Women exploitinging their sexuality to entice men - even if it has nothing to do with the subject at hand? A story as old as human history...

Of course, not all women do it, and not all men fall for it. Nonetheless, it happens literally everywhere.

I think that what you omit is important to add: most viewers if virtually almost all of them are young males.

So female streamers, like every streamer, leverage what the viewers are more likely to fall for, in this case, sexualization.

"Researchers"

Why is researchers in scare quotes? I just checked, both authors have doctorates and have published papers in this field of study.

Because you don't need to research this to see that it's obviously true and has been true throughout history.

Really wish Twitch had stayed true to its lewd ban of 2014[0] instead of becoming Chaturbate 2.0.

Exactly. I have my degree as well, so I was doing some research of my own. It’s an ongoing thing.
