Twitch has paused its Boost Train feature, which launched last month and let people pay to promote streams, after porn ended up on users\u2019 homepages with the label \u201cpromoted by the streamer\u2019s community\u201d slapped onto the NSFW thumbnails (via Kotaku<\/em><\/a>). <\/p>\n
Several<\/a> Twitter<\/a> and Reddit users<\/a> (NSFW links, by the way) shared screenshots of pornographic thumbnails that showed up at the front of their \u201cLive channels we think you\u2019ll like\u201d sections. The thumbnails indicate that the streams showed up there thanks to an experimental feature that Twitch first announced last year<\/a>. The feature has changed since it was first introduced, but the basic concept remains the same \u2014 users can spend money to get a stream in front of people\u2019s eyes. In this case, it just happened to be content not allowed on Twitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nTwitch is pausing Boost Train \u201cdue to some safety considerations\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nUnless the Twitch users promoting the streams were explicitly trying to get the feature shut off, or get the creator in trouble, it\u2019d be hard to call it money well spent \u2014 three accounts have been featured in the most popular screenshots of porn showing up on users\u2019 homepages, and they have all been suspended for violating Twitch\u2019s Community Guidelines. (As Zach Bussey points out<\/a>, link again NSFW, the boosted streams could\u2019ve also just been plain old-fashioned trolling.)<\/p>\n
Twitch has \u201cdecided to pause Boost Train due to some safety considerations that came up through the experiment,\u201d Twitch\u2019s head of communications Sam Faught said in a statement emailed to The Verge. <\/em>He added that Twitch will \u201cshare additional updates with our community around new features to help improve discoverability, as available.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Twitch doesn\u2019t come right out and say that the experiment has been paused because of the reports, it seems likely that it played a part in the decision. Twitch\u2019s rules prohibit \u201cNudity and sexually explicit content or activities,\u201d and the thumbnails contained… well, basically all of that. We\u2019ve also seen how unwanted attention can harm marginalized streamers<\/a>, which could\u2019ve also been a concern had the feature lived on. Kotaku <\/em>asked whether the feature would return or be modified, but Twitch reportedly only replied with a reiteration that it was on pause for now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
