I've often found it to be a bit of an annoyance when I have a custom badge (the one that overrides your global badge) set in a channel and then I take some action such as cheering bits of gifting a sub and my custom badge automatically gets updated and then I have to go change it back to what I want it to stay as. I understand the feature in and of itself is nice to have and in many cases I may want the automatic updated badge, but I would like to have an option (ideally on a channel by channel basis) to toggle my custom channel badge to NOT be overridden unless I manually change it.

Now that Hype Train's are UnCapped and a history of the Highest attainted level for the chat is shown; that information has to scale based on the difficulty level of he channel.

For example, Level 16 on lowest difficulty = Level 5 on highest difficulty, but, If I were to say have AutoPilot on and did 5 Hype Trains, my difficulty level could very volitile going one time then down the next. But, the lowest difficulty "level" would be shown as the highest all-time record level even though more subs/bits/cheers could've been used on a higher difficulty level.

So, I would propose going off $ spent. $1 = 1 Hype Train Score Point

Then Lvl 16 on lowest difficulty would = 225 points = Level 5 on Highest Difficulty

Points are basically the number you show for the $Cheers amounts

In this transition, you should also make sure that
That each of the Hype Train levels match their counterparts
So Lowest difficulty Level 1 + 2 + 3 + 4......16 = Total dollars spent
Matches Highest Difficult Level 1 + 2.....5 = In total dollars spent

This only makes things fair. Or, get rid of difficulty levels all together since they are uncapped anyway and there are no real rewards for choosing a higher difficulty anyway.

In the Creator Dashboard create a setting that allows the incoming Raid chat accouchement to be Broadcaster/Mod View only, or auto replaced by a /Shoutout prompt.

If you are a Broadcaster, who has no Raid limits set (because that choice is anti-Discoverability for a growing channel) then there should be other safeguard options in place to help with 1-10 viewer Raids which may entirely be coming from Offline channels.

So, to help with excessive chat spam and keep chat focused on it own conversation flow, there should be an option to mark Twitch genenerated chat messages as Broadcaster/Mod view only. Goal = Cleanup & streamline normal viewer chat

I would like to report some issues I've been having and a few others have experienced lately.
-I can't create clips and highlights of other's streams or my own
-I can't edit my user settings
-I can't redeem channel points and actions (not related to gambling)
-I can't follow or unfollow other creators.

This has been very annoying and started 3 days ago for me. The only explanation Twitch provided was something about trying to remove gambling through channel points, but it doesn't make sense how I can't do anything on this platform. I'm a small creator and it really makes things harder for me. This also makes it harder for me to support other creators.

Ever since twitch decided to change their support system, there's no way to report errors and bugs.

Instead of phasing out Bits with “Cheer Coin” and rendering existing integration useless, create a Tip/Dono page that forwards to PayPal with chargeback protection.

This way a new way of supporting a creator can be integrated and enhance the user experience, as less clicks through third-party sites mean more tips generated and the proposed revenue split for “Cheer Coin” can be integrated, as well as a visual representation for a Tip/Donation goal that counts towards Boost Trains.

This would make Twitch Tips as the preferred method for PayPal transactions while protecting the streamers from negative balances, that “Cheer Coin” could cause, at no extra inconvenience for the API or user experience.

This idea of deprecating the Host and Auto-Host feature coming this October 3rd is quite ridiculous, and WHO even asked for this? Being able to Host and be Auto-Hosted by others has been a huge staple of supporting and growing channels. At least that WAS the case when Auto-Host ACTUALLY worked but you killed that off early 2019 and around the time of the Twitch database hack, and everybody just put down to just manual hosting channels as a way of supporting channels they like and want to see grow.

You're killing off a useful support feature for channels all to replace it with something called "Suggested Channels" now? A lesser feature version of Autohost, except Autohost never worked properly and stopped working as mentioned before in early 2019.

