[Feature] Stories on Twitch
Stories on Twitch is a new feature in the Twitch mobile app that helps you stay connected with your community when you’re not live. Stories let you share photos, clips, or freeform content using text, custom channel emotes, and backgrounds that expire in 48 hours. Creating stories is currently limited to Partners & Affiliates who have had at least one stream in the last 30 days. Streamers with at least 30 subscribers (including gift subs) will also have the option to create sub-only stories. Learn more about stories and current eligibility requirements in our Help Article: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/stories. We'd love to learn what else you'd like to see so share with us your feedback.

You're literally just making the app hard to use and ******* off the users.
I have cancelled all of my subs because the app is so bad now that I just don't want to use it, so I just don't use twitch anymore.

Absolutely pointless, this is a livestreaming site, not tiktok

One of the worst updates ever.
I cant even click a profile now to see their content anymore without loading up their stupid stories.
If I wanted to watch short-form content, I'd go to tik tok or youtube.
I come to twitch to watch streams, browse clips, and watch vods that I missed, and I rarely do the last one.
This has become such an annoyance.
Why are you replacing NORMAL CORE FUNCTIONS with STORIES? You made it so confusing to just SEE a person live now.
Clicking on a profile picture SHOULD BRING YOU TO THEIR STREAM. NOT THEIR SHORT CONTENT!!!!
LIVE STREAMS SHOULD BE THE PRIORITY!

No one wants this, every comment is asking or just straight up telling you to get rid of this. Why are you guys so set on making your platform worse?
Not that I or anyone else dumb enough to complain to a company who will never give an answer, if the horrible reception to the un useable mobile app is anything to go by.
It really sucks that the only way to get rid of this guff is to unfollow anyone who is dumb enough to post a story on twitch.

Please get rid of stories, no one cares. There's no method to opt out from seeing this top of my following feed. I unfollowed two channels already as it's the only way to partially get rid of something no one wants. This will kill channels and twitch.

When are we getting an option to not see stories? its annoying and forced me to unfollow people i been watching for +7 years.

Please remove stories. I keep unfollowing streamers to get their stories off my page, and I'm going to run out of people to follow at this rate.

I cant post any stories due to a bug. Fix the bugs or remove the feature entirely. This isn't instagram

Attaching a streamers Story to their avatar when on their page removes the functionality of using that to navigate to their clips and past broadcast. To put that plainly, that's ******* AWFUL. Fire whoever came up with that idea.

I'd love to see this feature removed with extreme prejudice. I already block this on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram... why would i want it on Twitch?

I literally couldn't care less about stories. If you are CONVINCED you need to keep them, at least make it an option to disable having to see them for those of us who just see them as noise.

The story feature is garbage, and utterly pointless. Twitch is a streaming platform, not a social network. Get rid of it. Or at least be decent human beings, and give people the option to disable seeing them on their account.

Don't want to see the stories pinned at the top of my navigation bar. A possibility to hide all stories (shown or not) would be great. Also can't see any value in this feature so disabling the whole feature also wouldn't be a loss.

STORIES IS ****

There is a bug that does not allow me to post a story any updates.

First it was Snapchat, then came Meta with Instagram/Facebook "Stories", then YouTube was like, "hey I don't want to be left out" and **** its "Shorts" into existence. It seems like the product team at Twitch has finally succumb to brain rot.
Stories are pointless. They take up space in the drawer. We don't have the ability as consumers to say, "no thanks". Its frustrating enough to manually seek out this thread and go through the hassle of typing this into the void.
Keep the social media features off the streaming website, please. Stay in your lane.

Been an active user on this site since the JustinTV days. For now I will be unfollowing all streamers who post stories, as that's the only way to get rid of the annoying as f**k link on the left bar. If I start seeing them elsewhere, I will be cancelling my account entirely.
MY ATTENTION SPAN IS LONGER THAN 60 SECONDS. IF I WANT TO WATCH SHORT CLIPS FROM STREAMERS I FOLLOW, I CAN ALREADY DO SO ON ANY OF DOZENS OF OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA SITES.
