Do you think Gamefaqs has this problem anymore with underage users coming here?


Twitch has been battling the onslaught of under 13 year olds streaming on the website and bypassing several methods to get on as many predators view their channels and ask them inappropriate questions!!

Young children are using their smartphones to go live in the popular "Just Chatting" section of the popular gaming website as viewers often ask how old someone is before asking inappropriate questions and making sexual advances and even asking for SOCIAL MEDIA.

They often get upwards of 15-20 viewers as many ask them to do offensive dares and trick them into thinking they are getting money

Twitch has pointed to its reporting system as a way to fight the inappropriate behaviour and for channels with broadcasters who are under 13 but that has not stopped them from streaming on the platform

Twitch has now removed certain listings on the just chatting section including "Recently Started" and "Viewers High to Low" to fight the change..although sadly for all the new users hoping to gain an audience will now have an even tougher time getting attention as only the top streamers are now listed at the top on search of the section leaving low viewer counts fighting with the top users

I've said it before. Anyone under 18 shouldn't be allowed on the internet.

Does Gamefaqs have this problem? Gamefaqs is mostly middle aged men.

I'm getting my kids a flip phone until they're 18, they only need to call and text. They can get online via computer at home especially if its required for schoolwork. I'll enroll them in a martial arts/self defense class so they can defend themselves against any bullies that give them shit for not having a smartphone, as well as any predators and just generally being useful skills they can carry with them their whole life.

Once they turn 18 I'll get them the most recent most badass smartphone for all their troubles as a welcome to adulthood. What they do with it from there is their choice as an adult. Hopefully I will have taught them enough about what the dangers are and how to avoid them

The Justchatting/irl sections were a mistake. It brought in an audience/streams that have no business being on the platform.

I had no idea there were underage streamers. They must have slipped through the age check.

You don't even need a capture card. You can stream games straight off of consoles. Also IRL and Just Chatting Streams are a thing, and a super super popular thing as well.

Really sad how whenever men sees 13 year old girls on the net the first thing that springs to their mind is having sex with them. There is no limit to their thirst.

Just Chatting is the second most populated category right now, next to Fall Guys and that literally came out yesterday. 213k viewers at the moment.

Maybe I'm old school, but I think you should be required to, y'know, actually play a video game to be considered a streamer.

That's not even "old school" because there have been irl streamers/people just talking in front of a webcam since literally the beginning. That's just your weird gatekeeping
It's not gatekeeping, it's trying to maintain the focus of the site as one that was for gaming content. If you want to irl stream, do it on facebook, youtube, instagram...the litany of other sites available.
