Yes, I'm aware: per the recycling policy on the website, "Once you have changed your name, the abandoned usernames will be held by Twitch for a minimum of 6 months"

But they're clearly not being recycled. I've been waiting on an old name since the policy was announced, and it had already been changed for at least a year when it was. I had changed it as part of an effort to rebrand some aspects of creation, which has changed directions since then.

Six months is absolutely a reasonable amount of time, but these names are clearly not being recycled. If you're not going to recycle them in a timely manner, please allow us some manner to request old names if available rather than telling us you can't help and we just have to wait when asked.

Right now people can create several accounts with just a new e-mail address (or delete an old account and create a new one). People that are harassing streamers usually does this, and it's unacceptable.

Twitch needs to do something about this, because it's gone too far. Bind accounts with a mobile number and let the owner change his/her name Once, because the name we chose 2 years ago might not be suitable today.

When a user register a new account on Twitch, they need to verify their identity with their phone number (for example sending a code via SMS that they need to enter to verify). And of course people can't just delete their account and create another one with the same number, it's locked to that specific username.

This will drastically reduce the harassment and bullying on Twitch.

First noticed that live video was not loading, so I logged out.
Main page of Twitch still didn't have live video, AND the log in button displayed a blank page. Channels at the bottom were displayed, but not clickable.

I went to Twitter to submit console error text, but still having the same issue. I thought I might be banned, so I came back to email through twitch.tv, when I noticed a different login button next to the required username box. I successfully logged in.

The new main page loaded, but live video is still dead.
Going to some channels, the chat box is active, but live video is dead.

<console> Failed to send stats update on NullEmbedHost
<console> Cannot load https://api.twitch.tv/api/viewer/token.json
Errors 401, 403, and 404 have been found, along with uncaught exceptions in <promise> Objects.

It'd be nice to continue participating with the community, but that's up to you guys, since Twitch is the only place I'm having errors at the moment.

Your check on the bot in case of login the worst that came across to me.
The sign of the avtomobilyy company occupying all picture is a sign of shop or the photo of a piece of the machine? An advertizing banner - a sign of shop? The picture with an earth road and a piece of a slope belongs to mountains? On the picture some water occupying almost all space is represented is a pool, the sea, the river?
It is not check on the robot, and attempt to guess a mentality of the creator of this test whose qualification, in my opinion, leaves much to be desired.

I would love to be able to have the option for Google Authentication to be integrated into your current 2-Factor Authentication system. Hypothetically, if I were to misplace or brake my phone, it would take some time for me to be able get a new device in which time I would not be able to reenter my Twitch account. I mod for channels, work with creators and would feel awful if I was not able to continue supporting and working for them as I do.

It was also just be an ease of access thing, where I have all of my current 2F Authentication already with Google Authentication, so as this isn't necessarily an essential facet to this system, it would be a nice addition to this system.
