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

      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.

          It works fine for me, but I mostly watch one streamer who only streams on Twitch. My ad blocker blocks their stupid ads on stuff I periodically check out that I’m not subbed to (e.g. MP events hosted by someone else), so it’s generally a good experience.

          However, the front page is absolute cancer, and it’s why I don’t watch many other streams. I just want my steamer and related content, and a few random favorited streamers from other games I very occasionally watch. I feel a little bad about the ad blocker, but that’s because there’s no in-between AFAIK where I can sub to 1-2 channels and still get no ads on the very rare occasions I’ll watch something else (less than once/month).
