Twitch: "We're going to pay you to stream."

If their model was simply, "were going to pay you to stream," then it would instantly be another egirl cam site which is not inherently right or wrong.
They don't want that. It's their platform, their server space, and their rules. Similar to who you allow in your home and what you allow them to do, they decide who and what if allowed on their platform.
The "why" doesn't even matter. Maybe it's run by a far right Christian. Maybe they don't want the liability. Maybe they have a vision for what their platform is and isn't. It doesn't matter. It's their property and they decide what's allowed.
