    The only thing that really bothers me is that the porn get shoved on the front page.

    I wanna open Twitch on my living room TV to watch SC2 and tiveux something is painting her tits on my screen already.

      From what I understand, this change will disallow any stream with these tags showing up on the front page. Though, I believe this will still be at the top of the “just chatting” category, so really it’s the same problem.

          What is there to comprehend? Linkerbaan said they want to watch Twitch but without feeling awkward seeing a bunch of titty girls on their living room TV. Dkarma’s solution is to advise them to stop watching Twitch. It’s not my advice, but the A to B logic is sound.

            “shit twitch streams” means they think there are good streams.

            The advice isnt abandon twitch. They think the only way boobi streams are on the home page is if the algorithm thinks you watch them.

            Which isnt how it works, as streams tagged as boobi wont appear unsearched on the front page according to twitch, algorithm or no algorithm.

            They said twitch streams which implies a specific sense, not Twitch in a general sense

        Just stop watching shit using twitch streams like a 10yo because it’s trash software and always has been.
