But what exactly is the domestic bad reputation of Afreeca? Most streaming platforms like Twitch have their own share of NSFW content. How is Afreeca any different? Or is it more of a cultural issue? Or some big scandal? I think it is also that in Korea the other ones (local) are less NSFW I suppose. So bit of a cultural thing but they may have had other scandals. Twitch is irrelevant there. Note in Korea it is also quite common to rebrand and change names, for instance political parties do this almost every election. | ||

The real issue is that the international version of the PC site doesn't have game categories ala the Korean one, so you can't easily see all/most viewed SC streams, for instance. In the mobile app you can do this even when abroad. Once you have direct links to relevant streamers though, it's a completely fine platform IMO. (Hint: https://bwstreams.appspot.com/ ) IMO, Afreeca provides a way better viewing experience than for instance Chinese ones like Douyu/Douyin/Bilibili or Japanese ones like Niconico. Insane that somehow back in the 2000s, most Asian video platforms decided that chat messages and comments rolling across the video screen was a good idea. | ||
