It has been said that a nice behind is a complete source of entertainment, and the world still agrees with that statement. The past month on Twitch proved it once again. The talk of the town was Mia Malkova, an adult film star who also streams on Twitch, but this time it wasn't about gaming. She simply turned around and let viewers admire her beauty while she lounged in a hot tub. Her clip attracted over 500k viewers and the numbers are still climbing.
There wasn't much serious discussion surrounding this sight at the time. Some viewers expressed admiration, while others shared their thoughts and some were just curious about how it all happened. The fact remains that you don't have to be a pro gamer to get the most views - all you need is a nice behind and the courage to show it off.
Hot tub videos are not a new sight on Twitch, although it's not the platform's primary purpose. On the flip side, many of Twitch's biggest hits have nothing to do with gaming. They could be candid conversations, bloopers, planned stories, and more, but not gameplay or reviews. The clip format is perfect for this, making Twitch more of a rival to TikTok than YouTube.
Clips are often used to capture unintentional moments that are usually awkward or bizarre, which occur more frequently in real life than on camera. Thus, the trend continues with clips uploaded to Twitch.
As for Mia Malkova, she has a legitimate reason to be on Twitch in addition to Pornhub. She is genuinely interested in gaming and often streams her gameplay like any other gamer. However, gaming is not what made her a star. What defines Twitch is not videos that can be found on other platforms. Or perhaps our expectations are outdated, as we still view Twitch as primarily game-focused?
