Change the URLs of clips to include the channel
Currently the format for URLs of clips are as following:
https://clips.twitch.tv/WordWordWordWordWord-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
This doesn't show which channel the clip is on, and it causes issues when you want to filter URLs on your stream.
I want to filter URLs, except URLs to my content. That is currently not possible for Twitch-clips.
I suggest a new format of the following:
https://clips.twitch.tv/Username/...
This way I could allow all links that are "twitch.tv/ponponthebonbon" and reject all other links.
And if this change would be applied, I would also not mind it if the five words were removed. They make links long and unwieldy and they serve no purpose. You need both the 5 words and the 16 random characters to make the link work, so having memorable words doesn't help much. Links would be cleaner by just not having them, or replacing them with 5 more random characters.

If the five words are meant to help you remember the clips by, it's so much better to just include the title as an optional inclusion instead.
https://clips.twitch.tv/Username/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-title_goes_here
Would be a much better format in this case.
If the five words are to make it more unique. So does random characters, but random characters are more compact, making the links appear shorter.
