You have to imagine there will be some firings at twitch by end of day. Main stream press is reporting this far and wide about porn on ninja's twitch page.

Twitch immediately removing his account from the partner him sounds petty and childish. And it appears they did the same they did they same thing to the h3h3 podcast.

The sad thing is Twitch is still ran like it's a start up company. They are going to have a Digg like exodus eventually. It's just matter of when and not if.

The smart streamers are probably cultivating a brand they can take with them.

Meh, I'd shit if I had 10K viewers. Fuck, I'd shit if I had 10 viewers.
I once had 32 and i nearly shit my pants.

Sometimes I get a bunch of new people. Sometimes I get no one. At least I'm playing games and not brushing my hair (beard)

I've been getting EU kids at like 4am EST. It's actually kind of nice because they'll converse with you. It's just annoying when they want to play with you because I have enough people trying to ride this gravy train to 7% wins-ville!

I agree, but I'd be more concerned about their impression on younger kids. How many middle school/high schoolers lacking parent supervision are watching these thots? I can't imagine it's a good thing.

Do you need some pearls to clutch? When I was 10 I found some playboys. Oh no, tits!!!! It’s all over now.

Are you implying that an inanimate object is the equivalent of a "celebrity" figure that replaces social interactions and solicits money from people? The two situations aren't even remotely similar.

Basically what Dom said... being in a "social setting" with these people is much less healthy and more impressionable then some lewd photos.

They are pretty much functioning as surrogate girlfriends to a lot of young guys (and probably some girls) which is going to do some harm to their social development because they should be pursuing real girls they have actual access to instead of some fake friendly whore whose job it is to keep them watching and engaged.

The worst that finding porn mags and jerking off to them did was give you an unreasonable expectation of sex or the average woman. They actually encouraged boys to find girls to go experiment with what they were seeing. But if the women in those magazines were able to talk to those boys and give them reasons to not put the magazine down after jerking off? Yeah, different story.

You mean like all the things people say about video games vs "real social interaction"? Maybe you're right, but you're basically describing the problem with all online social interaction. From Facebook, to Discord, to gaming, to forums like this.

So boys learn early on that they’re going to end up spending too much money trying to get the attention of women? Sounds like a life lesson lol

These middle school boys are getting the early start on figuring out late highschool, early college girls. It's a fucking blessing. They can get burned early and learn to be smarter and not just live by the compass on their dick.

I don't understand the "war" against twitch thots. Who gives a fuck? Just don't watch them. As best as I can tell, people just hate they make money for low effort.
Id imagine its a combo of two things;

People hate attention whores

People dont like it when they get to break rules everyone else gets punished for
