The list of followed channels is unusable for me in this way.
It lacks the clarity of the old list (see also the Twitch.tv website). By old list I mean the list where only the stream name, its category and its current number of viewers are displayed (as on the website).
What bothers me about the new view is the significantly slower speed, because the images take longer to load and I'm not interested in the tags and the current stream title at this point. I find this wealth of information unnecessarily inflates the list and also generates an unnecessary amount of additional data volume.
I would have liked more information from the developers in the Google Play Store, because after all, what is the point of the ‘New functions’ section?
I don't think it's good that the developers are forcing users to do something that they might not even want (the motto ‘Arbeit macht Frei’ (work makes you free) has only meant negative things in the past). In my opinion, app developers do not consider their users to be responsible fellow human beings and restrict their free choice with such updates.
I would have much preferred to have been asked whether I wanted the list in short form or in detailed form. Why don't the developers leave it up to the users to decide which view they want to use?
Another problem is that you can't undo such unwanted updates via the Google Play Store (analogous to a murder - if you're dead, you're dead, well, the dead man was unlucky).
There are even general moments when I ask myself whether it still makes sense to use the Twitch Android app on a mobile phone or simply use the web browser with the Twitch website. How can you trust developers who usually only attract attention through negative changes?
Unfortunately, I have now reached the point where I no longer allow automatic updates to be installed so that I can decide for myself as an intelligent person whether I have to go along with every change.

For the Android app, I would like the user to have the choice of what the list should look like. From my point of view, the reintroduction of the button from before with the short list of links that appears would be sufficient. The new view can then remain. This would give the user the choice of which list to use.
It does make a difference if I only see 5 entries on my display when there were previously around 20.
Especially for Nadroid users with many followed channels, the new view is clearly a disadvantage compared to web browser users.
This is my opinion and suggestion, I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
