As a previous user and streamer of Mixer there was a easy option to click someones name which provided a drop down menu to select follow on the user. Speaking to a few mixer streamers who have since moved to twitch from there they are finding it difficult to follow new people. The only way we can follow someone is by clicking their name and then dragging it to a new tab in a browser and then waiting for that persons channel to load for us to follow. Maybe imperilment a follow button next to the whisper, add friend and gift sub. I was thinking of maybe a heart in the space left next to the gift sub button similar to what you have when you visit someones channel just the heart and no wording.

Making highlights effortless.

-A streamer has an epic gamer moment.
-Lots of viewers clip that section during the stream.
-Twitch automatically creates a 30 second highlight of that section of the stream based on how many people clipped it.
-The streamer can set the threshold of clips to create a highlight (Eg:minimum 20 clips within 10 seconds to create a highlight) or disable it completely.
-highlight shows up on the streamer’s channel page.
-The streamer can go back and edit the highlight to be longer or shorter depending on what they want to show in the highlight. They can also remove it.
-To prevent abusing clips and highlighting the entire stream, the streamer can put a cooldown timer on how often viewers can clip their stream per viewer. (Eg viewer makes a clip, has to wait 10 minutes until they can clip again)

Highlight section on the front page of twitch.

-Have a section on the front page of twitch for popular / following / recommended highlights parallel to the live channels / categories section.
-Popularity of highlight is based on how many people clipped that section of the stream / how many views it gets over time.
-Treat it similar to the trending tab on youtube or hot on reddit.
-Also have a section for highlights from streamers you follow (like the sub box on youtube) and for recommended highlights.
-“Clips we think you’ll like” section would become the recommended highlights section.
-Be able to sort highlights like reddit posts (Eg: sort by hot / top of hour, day, week, new, ect.)

Saving clips overhaul.

-Viewer makes a clip.
-Clip gets saved to their channel under “my clips” section.
-Make it front and center.
-Current clip system is kinda bad because you have to go digging through your creator dashboard to find clips.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Right now when you are one of the first 10 subscribers to a channel you get a "Founder" badge. This badge is purple and has "1st" written in it. However as subscription tiers vary, so should the founder tag. For both the streamer and twitch, it is better that people don't lose motivation to have tier 2 and 3 subscriptions by having same tag as they could have for the $5 tier 1. Most don't ask for more than a simple badge, so why not change thee colors depending on tier? An example:
Golden 1st badge for tier 3 founders, silver for tier 2 and bronze for tier 3?

I think it would be super rad if there were an option to flag your stream as NSFW which would require people to have a Twitch account (aged 18+) to view your stream, so that you can speak a bit more freely, more relaxed, and you can potentially try to cater to a more mature audience for people that don't want to have kids watching their stream.

Even better, a toggle to tag your whole account as NSFW so that you only interact with adults.

*Edit: This would allow people to play games that have nudity as well, broadening the scope of potential content that can be created.

Similar to the Watch Party. This way Streamers could share music with some of the viewers (prime members) without this whole DMCA problem because only viewers who have access to the songs anyway can listen to them.

The only issue would be how you would handle that the streamer hears the music too, without making it audible for nonprime members. But this way people would still have to pay somewhere to listen to the music to give the artists credit and at the same time it would improve the quality of streams. In my opinion, this would even help musicians get more popular because I personally learned about many artists because Streamers introduced them to me.

The point multipliers have recently changed so that it is fairer that if you are paying for a higher tier sub, you receive a higher multiplier. Unfortunately, as opposed to increasing the multiplier for higher-tiered, lower tiers had their multipliers drastically lowered to the point of not really being that different from a non-subscriber. Idk how it may look from the pov of Twitch Staff, but from a user, getting 12 points for passive watch time and 60 points for an active watch time bonus while a non-subscriber gets 10 and 50 points respectively just doesn't seem that fair. When the higher-tiered subs came out, it was initially designed for users who wanted to support streamers at a higher level (and as such a higher percentage of the subscription price would go to the streamer), but it has since been made fairer so that they actually are getting more for their money's worth, which was not the original intention of the higher tiers, but I understand it. Support your streamer more and get more from it at the same time.

I understand why it's plausible to give higher-tiered subs a higher point multiplier but I can't fathom why Twitch would need to take away from regular tier-1 subs in the process. As a subscriber, we are quite literally paying infinitely more than someone who isn't subscribed at all (unless they were gifted). While it makes sense for a higher-tiered sub to have a higher multiplier, it doesn't make sense for the multiplier of a subscriber (formerly 2x, now 1.2x) to be almost identical to someone who isn't subscribed at all (1x). The difference is negligible, and because of that, I'm humbly requesting that the tier-1 multiplier be restored to 2x and if Twitch wants to, they can make a higher multiplier for higher-tiered subs.

Prior to channel points being a Twitch feature, many streamers decided to use their streaming provider to create a point system and create another source of entertainment on streams. I know that with Streamlabs points you can gamble your points which provides yet another way to entertain yourself on stream. In some streams you could actually type !gamble in chat and streamelements would then reply with a successful or failed gamble doubling or claiming the point amount you gambled, but this may not be viable because it could really clog up chat. I do wish however that there were some gambling games that streamers could enable that would allow us to gamble our points balance. With streamlabs points also, we got points for every gift sub and for a certain amount donated in bits. I like that we now receive points for a monthly donation of bits and gift subs, but it's a lot harder to get points because these are only once a month things and we cannot get more points regardless of how much we donate. It also doesn't help that the multiplier was recently reduced to almost nothing for tier-1 subs.
