display Name Feature Needs an Update or Removal
The display name system on Twitch feels outdated and confusing. Right now, it only allows capitalization changes, which doesn’t offer any real customization. For most users, this option just causes frustration — it looks like you should be able to change your name, but you can’t actually modify anything besides letter case.
If the feature exists only for capitalization, it might make more sense to either:
Integrate capitalization control directly into the username settings, or
Expand the display name feature to allow full customization (like how other platforms handle “display names” separately from usernames).
In short: the current implementation serves little purpose and could be improved or streamlined for clarity and usefulness.
