Recently I became affiliate. This unlocks "stories" which is a copied "feature" from other social medias. Nobody likes stories. Yet you twitch, YOU have forced me to post stories.
"You can disable automatic stories upload by deselecting the "feature clips" checkbox."

So the thing I like to use, featured clips, to show off cool moments, is now being forcibly hijacked into this social media trend people markedly hate. There are multiple browser extensions just to remove stories from our audience's interface. You are now forcing me to manually feature each clip, or delete every story you decide needs to get uploaded simply by featuring a clip.

I say I MUST delete stories because of the evidence of commentors on the stories feature within this uservoice forum.

:when streamers raid into people that use stories and when you go to refresh the stream get kicked into their story instead of refreshing their actual stream.

:Agreed, my solution is to unfollow any channels that post stories. I don't care about stories and don't want additional clutter on the left navigation.

: I Just use AdBlock, you can disable elements with it.
I was able to DELETE that annoying stories banners on the left and on the big follow page.
Not really smart to not have the option to show it or not.

Stories are an ACTIVE HINDRANCE to growing twitch channels. Furthermore, I cannot remove stories from my desktop computer. You have forced me to use the mobile app to delete the stories that automatically fill into my feed when I feature a clip. I personally cannot intentionally block a story upload, and my audience cannot intentionally avoid seeing them through normal usage of the twitch website.
It's as if you want us to use this feature so badly, you've hard coded it to be as annoying as possible to remove.

FIX THIS. Your investors know nothing about live streaming.
