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.

Many streamers have a feature where if you donate a certain amount of currency, whether that be bits or the local currency the streamer has setup on their streaming provider, your message will come up on stream and get read aloud by a voice that the streamer can customize. Because there is generally a minimum amount to get this text-to-speech feature (TTS), and it is a big moneymaker for some people, I don't know how many people would use this feature, but I think it would be a good idea to allow channel points to pay for TTS messages. I know of one or two streamers, in particular, that would benefit from this because they use TTS messages to make streams more fun and create content. People now make memes all the time using the feature, it is very entertaining. Unfortunately, I think that there are so many people that would be really good at crafting excellent messages, but they are unable to afford to donate so their messages are never heard. This would be a great outlet for them, and one that I think is realistic. Although it may take some work because Twitch would need to work with the streaming providers on this, it's something that is absolutely possible and should be investigated.

I'm all for working hard. There is a sense of absolute pride when you finally succeed after a very long time of hard work and finally hitting the finish line. And my finish line is being able to become affiliate!

But the "Average of 3 viewers" is very bothersome, as well for a few others I have talked to.

I can never tell what it's doing. One minute is almost at .80/3, next thing I know I'm almost back at the beginning. I've got 3 people who automatically host me, I've had random hosts as well, I've had raids before, and yet no matter what I do It never seems to go up. I'm sorry, but it's frustrating.

Everything else is plan and simple and to the point. I know what I have to do, I work on completing it, and that part is always done. This 'Average of 3 viewers' out of EVERYTHING is just absolutely confusing.

So my suggestion is either;
- Change it to make it less confusing. And easier to understand.
- Remove it and perhaps replace it with something else to be able to gain affiliate.
- Or Upgrade it; make it better and worth working for.
