The meta of the Just Chatting category
This isn't the first time that the meta of Twitch has been discussed so widespread and for an extended amount of time. There was CS:GO gambling five years ago, ASMR three years after that, and now the pool meta.
There've been some of the same points made, but I'd focus here on things that one can do with what's available now:
This type of content isn't something I have an interest in seeing when I go to Twitch.
- One can remove what categories and channels are recommended to them.
While I understand this content is within Twitch policy, where the line is drawn should be looked at.
- Suggestions can be submitted to the UserVoice. Search and vote on suggestions that already exist, or submit your own.
What I'm seeing violates the Terms of Service or the Community Guidelines [1] [2] [3].
- Make sure that the content actually violates policy, then submit a report on Twitch. Do not report on users here on r/Twitch.
While there are some recent posts on the current meta, we've had to remove a significant number of other submissions for violating subreddit rules. Here are some major culprits:
- Targeting specific users for a witch-hunt (Rule 1f)
- Wanting to report specific users (Rule 3b)
- Using sexist or other derogatory speech (Rule 1g)
- Going after each other in the comments (Rule 1h)
The subreddit rules are an extension of Reddit's Content Policy and the spirit (if not, letter) of Twitch's ToS & Community Guidelines. These rules are in place so that Redditors can discuss topics surrounding Twitch.
Due to the influx of posts on the same topic and the overall state of commentary on such posts, the topic is considered repetitive. See the Read Before Posting sticky for other topics and megathreads.
