Twitch halts paid stream boosts after viewers abuse them to push porn Twitch is halting a feature that lets viewers pay to promote their favorite streamers after bad actors used it to push porn and other NSFW content onto its homepage. First spotted by PC Gamer, a number of Twitch users on Twitter this week noticed that streams of porn videos were on the homepage, all featuring the caption “Promoted by the streamer’s community." It appeared that a number of unidentified users were taking advantage of the platform’s “Boost Train” program, which boosts streamers if enough fans create a “hype train” by purchasing subscriptions and bits. https://www.engadget.com/twitch-halt...8.html?src=rss |
