Not enough titty streamers in hot tubs. Twitch is now (since ~2017) Chaturbate-lite, they don't care about content like this because doesn't bring enough thirsty viewers who will sub and donate.

As much as I love some of the streamers on that platform, I think I gotta agree. Twitch is going downhill hard and fast.

I just checked the top 50 live streams in English by viewer count. Exactly one of the fifty (it's not even in the top half) fits your characterization.

It's a bit of an incel meme. One tried to sue twitch for $25 million for making him into a masturbation addict or some such thing.

Those streams certainly receive less aggressive moderation.

I might ask here; RTX has been out for 2.5 years, has there been any cool demos (in the demoscene sense) that use RTX in an interesting way? Because I can't recollect any, but then I have been following the scene pretty loosely lately.. I would have imagined its a tech that some coders would be very interested in.

Just wait a few hours. You picked the wrong time.

The 4K PC intro competition is incredible, well-worth watching in full.

If you didn't know they were entirely rendered in realtime by just 4K of code, you might think you were just watching a series of beautiful, well-produced music videos.

(A few of the 256-byte ones afterwards get pretty hair-raising too.)

…and CCC helps them get back up: https://streaming.media.ccc.de/revision/revision

It's amazing how fast they got everything back up. And at a higher quality than Twitch, too! The c3voc folks are heroes.

Quality is terrific. Probably because the lo-fi frames compress nicely! Underscores the need for a dedicated video service for live coders, algo ravers, demosceners, etc. Mux would be an interesting sponsor here ;)

What streaming tech / infrastructure do they use?

A bunch of custom stuff around industry and open standards, from camera to mixer to transcoder to CDN to browser code.

If you don't filter by English (or anything else), it's only two in the Top 200 right now. One of them is dancing (which then seems fine to me), one is doing ASMR and her outfit today isn't even that much of a "titty streamer". And zero in hot tubs.

Didn't expect HN to fall for the incel memes like that. Also didn't think I need to give that advice here, but Twitch's frontpage and suggestions in the sidebar are personalized, so if you see those kind of streams regularly, it might be your surfing behavior.

That does not mean that Twitch doesn't have some problems in their moderation/admin team, but especially the "titty streamer / hot tub" problem isn't as big as some try to make it out to be.
