    One has to wonder if they just split off adult content into a separate platform using the same Amazon logins, and including cross-platform notifications one way from the twitch site to the adult site whether it would solve both their cash flow and advertising problem.

      Or just buy Onlyfans. 😅 For Onlyfans it’d solve their payment issues: Amazon allows using it for payment, and Amazon is big enough that Visa and MC cannot just threaten it.

        Amazon is so damn big that they could sell the service for OnlyTwitch via Amazon. Amazon sells loads of sex toys and adult products so they just sell a virtual balance card that you redeem on OnlyTwitch. OnlyTwitch itself could be effectively a business that doesn’t have to manage payments at all and just uses balance.

          I want to do the math here, but I’m already late to the party. Amazon sells sex toys as health and beauty products. It’s a thin vaneer of plausible deniability. I’d be curious if Amazon is actually large enough financially to actually leverage the large processors. I would be honestly surprised if Amazon is handling a large enough stake by themselves to offset literally every other vendor on the planet combined. But they might. I don’t actually know.

            That’s kinda what I mean that they could hide it in giftcard sales so the payment processors wouldn’t really be the wiser just like how they hide adult products.
