I don't appreciate the sarcasm. Seeing a nipple can have serious effects on the psyche of a still-developing child. Luckily, the chance to see one (even by accident) is very small, since we banned nipples in 2017, and very few people now have them.
I'm curious, what are those serious side-effects? Humans have seen nipples since...forever? These sounds just like another crazy theory
Is anything capable of disrupting Twitch at this point? YouTube would be impossible to disrupt, but Twitch is ephemeral. So maybe if enough people got outraged?
It is possible. Here’s how: - reach out to 20 biggest streamers on twitch and get them to agree to move to your platform, the same way spotify got Joe Rogan to move from YT to Spotify - with signed agreements ready get funding - build the platform, and all accompanying streamer tools, preferably fix all major issues that twitch has - set the date for launch - launch, with all your onboarded twitch streamers streaming…

Anegdata, I just stopped listening to Joe Rogan, despite liking Spotify more than Youtube. I was on the fence anyway, I'm lazy and so on.
It seems to me that we're at the point where it takes the next generation of kids for a new service to get into a crowded space. Because popular people on the platform (it's always about these hubs, that you got right I think) just become older and less relatable.

Isn't that what Mixer did, and failed?
Any word on why they were banned?
One of the demos had a nipple in it. Probably got flagged by an algorithm.
Thankfully American owned companies are doing their best to keep evils such as nipples and general nudity off the screen.

Youtube would be theoretical able, if they get their shit together and fix their aweful attitude and technology. They have the size, the ability and money...but for some reason social services & user friendliness is a big blind spot for google and they regulary fail hard in that area. And this shows in youtube streaming-area which is so user hostile that it even has started to shrink now.
Anything that is owned by Google won't improve but rather decline:
- search? Was at its best in 2007
- Reader? Killed after spending all the air in the rss market.
- Google+? Killed after they'd suffocated a few interesting alternatives.
- etc
(notable exception: after a decade they've actually stopped serving me insulting ads - but I do wonder if that wasn't Google but rather the advertiser who got whiff that Google sent their expensive "targeted" ads to everyone.)

Twitch itself replaced HitboxTV, which was pretty much in Twitch's situation today: a de facto monopoly, and technical issues (they offered either the resource hungry Flashplayer or a semi-broken HTML5 implementation). SO what will disrupt Twitch is the same thing as usual: a combo of a greedy company, a user experience that gets worse and worse, and a new tech coming out.
Interestingly Youtube has 2 out of 3 - greedy company running ads every 3 minutes, and constant full screen badgering about cookies and sign-ups. I wonder what the new tech will be that will complete the set?
