Not that I use Twitch much anymore, nor am I really bothered by see a random boob or dick every once in a while. What does annoy me is that the OnlyFans "models" see every other platform as means to push their OnlyFans subscriptions. How the hell are the so much money flying around that it can finance that many OnlyFans creators?

We can't funding for ad free search, video stream or software development, but we have millions of men and women doing OnlyFans... I don't get it.

I'm willing to bet that 60% of OF creators, after accounting for the required equipment, are not making money. I'd also bet that at least 20% of those making money are from a country where $150 a month is a whole salary.

And then there's the question of how many of them are being trafficked.

The Internet Is for Porn.

People are hypocritical. There are a lot of religion fanatics, prude morality fighters and others activists fighting against "sins". But in the end of day they all come home and watch porn. And many pay for it directly or indirectly.

And markets with most prude societies are usually ones with highest porn consumption. Humanity.

There is a time and place for everything, I don't go to PH for gaming or programming content, and I don't think it's wrong to ask for the opposite.

Poster above wondered where are money coming from and this was the answer. There are people who pay to webcam models on Twitch and this is the reason why Amazon allow it to happen. Money.

Anyway I feel like power users are just more likely affected here and see soft porn on Twitch more often. To be honest I only ocasionally use Twitch, but last month I've been watching Trackmania there a lot. Like every day for several hours at least.

And know what? I dont see any NSFW stuff whatsoever because I only watch few top streamers playing certain game. There simply no need to ever go to twitch frontpage or look at boobs.

PS: As gamer I would really appreciate to just have NSFW toggle so everyone can watch whatever they want.

Well.. no I was wondering if that many people are actually paying for OnlyFans for it to be profitable for that many creators.

Parent comment got it right, I feel like it would be reasonable to expect the OnlyFans creators to keep their almost shameful self-promotion of platforms like Twitch or YouTube. I don't care what kind of content they produce, as long as it's consensual they can do whatever they want, and it's not the nature of the content that irritates me, it's the insane level of self-whoring, it's pretty cringe.

I can see it from the point of view of Twitch, it's content, it sells, it makes money so leave it.
