you kinda missed the whole point of the video if you turned it off that early

the dude ranting got banned for 5 days for that rant whereas a girl masturbating for tips got banned for only 1 day, the video is about how weird and lax Twitch is with its rules when it comes to titty streamers
Alright, I went back and watched the rest. That was a real bad way to start that video...

I agree with the sentiment of the video.
I think Glink misses the mark in that you generally do need to sell a personality to get big on Twitch, even if that involves sex. You can't "just" be a camgirl, you have to have some other draw, even if it's selling yourself to your viewers. I also think it's wrong to imply that there's something implicitly immoral about being a camgirl (or guy, and there are guys who get views because they sell their bod).
But, he's right, Twitch is not the place for that. Or, at least, the bar for breaking the rules is egregiously low and that's partially because Twitch admins seriously don't care. You can look all over and find stories about how X streamer got perma-banned for something stupid, but Y "Just Chatting" streamer gets a slap on the wrist for really sick stuff that obviously breaks the rules.

I am not against nudity on Twitch (especially artful nudity), or camgirls in general, or even young people having access to porn - but if you showed some of these streams to an average lawmaker and explained that a core part of the audience is probably 12 year olds, there would be some extreme calls to censor the internet - and that's not a good thing. Twitch seriously needs to shape up and crackdown on people who aren't using the platform for anything but selling sex.
