Remove the category of ''Im only sleeping''
Just saw that in Twitch is now posible to sleep, personally i see this as a complete disrepect for the little streamers that are trying their best to grow, doing amazing things and the fact that the ''big ones'' are sleeping and winning more and more followers that maybe the little streamers may afford by their own is just not fair.
Twitch, really, you should go back and ban the ones sleeping, because with this category everyone could make a really long stream by sleeping, and personally i think that if you make a long stream is because you can make it by your own or with help of a friend but always making REAL content for the community.

The ''I'm just sleeping'' category is for people who can't sleep, or who are experiencing stress, anxiety or insomnia, so if you're not happy with it, just don't watch it and move on.
thank you for your understanding

This is the category for a game called "I'm Only Sleeping" but it is abused by streamers due to its name - they do not stream this game and instead absent from a stream entirely. If such "empty" streams is OK, then either you should introduce special category for them (and not a game!) or force streamers to use more suitable category (or none at all), because otherwise this is misleading.

Here's the source of the game in question BTW: https://realityonthenorm.info/game.php?id=164 (ah the 2000s, such a simpler time with a simpler web)

It's not a category, it's a game: https://www.igdb.com/games/im-only-sleeping/?utm_source=Twitch&utm_campaign=igdb_category_link
If anything, the streamers should be penalized for not actually playing it.

Streaming is a job. No one doing a job should be able to get paid for sleeping/doing nothing. As OP stated it also undermines Little Streamers as well. BAN THE SLEEPERS!

I'm working my *** here for 8-9 hours every day and there are people sleeping on stream and still getting subscriptions, bits, donations, etc. Really ****** me off.

Tbh Twitch doesn't care. If it involves any amount of money they can gain from it, they will turn a blind eye. Same with Hot Tub streamers and other streamers who link OnlyFans, also another blatant violation of MULTIPLE ToS policies.

Just a small heads up.. but the people who are watching sleeping streams probably aren't your targeted audience.

To Twitch: please remove this category as it is a pointless waste of energy. It is not a point and click adventure.

How about remove or fix it for the real reason - "I'm Only Sleeping" is actually a random Windows point and click game, as the game description mentions.
People are still using that category for their sleep streams, and fine I get that social media is about "monkey see, monkey do" behavior, but it's weird. It's just some PC game. I asked a user why she picked that category, out of curiosity - she said "It's what everyone uses."
I think Twitch should either create a proper Sleep category, or else do as you say and ban Sleep streams.
