That's because it (the anime programming and pornography) is worse. At least from a corporate perspective. For the same reasons tumblr banned pornography, yet still hasn't done anything to fight child pornography, child abuse, or grooming on their platform. For the same reasons youtube demonetizes videos about legal education or discussing alphabet/google/youtube policies, yet still allows child grooming and radicalization to be monetized and recommended to children. As always: money.

That's from the perspective of Twitch not the article author's. I quoted it because I found it funny and I think that's what the author was going for, but now I'm regretting it a little since I feel like I just got baited.

  Yeah, the last line of the article seals it as an intentional joke. > Just like anime, Artifact was a mistake

    For those who don't know, it's a play on "Anime was a mistake"[0] which is a quotation jokingly attributed to Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli). [0] https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/anime-was-a-mistake https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/anime-was-a-mistake

  Great counter-argument.

  This is well documented [0] and has been going on for years. Rather than take a straightforward approach of hiring more community managers (which is expensive) to solve the problem they instead rely on algorithms that punish probable child abuse with demonetization (harking back to my earlier point that it's all about money) rather than say banning and reporting to authorities.
