Twitch has not turned into a cesspool, I think it kinda always was lol. Influencers have always been a big problem for social media, kids are wasting their entire time with them and even adults, especially in crypto, paying way too much attention to them, paying them money and fooling others into thinking they can also become rich by "influencing".
It's not about gambling per se, it's about this mentality of distracting people and making poor choices for role models.
