(thinking…)

Keep the Reruns Feature Going!

There are currently whispers that Twitch is planning to remove the rerun feature. I can provide a reasonable case why this feature should remain. I'm sure there are many communities who utilise this feature to come together and watch broadcasts outside of their time-zone, and have seen as much from twitter. I, and many others, view reruns for a different reason. We're a part of Reckful's community, many in our community only interact in chat during the reruns his Editors put on for us from time to time.

Not only do these reruns facilitate us to remember and celebrate the life of Byron, they also help us stay together as a grieving community and look out for one another. I can't tell you how many late night chats I've had, helping, sharing moments, and laughing with other chatters in Reckful's community during Reruns. I've even gotten to meet a few IRL.

I firmly believe getting rid of this feature kills our community, and forgets about one of the most important streamers the platform has had. Even as I write this, I'm watching and chatting in a Rerun of an old Hearthstone VOD.
Please keep Reruns alive!

    Byron did so much for twitch, this is just a small thing in comparison for preserving his memory <3
  • ydyote commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    The provided reasons by you - twitch are kinda weird,
    but I would want to see some compromise, a lot of streamers can just "stream VODS with the checkbox" but byron cannot.
    so you should figure out something, because ton of people go through his stream even now

    I feel like you want to cut down costs, I get it but the community would like to see a reasonable solution - how to get this functionality for byrons channel (+ maybe some others in the future)

    watching VODS is not the same, it has to be realtime twitch chat with synced video and indication in the follow list - can still be at the end of the list, thats fine

    Please don't remove rerun feature.. :( So many of us are enjoying this feature through keeping Reckfuls memory alive and going. This is one of those times where you should let your heart speak and not your mind.

    Reckful's reruns have been the one thing keeping his community together on twitch, I wholeheartedly agree with AsrtoriasRex and hope the Rerun feature is going to stay

    Removing this feature will do so much more harm than good. Please, Twitch, let us keep the community that has formed through Reckful's rerun VODs alive. Obviously it's not one of the most used features of the site, but it's really important to a lot of us.

    please keep reruns around. and let reckful’s community help eachother. only yesterday someone in chat said he wanted to kill himself. we all talked and listened to the person. made him understand he shouldnt. sometimes people just want to be heard. please keep reruns alive

    #KeepRerunsAlive This feature is crucial for the continued existence of many Twitch communities. Removing it would be harmful to so many people that depend on it to remain connected to their community.

    Reckful had a significant impact on Twitch's success. He pioneered the way viewers and streamers interacted.

    He deserves his VODs to be rerun as long as Twitch exists. Do the right thing.
  • LUFKCER_ commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Reckful’s reruns are the main reason that his community can get together and reminisce over byron and how much his streams helped a lot of us. Please don’t get rid of them <3
