Let chants be optional instead of removing them

I know Twitch says the feature seemed to cause a decrease in viewership during their testing, but there are so many other factors that can affect that and many streamers who got to try out the chant feature really enjoyed it. I think it’d be better to make it an optional feature rather than remove it entirely, and let people decide on their own if it works for their channel.

    I am a mod on a communitty who really loved Chants. In fact, twitch said that it affected negatively on the viewership but we have lost interactions and viewership because of chant's removal

    This was a great feature, made no sense to take it away. make it optional for the streamer to turn it off or on, and who can use It, streamer only or mods included. it was a great feature to keep the chat alive and have the lurkers involved.

    Please bring back chants, was the best about twitch *sad*

    Chants helped chat and streamers to generate interactions, encouraged lurkers to interact with the community and were extremely positive to generate engagement and hype between the viewers and the mods

    Chants are amazing for small creators to have fun and engage with the chat!! PLEASE KEEP THEM!!

  • hurryslowly commented  ·   ·  Report

    It definitely doesn't seem reasonable to shut off a feature that streamers/mods can choose to use or not anyway because of tests on a small number of users/communities.

    I agree with this, chants have always been a great addition for our community and encourage many lurkers and first time chatters to participate in the chat more frequently

    I enjoyed using chants in music channel to sing along with everyone.

    I can see how they could be annoying for some but not EVERYONE hates chants. Literally all you need to do is make it an option a streamer can toggle for their channel, or select who can start chants ("mods&streamer" or "streamer only").

    Let streamers decide what WE want in our OWN communities! Twitch literally can't exist without the streamers, but never listens to what we want.

    I didn't even get to see this in action anywhere. I feel like this feature had too small of a sample size for testing. Would love to see more of it.

    Chants are one of my favorite elements of creator's streams, please make them optional 🙏

  • TriHouse commented  ·   ·  Report

    How hard is it to keep the features people clearly want?

  • BenGSimon commented  ·   ·  Report

    Chants are a massive part of the music community, and taking this away is ABSOLUTELY a detriment. Make it optional, and that way content creators can CHOOSE what kind of content they are creating.

  • KaiohHokuto commented  ·   ·  Report

    Chants are fun! Just make an option to turn them on or off. No need to completely remove the feature.

  • Zealothia commented  ·   ·  Report

    Make chants optional for everyone! Many of my friends are *STILL* waiting for this feature!! Don't take it away from us, specially when most of us still didn't even have a chance to use it!
