I don't see how being a "gaming" [1] video streaming service implies that you need to take action against gambling that is implemented via it. They will just move somewhere else. Seems like an ultra tunnel visioned political "issue".
1. One which barely has anything to do with gaming other than having 3 lines of code to store a game identifier with a stream to say which game the stream was mainly streaming. They even have entire streams that do non gaming shit and that's what all the top streamers do most of the time.
In other words, this is outrage porn against streaming services (I think, as like with counter strike go loot boxes[2]. i don't understand your culture though [not that i cant, i just dont care] so I could be entirely wrong). This is no different than when cameras or VHS came out and people complained about piracy and whatever. Whatever political takeaway we're supposed to be getting here is invalid. Twitch is just a streaming site. If I make my own streaming site (which I'll never do, because the web is horse shit), I shouldn't have to hire people to purge gambling on it.
> but you are profiting from them looking at your ads while they gamble
And VHS profited from mass piracy. Get a grip.
2. yeah, loot boxes are fucking cancer, i don't care for making them illegal though as that requires paying more tax and they will just come up with different cancer. you cant fix bad developers
