My mind was recently blown by how much people tip on gamer streams. I was watching Shroud play PUBG, he suddenly gets tipped $550, doesn't even acknowledge it.
Once you get past the fact that they are both livestreams the similarity ends. Twitch explicitly forbids sexual content [0]. There are some streamers that dress suggestively, but they're in the minority.
Your statement is not much different from calling YouTube no different from PornHub.
This is a great point. But many of these services do not let you withdraw easily or at all. On Yours, you can cash out instantly. Even if the company goes away, you can export your keys and cash out even then :)
Anyone who's active in virtual worlds knows people love to buy content and tip creators and performers.

Except virtual worlds, which have whole economies based on micropayments.
