Im an avid twitch user. Please put down the pitchforks you may have from the title. This is her whole schtick (morgpie), finding creative ways around the censorship. Yes she does sex work, but she's also a great streamer in her own right and is actually playing the games on screen. She constatly holds a chat of like 4k people and streams for HOURS. You can only horny watch for so long, at a certain point people are staying because they just enjoy her personality and stories.
Like this is fucking hilarious. Subjectively ofc, but If my owlverweight man ass were to do the same thing, everyone would just be laughing at me.
It's called fostering parasocial relationships for profit and it's not something we should encourage.
Other than the boobs and butts the description fits 99% of people streaming gameplay and interacting with fans.
Yeah, we shouldn't encourage that either.
...I'm more serious about this than I'd like to be.
Thats a fair and valid point. I can see how that could lead to whale like spending behavior vying for attention.
Or have a dude steal $250,000.00 from his family for a cam model and then murder his family when they caught him and tried to get him to stop

It does, and it's also a thing on larger channels. When you put people's names on screen for donations, you get that whale behavior.
A Twitch streamer I like handles this pretty well, yet there are still "whales" who spend easily thousands per year on their channel, and it's a small-ish channel (like 10-20k total as the top channel in a niche game; <100k followers). The streamer acknowledges bits and subs (calls out how many months they've subbed and total gifted subs as relevant), but otherwise doesn't simp for bits or subs. They even stopped mentioning out-of-band donations unless specifically asked to. Yet the whale behavior still persists because it's a way to stand out in front of others. I can even name the top handful of donators because they make themselves so visible.
I don't like it at all, and wish there was another platform where I can pay for content and not get that nonsense. Nebula is close, but it just doesn't have the content I'm interested in.
that is onlyfans whole deal
It is not only Onlyfans whole deal, but that is how all celebrity worship works.
I’m with you. If someone wants to watch ass Fortnite why should I care?
People will forever pearl clutch.
That's like saying the porn stars are actually acting. Nobody watches porn movies for the acting.
Those are her "m'lady" fedora-wearing parasocial white knights, willing to give her all the monies.
No, at a certain point, they are going to her OnlyFans page to whack off for 5-10 minutes and then returning back to her stream. She does this to popularize herself for her real sex work, which pays real money.
That's kind of the problem, and it's a big reason why male streamers are annoyed by how female streamers present themselves on Twitch. Hell, even female streamers who just want to play games are annoyed at this shit.
Keep sex work at the sex work web sites.
it would be nice to have twitch just be for streaming again without sex crap on there.
there are so many places to stream sexy content. why can't we have one that doesn't?
Maybe people just aren't that into streamers and what they actually want is the sexed up stuff with some gaming on the side.
