Twitch oversexualizes young female streamers and places them on recommended to pull people to those streams.

In 2018, while I was hired to assist in Twitchcon, during gameplay and other events, I often saw staff gawking at underage women and grouping underaged girls. We set up a Ras-Pie in and gave the wifi out to the staff to find out what was going on behind the scenes. We found that many of them were trading nudes of underage girls and joking about it in staff quarters. Often sharing their own videos of touching the underaged people and trying to compete with other staff of who can get the female streamer into bed quicker.
During a small gaming tournament nearby with a few of the gaming groups, we were asked to manipulate code in order to allow certain people to win and use admin privileges to console and inject extra perks for the players they wanted to win. Giving damage boosts, health boosts, taking away damage levels etc. They support their top-tier streamers with view bots to make them look more popular. While streamers such as Ninja was streaming during that Era we were ordered to inject close to 15,000 view bots and spam the chat with basic chatbot nonsense to try to get his views populated. They used server bots to support their bigger streamers and then boost youtube, insta, facebook, or whatever other socials they wish, to push their views and credentials to fraudulently trick sponsors into paying for their ad times or product plugs into the streams or events.

It's literally fraud then they are accepting several million dollars from a sponsor for a stream or event, that is eventually just flooded with view bots and not even real viewers.

Twitch always screws over female streamers with their content by allowing over-sexualized substances to exist on their clips and often, if the clip is removed from twitch, the staff will always upload those clips to alternate websites to keep it online forever. When Takedown requests are sent to twitch, they purposely sit behind legal gray areas of "processing" to allow viewers to see or find over-sexualized content of a streamer, so twitch gets more views, regardless of the damaging effects it could have on the person being victimized. Often refusing to allow authorities to comb through their records and using a good lawyer wall to help oversexualize streamers, versus simply taking down the pornographic or leaked nude content. As that draws more people into the site.

Twitch owns their own view bot websites, even though it's against their own TOS. They save all clips and videos and sell their sexualized content online from servers that are located out of the USA, since the US and international law can't touch those locations or be forced to remove the content.

Twitch also has no customer support and refuses to ever answer support questions in relation to direct questions. They will always copy-paste something that looks similar without directly reading support requests. They sit around their office and laugh at people sending in requests and make fun of people who are sending in legitimate technical issues with their site or other revenue-based inquiries. They only specifically focus on their top tier streamers.

Twitch also supports money laundering and even actively goes OUT to people who wish to wash funds through their website to promote the concept. As a streamer may accept donations and have a small tax fee to pay. They are "donations" at root. If a person wishes to wash their money, they can use alternate payment methods to submit donations to themselves on stream, to make it look like they are getting large amazing donations, but in reality, they are paying themselves with their own money and using the platform to wash their money, so they can legally bypass regulatory measures of money collection. AKA accepting dirty or illegal funds and then washing through twitch as a donation source. Twitch makes those bots happen. They send the dirty money to twitch, Twitch makes the bots and payment systems through their website. Then the mass donations or many small donations go to the streamer to wash it.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away. Keep your kids off the platform.

The company is a sham. I was on another website tradewheel com. When I refused to pay for their services and discussed my govt export business with them. They sold my number and other information to this Global Trade Plazy site. A few weeks after, I get a random call on WhatsApp from a guy in India claiming to have a supplier in need in Europe. After talking about specs, prices, and shipping information, the guy tells me to go sign up for his website. Fraudulently started the conversation with a lie and then tried to sell me on their fake website. I'm on a federal contract. I requested 1 month free and if they are able to make 1 sale. Then I will contract in 12 months at their most expensive plan and use the website. As per my contract arrangment with USAID.
Since they have to prove to be real. As their website is just a clone of other sales sites just like those from India. They refused. If you can't stand behind your product. It's a scam. Never buy it without proof that it has real companies on the other side. There are literally 40 other companies just like it within 10 sq miles in india. Global Trade is in the same building with 2 others. JS.

Tip for consumers:
They are 100% fraudulent in scamming and cold solicitations.

Products used:
Fake international trade for raw goods.
