18 plus Hot tub stream solution for ads and keeps the site safer for everyone
I would love to see a site wide discoverability feature that universally lets me or any user "hide streams that are all 18+ content. " With a very simple toggle button to hide those channels.
In addition to this, having all 18+ content not visible in any discovery page if a user is not logged in to the site.
to clarify: 18 plus content may or may not include just hot tub streams, political or sensitive topics, graphic video games, etc.
Being able to quickly toggle and categorize these channels either universally help create targeted ads for these channels, or turn ads off of these channels while this toggle is turned on.
Hey All!
We’ve heard your feedback and have created a Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches category on Twitch. What this means is that you can choose to ignore that category if it shows up in your recs on the front page.

I'd love nothing more than to never again see women pr**ti**ting themselves on camera on the front page on twitch.tv
There's other sites for that.

Hello,
I'm a gamer and I come to twitch to watch funny and high skilled fellow gamers. I don't need to see scantly clothed women on twitch, nor recommendations for them.
From a feminist perspective, I find those kind of streams degrading for women, because it shows that they can be more successful with pure lewdness than with being a funny or high skilled 'girl gamer'. I have a cousin who is under 18 years old and the thought of him growing up with scantly clothed women on twitch is disgusting.
People are free to do what they want, but please give me the option to not see this kind of stuff.
Best Regards,
arcsaber

I think the viewers need the power to ban/hide channels. Example given: Hot Tub, body painting, sun bathing...etc...
There are a lot of parents who don't want their young kids browsing categories and see these thumbnails. Twitch allows the banning of viewers, Let the viewers have the ability to ban channels. Hide them from the category browes pages.
Make Twitch Safe Again
Make a category for 18+ viewers, Don't just let these people in "Just Chatting" showing off their near naked bodies, while children are browsing and room hopping.
