I heard a big issue with this is usually payment providers, Visa being a big one that has blocked processing based off nudity before. If they did do it like this, they would keep their income on the main site but, they likely would lose the ability to have income sources outside of advertising (the ones that still will) on the nude friendly version. At that point they likely just would just drop the service anyway cause it wouldn't be profitable for them.

I don't see why they wouldn't just have you buy credits or something. So you'd buy X "Twitch bucks," which you could use for kids, regular, or adult parts of the site (the porn section, if it exists, could have a different payment system).

you already can buy twitch gift cards and they can be used for subs and bit purchases, the issue is getting that currency over to the explicit version of the site without getting the providers in a tizzy. The bottom line is they don't want to be associated with content like that, so if they learn that it can be bought and then used for it they'll threaten to pull the plug. They could try to use a different payment system with a vendor that has a higher broker fee but, there aren't many out there, there's a reason that VISA is seen everywhere.
