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.

Currently when I visit twitch of the 4 streams they recommend me (https://www.twitch.tv/directory/following) they show:

- some sleeping stream "HE WOKE UP widepeepoHappy !SUBATHON !GIFTCAP DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE :)"

- hot tub stream 1 "HOT TUB BIKINI TRY ONSUBATHONSHAMELESS!IG: amouranth!socials"

- league of legends tournament "GEN vs T1ㅣ2021 LCK Spring PLAYOFFS Round 2"

- hot tub stream 2 "CUTEST HOT TUB GIRL ™ © 1080PIG: indiefoxx.tv!socials "

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.

I can understand people criticizing that.

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.
