    Just a reminder that Twitch only shows you lots of booby streams if that’s what you’ve been clicking on. Much like Tik Tok and Instagram.

      Nope, it also recommends streams based on what other people watch from the channels you’re following, it’s not only based on your viewing data. Other aggregates like generally what’s popular might get thrown into the mix as well.

      To test this create a fresh account, follow Asmongold & let his streams run for a while, after some time the recommendations are going to be full of booby streams.

      It’s kind of a running joke at this point that if you watch him you’re going to get booby stream recommendations because his viewers are degens.

        That’s why! Once in a while I watch one of his streams for a bit when he’s playing something new. Every single time I watch, I come back a day or two later and I have booby streamers in my suggestions. I’m not even remotely interested bc gay. I always have to remove the suggestion but it’s a losing battle. They come back. You’d think twitch would actually cater to only what you want to see.

        You will get occasional recommendations but they won’t fill your home page as many complain. You can. Also click the dots and tell them you’re not interested in a recommendation and then you get less of them.

      I haven’t used twitch for years, and have only used it for esports streams back when I did use it. I’ve never watched a booby stream.

      I just reinstalled the app, logged in for the first time in years, and my top recommended stream is called “2 GIRLS 1 SHOWER” and has a topless girl with a white bar over her boobs. The game category is listed as “art”.
