems in their moderation/admin team, but especially the "titty streamer / hot tub" problem isn't as big as some try to make it out to be.
I've never been on Twitch before. Decided to check it out to test your comments.
Popular live channels on top is all games, 2/6 appears to be DOTA. Next section shows popular categories. Top category is Just Chatting, followed by a bunch of games. Next section is popular Just Chatting channels and the top two both have "try on bikini" in the title.
So that is what a first impression on twitch looks like without any personalization: mostly games, with some kind of mild erotica front and center. It would be easier to ignore the erotica if it wasn't so discordant with the rest of the content...
At the moment there are 3 somewhat known hot tube-streamers on twitch, and they are brought up by the haters all the time. Which is kind if a joke, considering that there are >1 million others streamers at the same time. I'm curious how bad twitchs bubble-effect must be for people to be so limited in their experience.
I'm generally watching niche content - diablo2, starcraft, some league of legends here and there. Never shown an ounce of interest in hot tub streams or similar content. Still, that's how my recommendations look all the time over the last weeks, at least at this time of the day. Trying to nudge me to that kind of content.
Then remove them from your recommandations if you don't like them.
Twitch has no way to figure out the content of a stream, so the recommandations are mostly based on indirect data, like category and social overlapping between streamers and viewers. If you have the two top boobie-streamers in your recommendation, then usually there is a stronger connection between them and your prefered bubbles.
But on another point, you proove what I wrote. It's always the same 2-3 names which appear in those complains.
