Bump.

I cannot believe this keeps needing to be said at this point.

Blocking is an impossible mission.
I should be able to block any specific channel, category, tag, with a few clicks.
Most are insanely complicated to do, and require reporting(?) a channel, going through a report form(?) and only then is a "block" button shown.
Tags, meanwhile, are simply not possible to block.
Also there should be an option to automatically hide all channels whose stream title, or channel name, or channel bio, contains certain words.

As of now it's just not possible.

Also: if a channel is playing, and I click on report and then click on block (because as of now there is NO option to just block), then Twitch takes me back to the homepage of the website (good), but keeps the channel visible in a miniplayer (not good!).
Blocked channels will still show on homepage as the large featured recommendations.

In short: give users actual control over what the #### the see (get it? You didn't see foul language there).

It seems a glaring oversight that streamers can ban you, delete your follow, & block you from being able to follow again. But we can’t block streamers who are vitriolic to the community.

Then again, it also makes a certain amount of sense, bc most of the worst offenders are partner’d streams, & why would Twitch let you block channels that are willfully toxic when those channels are making so much money for the company? (Yes, I’m talking specifically about a certain someBODY.)

Seems bizarre that I cannot block entire catergories or tags.

Yes! Why is Amouranth ALWAYS in the suggestion box 24/7? Believe or not... not here for soft ****. Want her gone.

PLEASE let us block individual streamers from the general searches. This request was made in 2015. What sort of worklist is this? I'm commenting in 2023.

Allow us to ignore entire CATEGORIES, like hot tub streams. **** is already all over the Internet. Open Twitch.*** if you want the raunchy stuff.

I am subscribed to multiple streamers using money from my own pocket. If this isn't resolved, I will have to cancel all of my subscriptions.

it is VERY VERY ANNOYING certain streamers i dislike keep appearing at my twitch home screen

let us block ***** streamers

Why can't we block streams we do not want to see? I don't care for bikini streamers, let them do their thing. But I do not want to see the streams? it's just gross.

Hey All,

somehow there is missing a key feature on Twitch, which is blocking Streamer/Streams.

I just can speak for myself, but I would highly appreciate this function to block and prevent myself from seeing partially naked woman on twitch.

sincerely

Have an accessible check box next to the "Report Streamer" button that will at least stop it from appearing in the Recommended Channels list.

If I block a streamer for inappropriate content I intend for it to stay that way. I do not want the blocked streamer recommended as an alternative if the streamer I choose to watch is offline. I do not want the blocked streamer to be recommended to me ANYWHERE on the website.

I have nothing to add, the other comments have likely already stated what I want to say.

There needs to be an easier way to block a user and/or streamer. I've tried multiple times to block certain streamer(s) content from showing up on the browse page on Twitch. The only way I found to be able to block a streamer's content is to go to their page and report the content and then finally a block option comes up. But even this doesn't work because I have now done this 3 times on the same account and it still shows up. There is just some content I am not comfortable seeing on Twitch and I wish there was a one-stop button to block a user and then I never have to see their content and page show up when trying to browse other streamers.

How is this still not a thing? I should just be able to *mouse over* -> *hide streamer*.

Edit: Shoutout to thx1377. I used your tip to remove amouranth from my recommended. It sucks, but I'll have to do that every time I log in and see a "hot tub", "ASMR", "This is actually sexual content but Twitch allows it for some reason" streamer pop on my recommended. I stopped using twitch for a couple of years because of this, but I want to support my favorite streamers, so I guess I have to deal.

thx1377: "Settings -> Security and Privacy -> Privacy section and click the "Show Blocked Users" link."

When blocking users on twitch make it so you no longer see their twitch channel and streams.

Definitely agree that people should have the option to in some way opt out of seeing a channel on their front page when browsing. I'd like to add the recommendation that some people who don't want pages banned or waste their time with fake block reports for pages to "block" them to expand much more on the "not interested" option. Some people flat out aren't interested in certain things that fall under a general category. An example would be the Makers and Crafting page, I'm interested in some fiber arts, but more specifically I'm NOT interested in crocheting. Nothing against crochet, just that's not what I want to see on my front page and flooding it when I'm browsing. I should be able to have a list of certain key words, even if there is a limit to the number of words on the list, that I can put down "crochet" as something to not bother putting on my page. This recommendation would be in addition to what people are saying when they don't want specific channels on their home page. Those recommendations would allow some of us to spend more time on pages we ARE interested in (including finding new pages that reflect our interests) and therefore allow channel creators, as well as Twitch, to get more eyeballs actively looking at channels and making money. We would be spending less time fake banning or "not interested" marking pages (some of which keep showing up a LOT).

Please add the ability to block certain users or channels that you do not want to see, so that their content or stream does not show up any more as a picture of their stream when browsing streams. There are certain channels that I do not want to see, and I would like to be able to block them so I don't see them.
