Great Design, Racist/Sexist Moderation
So I used to love this app a lot. It has great picture quality, low memory usage, automatic cache cleaning and great connectivity. Its simple, clean and not hectic like the other apps.
Ive switched to the PEEKS app recently because of the horrendous moderating system on periscope. So many of my friends/followers get their accounts banned without warning and that ban lasts several weeks before people get their accounts back.
Women have it really tough. A guy can expose himself and get away with it but a woman (if shes wearing loose clothing or accidentally has a wardrobe slip), gets her account banned for several weeks. Secondly, women in regions like the Middle East (mostly Turkish) and Eastern Europe (mostly Russian), have purposefully explicit videos and the ban hammer doesnt come crashing down like it does with people in the States. Sometimes nothing happens at all to those people broadcasting overseas! But in the US, bam, you look "sexy" but classy and get your account locked. Its insulting.
Switched to Peeks. Never regretted it.
