They are talking about moving the existing lewd stuff out onto a new platform, not starting a PornHub alternative. There is obviously enough in it for Amazon, otherwise they would just ban the pools outright.

In December 2019, Gfycat started redgifs.com for adult content. Tumblr banned adult content. FOSTA/SESTA creeps up.

These are the same things.

They're suggesting a platform for sexually suggestive content, as opposed to one for sexually explicit content.

Which might actually be a viable niche. There are a lot more explicit websites out there than softcore ones.

I understand the distinction, but ultimately the reputation issue for twitch would be identical.

"They're opening a porn site?"

"No no, its a separate site for softcore...err sexually suggestive material"

It isn't a win either way, and they'd be entering established markets that already have entrenched businesses and wouldn't have the 'walk through' traffic the video games sections of twitch provide.
