I regularly see clips of very popular Twitch streamers being openly sexist, racist, and abusive. I'm curious why a single mention of a taboo topic on an AI-generated channel warranted such a severe response.

It's an open secret that very popular Twitch streamers get at best a slap on the wrist for things that get other people permabanned.

Few platforms have impartial moderation, but Twitch is very blatant about it.

Twitch bans are highly inconsistent.

The probability banning would cause a decrease in revenue (ad-viewing users not on the site if banned creator not on the site) has to be weighed against the probability not-banning would cause a decrease in revenue (advertisers not on the site if banned creator is on the site). It's all very advanced mathematics, far too difficult for the common man to understand.

Oh, uh, I mean.... "ethics". And "morals". And "terms of service". Yeah, thats it.

Exactly. Consistency and fairness are expensive, so none of the platforms actually do it.
