I had to specifically search out any of the “titty streams” that you speak of.
If kids are going to seek it out, they’re going to seek it out. The problem is that porn sites generally have a much lower quality level, as people just sweep it under the rug and expect it to be seedy and gross.
Sex is not evil, peoples bodies aren’t shameful. The entire reason these streams are so effective at exploiting that is because of the shaming and ostracizing of sex positivity. This isn’t a good thing, it’s just damage control as they lose advertising revenue as pearl clutchers whine about it in their monthly letter to the editor.
You could make similar arguments about gambling being a moral panic and they shouldn’t ban that on the site. Selling sex to kids is just as exploitive and repugnant. Maybe selling violence to them is too. You’ll eventually find a line to draw for something being a vice, even if you don’t think this is it.
Now you’re equating violence and gambling to sex? Sounds like you’re doing exactly what I described in my comment. Equating sexuality with filth and disease.
Yes, there will always be people who do their best to exploit base desires (especially in our current economic systems), that doesn’t mean what they use to exploit people is inherently bad. Maybe if we stopped trying to hide sexuality under the carpet like dust bunnies when your mother-in-law visits it wouldn’t be nearly as exploitable.
I think the fact that it is exploitive should ban it. I don’t particularly view twitch as the vanguard of a sexual revolution. I view it as a profit extracting arm of a megacorporation. It’s explicit selling sex to kids. It shouldn’t be normalized. You could argue that sex should be normalized, but exploitation (particularly in a sexual context) of children should not be.
I have an unused twitch account that I used to watch league of legends on in the mid 2010s. I logged in the other day for the first time in years, and the top stream was titled “NAKED JUMPING JACKS IN SHOWER” and had a nude girl taking a shower. A ton of the other recommendations were the same.
People don’t have to search these streams out, whatever recommendation algorithms they use are recommending them to people who have only used twitch to stream games.
Imo twitch is a website for game streaming, there are plenty of other sites for sexual content.

You’re being too European dude stop it /s

When you sell something to someone, you’re not exploiting them. You’ve got some terms mixed up here.
Why are we nuking implied nudity entirely off a website to solve a different problem, i.e. kids having access to their parents’ credit cards?
I mean yeah, banning gambling is weird as fuck and just creates black markets
