    Nope, it also recommends streams based on what other people watch from the channels you’re following, it’s not only based on your viewing data. Other aggregates like generally what’s popular might get thrown into the mix as well.

    To test this create a fresh account, follow Asmongold & let his streams run for a while, after some time the recommendations are going to be full of booby streams.

    It’s kind of a running joke at this point that if you watch him you’re going to get booby stream recommendations because his viewers are degens.

      That’s why! Once in a while I watch one of his streams for a bit when he’s playing something new. Every single time I watch, I come back a day or two later and I have booby streamers in my suggestions. I’m not even remotely interested bc gay. I always have to remove the suggestion but it’s a losing battle. They come back. You’d think twitch would actually cater to only what you want to see.
