Following Side Bar
Why have the channels that you follow been moved off of the side bar. I rarely watch live and having easy and quick access to channels that I follow regardless of whether they are live or not is important.
The side bar currently only contains; your followed channels that are currently live (this is good keep it) & recommended channels (this is useless, as the front page already has this and does it better, remove it. its using valuable space unnecessarily)
Bring back followed channels to the side bar, live ones at the top and offline ones under. Nothing else.
Also once they are back on the side bar allow us to arrange them in more ways. NOT using what ever algorithm use to arrange them, it sucks. We should be able to arrange our followed channels how we see fit not it a way that seems to change with the wind. This would be very easy to do, they could be arranged; Alphabetically, most recently live/interacted with, most watched, most recently followed?, and custom (users arrange channels in whatever order they want).
I believe all these changes are extremely necessary and should be implemented as soon as possible. Thank you for your time.

I just opened Twitch and found all my offline followed channels had disappeared from the left sidebar.
Selecting who to watch from that bar, including VODs from people I know streamed since I was last online, was my main way of accessing Twitch content. Hiding most people I follow behind additional clicks makes Twitch significantly worse for keeping up with my favourite streamers whose streaming schedules frequently doesn't exactly match my availability to watch them.
Please at least add an option to include offline followed channels in the sidebar.

Switch back to being able to see offline streamers in your following list on the left hand side of the main page. It has become a monumental task to find a channel I am following who is offline.

Can we please have the side panel reverted to show our offline follows again directly? I use this to quickly catch up with vods if I missed a stream, but now I have to search for the streamers, or keep their offline pages bookmarked to easily check them.