Hosts and Autohosts has been a hugely useful and widely used feature since 2014, but now you want to remove it because in your words;

"We made the decision to deprecate this feature because the experience it delivers to viewers doesn’t match their expectations when they come to Twitch. Viewers want to interact with a streamer when they’re live and host mode blocks this from happening. Preventing viewers from interacting with the streamer they’re watching also limits a streamer’s growth potential because they’re not able to build meaningful connections with those new viewers."

What do you ever mean by "doesn't match their expectations" ? Are you trying to assume what people like and don't like? or do you mean to imply that when a channel that is currently LIVE is being hosted by another channel that the viewer is missing out somehow? Which would be quite ridiculous and weak reason if that's your reasoning, and second it's really not that hard to click on the channel name that's shown as being currently hosted to go TO that channel that is currently live to become a viewer of said channel. It's as simple as clicking on it, there's no 2 step-process, since it takes you straight to the channel without interruptions. -- IF anything showing that the channel is currently being hosted on the channel COULD have been made better by making it more obvious that the channel shown currently live is being hosted, thats probably the main problem is that it doesn't always make it obvious unless you look down at the channel icon and channel name text at the bottom of the video player. Wouldn't be that hard to show a bounding box around the videoplayer with a tag overlay saying "Channel is currently hosting: <channel_name>" and a button on that tag overlay where you can just click to go to straight to the channel.

To follow up further on this you mention on how to support streamers you go on to say the following;

"Give them a shoutout to help them gain more followers*. Use the chat command “/shoutout [channel]” to share a follow button in chat so that your viewers can follow them without leaving your stream. If the streamer has a stream schedule set up on their channel, the shoutout will also highlight their next scheduled stream with a button to set a reminder to watch."

As if hosting said channel wasn't enough? This excuse is just laughable at best, what did you think Hosts and Autohosts did before you decided to kill it off? They WERE the best way to support a channel, but to have people go back to their channel page just to issue a "/shoutout [channel]" command seems to be counterintuitive to what "/host [channel]" already provided. Also by the fact that most if not all people who actively use Twitch use browser plugins such as FrankerFaceZ which can add a [Host] button ON the channels the viewer is currently on to host them at a click of a button. A lot of people are grateful for plugins like FFZ for existing because it UNDOs all of your poor decisions for the site, and adds enhancements which doesn't exist by default, as well as enabling old features that was either removed completely or changed for the worse, like when you removed the colored text when people did "/me [message]" command, which yet once again something nobody ever asked to be changed or caused an inconvenience for anyone, pretty sure in fact nobody ever complained about it, just like how nobody ever complained about Hosts and Autohosts, except for the fact you deliberately disabled Autohosts early 2019, people complained a lot and you didn't listen.

This is a really simple idea, but I found myself looking for a feature like this multiple times now. The idea is to give streamers an option to link their collab streamer collogues twitch profiles, so the viewers have it easier to find their accounts. The way many streamers are doing it now is with bots (you type a specific command and get the link to the collab partners profiles) but I find that to be a bit confusing sometimes as the available commands are often not listed clearly and a unified way would be much simpler for the user. You could just put some links directly under the stream player where every profile is listed.

There was a notice put out about hosts becoming deprecated next month.
This is an awful idea. Do not do this.
The reason given for doing it is clear and obvious deflection; it's false. No one with average viewership under like 6000 uses twitch chats as a community server; when someone is offline, that's it. Their attention is off the chat and elsewhere. The idea that hosts prevent interactions with streamers is complete bull.
Moreover, raids are not a direct replacement for hosts (most people don't even -know- this because this fact has been so thoroughly obfuscated,) because of the referral ID causing a viewer to not count to the raided channel for ad or partnership metrics. Hosting was an incredibly useful -community building tool- on twitch; you host into another channel, that user notes you down, they host into you and share their audience in a way that actually contributes useful numbers beyond "was a viewer". Raiding does not do this. Raiding is an anti-growth tool. Viewers might follow and check someone out again following a raid, but many are there primarily just because a streamer raided them over and have no interest in staying; hosts, because they required active interaction with the hosted channel were more likely to stay because it tested viewer interest.
Hosting was and still is an invaluable community tool. To remove it and not provide its actual functionality to raids is extremely anti-user.
