What’s the matter with you? Well, we want to know this too.

First of all-what is Twitch?

Twitch is an online platform that allows gamers to live stream their matches, share tips and even host podcasts.

Although it sounds like a strange concept to those who are not involved in the game world, it is not difficult to understand.Last November Twitch live The quarrel between Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the Federal New Democratic Party, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the U.S. Congress, made headlines. The company had previously raised a donation of $200,000 for initiatives aimed at reducing food and housing security.

The game between politicians proved that streaming can bring high profits, and some gamers have obtained brand endorsements and sponsorships.

Why do people play games from the hot tub?

The latest trend in Twitch is that female players are running around in the hot tub??. In fact, there is an entire category dedicated to swimming pools, hot tubs, and beaches.

Some people say that they started participating in this trend for a variety of reasons-whether it was to increase the number of viewers or just for entertainment purposes.

But this trend is not without critics.

Some users of Twitch say that it violates the platform’s community guidelines and is therefore not suitable for platforms that are popular among younger audiences.

Conversely, the streamers said they had been harassed on the channel and criticized the trend as outdated.

Twitch talked about this issue in a blog, noting that “we will not take enforcement action against women or anyone who serves us because of the attractiveness of women.”

What does this have to do with otters?

If you go to Twitch’s “Pool, Hot Tub, and Beach” category landing page, you will see a live stream between player videos in the bathtub, which is built by the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Center for sea otters of.

Marine Mammal Rescue Channel It is the second most popular video stream in the category at the time of launch, and the live stream shows that viewers can view the “#1 cold bucket” otter stream with “the thinnest fur”.

Rachel Nelson, an otter trainer at the Vancouver Aquarium, said that the channel can attract an average of 3,000 viewers at any given time. They can watch otter games, eat and even train 24/7.

She said: “I think it’s very comfortable to transfer in and see some fluffy baby otters.”

How did this happen?

This is not the first time the Vancouver Aquarium has attempted to broadcast live. The organization previously broadcast live streams of otters, penguins and jellyfish on its website and YouTube.

Nelson said that the live broadcast of the otter began to attract a loyal fan base. At that time, an otter named Joey was rescued just a few years old. Joey’s fans flocked to the comment section of YouTube to ask the coach about his care and his condition.

Nielsen said that volunteers from the Marine Corps rescue organization believe that Twitch is because of its easy-to-use chat function, which allows viewers to submit questions and trainers can answer these questions in real time.

She said that the “pool, hot tub, and beach” category created by Twitch only promoted the otter’s fame.

She said: “They took advantage of the hot tub phenomenon. I think it’s a surprise for people, but everyone seems to like otters.”

“People have become so excited. They have begun to understand all of our otters. Some people can actually tell them except for the color of their beards or fur.”

Will the aquarium profit from the stream?

The Canadian Fisheries and Ocean Organization believes that the sea otters in the Vancouver Aquarium are not releasable. Nelson said many people were rescued as orphans a few days after birth. They cannot learn basic survival skills from their mothers.

Nelson said that although the aquarium hopes that the stream will inspire donations and increase trips to the facility, it cannot directly profit from the stream.

The pandemic was very severe at the Vancouver Aquarium. The aquarium had to close its doors to visitors and eventually Sold to an American travel company.

But Nelson said the flow of information has also expanded the audience of the aquarium, from people visiting the Vancouver Otter Circle to anyone in the world with an Internet connection.

“We still have to do all the enrichment. We still have to spread the information about these magical animals.”
