I just want a clean video stream of someone playing a game and reacting to it sincerely without their big r-slurred face or anything else in the way

Never forget that Twitch had to specifically add a "Just Chatting" category because
refused to even pretend to play video games.

Also I find it kind of fascinating how Twitch know there's money in OF sexcams and would really like to allow that content but also know that many other streamers are going to stop using the platform if it becomes known as a s*x site. So they creep closer and closer to having outright camgirls on the site while trying to come up with some kind of plausible deniability like calling it pools and hottubs or whatever

They already do have camgirls on the site. Sure, they have to keep their underwear on, but those streams are pretty much just "click this hidden link for my paid site, teehee".
It will be a constant war with the
trying every dodge in the book to advertise on Twitch.

Twitch can't win. If they tighten their rules then they're accused of sexism, if they loosen them then they become a degenerate porn site.

Stop being a degenerate coombrain and you'd realize one of those is more of a win than the other

whats sad is just how massive and popular it can be for streamers to just sit there
and watch 
youtube 
and tiktok 
for hours every day, and kids will donate a shitload of money 
to watch 
them do it

Yeah I mean the site itself is essentially a friend/gf/goofy older brother emulator and people use it to deal with their loneliness. You have a parasocial relationship with someone who's pretending you're both sitting together making fun of youtube videos or something. I'm gonna bet that there will be much more similar stuff yet to come in the world too.

The website design is pretty terrible, I tend to just check and see if who I want to watch is live and then copy their channel URL into MPV and watch it from there.
