    I’m all for allowing nudity in general, but it would be nice if you could actually block it or at least remove it from your recommendations.

    One time I accidently clicked on one of these bathtub streamers and since then there always is one in my recommendation, with no way to remove it. I literally had to install a browser extention “Unwanted Twitch” to finally get rid of it.

      My home page is literally bathtub streamers and horny VR chat streamers, I think it’s because I watch VR chat meme streamers (lolathon, darrenzeus) and the algorithm just thinks that means I want horny shit. I’ll have to look at that extension.

          It’s crazy to me that Twitch doesn’t natively have an option to blur thumbnails based on content tags, yet HAS mature content tags (for M-rated games). This service launched in 2011.

        That’s it. If other viewers of streamers you watch are watching those streams, it’ll push them to you

      Allowing you to block them would also be sexist of you. You need to be reeducated by showing you even more of them to correct your sexism.

      It’s a circular game and in the end, nobody wins.
