Let Stream Watchers Turn Off Alerts for Themselves
There should be a personal preference option for people watching streams to turn off alerts. Alerts can be quite annoying to some people who watch streams but otherwise enjoy the content they're watching. If people could have the option to turn the alerts off, not for everyone but for themselves, it would give them a better stream watching experience and overall would result in the stream watcher happier to watch the streams. Personally, as someone who enjoys watching livestreams, some alerts can cause me to become overwhelmed with the person who is talking, all of the sounds of the games I'm watching, and then the alert sound comes on and it overstimulates my brain. I think having the option to be able to turn off alerts from the watcher's side would also have a supportive outcome of being more inclusive for everyone. So each individual could either have the alerts on or off, whichever they prefer.
