How can we improve the developer experience on Twitch?

Developers: Drops

Categories

Drops (BETA) - Block Creators from Participating

In a recent campaign in the old system, we ran it via "All Category" can participate. This caused us to end up having multiple streamers who were just "Drop streamers" participate even though they were not playing our game, they had simply set it as their category.

The idea for this function is to allow us to select creators to be unable to Stream. If we catch streamers mid-stream not playing our game while granting rewards, we would like to also remove them from the drop list as well.

With the new limitations in being able to run simultaneous campaigns, we believe this is a MUST feature to have.

    As an avid drop collector, I absolutely agree with this limitation idea.
    Streamers should be using the correct category (game) for the game they are playing.

    A report option should be added that can be used to flag these accounts.

    I also stream, but personally do my best to be honest in the tags and category selections. It just feels wrong to choose a category (game) that has drops activated to gain extra viewers.

    Going to add another response to this. In a recent campaign we were running almost all of the Streamers we had within the campaign during quiet periods were 24/7 drop streamers who were not streaming our game or were AFK. This was upsetting for our partnered content creators who are also part of our program as we don't allow them to do those types of Streams to generate views as its not beneficial for game promotion.

    We really need this feature, or better sanctions for streamers who abuse 24/7 drop streams.

    @KAKELEMMORPG: For long lists of channels, I have a tip for you, if you need more explanation you can contact me through discord (I go by the name "mute").

    - Create a excel or google sheet
    - List all of the channels (for example https://twitch.tv/kakelemmorpg" in column A
    - Put "," (just the , on its own) in column B for all listings (so if you have 150 channels in column A, you need 150 "," in column B.
    - Press CTRL + F and "Find" the URL https://twitch.tv/
    - Replace it on the sheet with nothing, make sure you haven't included the channel name in this part. Save it.
    - Copy both cells in full then paste it.

    This saved me so much time adding 100+ people to a recent campaign. I hope it helps :)

    We also need this. I was surprised to find that there is no way to block channels from the campaign. And allow listing many channels for every single campaign is impossible if you have many channels. Please consider this, thank you!

    We desperately need this feature. Channels that specialize in stealing drops work 24/7 and no matter how many times you report them, no action is taken against them for re-runs. The problem is that the existence of these channels is disenfranchising for the average creator, and it's not right for developers and publishers who want to drive viewership growth.
