Twitch cracks down on ‘butt streamers’ who were streaming on their private parts
The trend of people streaming on their butts may be forced to end thanks to new community guidelines from Twitch. But regular viewers seem unconvinced anything will really change.
The concept of streaming on your bottom sounds nonsensical (it certainly did to me), but people were using green screens so their livestreams could appear on their butts. Basically, you were watching someone point a camera at their ass, which would display the streamer playing games like Fortnite. The trend quickly spread to streamers, particularly VTubers, using the same strategy but for their thighs or breasts, making it 2024’s equivalent of the hot tub streaming meta.
