Create a Secondary Site for Testing Features.
So, with new feature tests that happen on a regular basis, it can often interrupt the viewer & content creator experience. As of writing this, a perfect example would be changing where the title, name, viewers, game, followers, and more, to be at the top of the video player.
Oftentimes, people see this change, and they have an immediate "I like, or I don't" mindset. This does not help twitch much when determining whether or not the feature is worthwhile for the majority of viewers because the people that say "I don't" tend to be much louder.
I believe that instead of giving this test to a percent of random users on the platform, you should create a site like twitch beta or twitch nightly, where users can SIGN UP to test new features that may be coming soon. This is a system used by many different services including games like Sea Of Thieves (Called Insider), and many Extensions for twitch itself, like 7TV (Nightly).
This would give twitch their much needed CONSTRUCTIVE feedback regarding features, because users would join to ASSIST in the creation of new features on twitch. This is also an opportunity to reward those users with something like a badge, or even just the knowledge of learning what twitch has in mind for the future.
Thank you for your time, and I hope you consider adding this in the future.
