To countercomment:

- Softcore porn (I would not call it porn at all, search online for softcore porn and you get something completely different). You don't have to watch it and I never see it in my feeds, you have to actively search for it to find it. So I'm wondering how you notice it for it to be a problem? Yes; I'm calling you out.

- Ads: youtube has a LOT more ads, and a lot of twitch streamers don't do the ad program. So here too I'm not as convinced it's a problem, I definitely don't see many ads and usually if there are any the streamer is aware and takes a break or something so you don't miss much.

Anecdotally, I see it recommended a lot in my feed and I don’t search for it. I know not to go to “Just chatting” basically.

But this doesn’t prevent the other problem where streamers will watch those others on their stream.

I’m not that bothered about it but I think it might be a problem that it’s a part of twitch culture.

Ads are a problem because twitch is pushing them more, while slowly degrading the profitability of normal subs (eg no 70/30 split anymore). Regarding ads they also don't seem to understand their product, having an option to switch on ads which play uncontrollably (for the streamer) while also completely hiding the stream during the ad. Combined with no rewind feature this is a complete mess.
