It's pretty well established that people go to twitch to watch people stream video games

Maybe that was true once, but I'm pretty sure the "Just chatting" category is almost always accounting for a massive chunk of viewership. That being said I stopped watching Twitch regularly a long time ago, so IDK for sure.

True, I remember twitch was all for games, until last several times I went I was met with women with large cleavage on the front page.

That's been a thing for a long time. Maybe not on the front page, but there's been plenty of people using cleavage as major part of the appeal of their stream. I don't see any problem with it. If people choose to watch streams for that reason, so be it. Personally, I started using twitch for politics streams/just chatting years ago and then branched into watching video games and occasional art streams.
