Do you know that feeling as a Streamer when u want to chill and relax and just want to watch some TV series with your viewers? But you can't, because it's against the twitch rules?

So some time ago Twitch and Amazon Prime got so much intertwined, that it would be possible to do exactly thesw chill-series-streams some streamers want.

The TV-series streams would be only visible for prime users and when a streamer switchs to this kind of stream, the non-prime users will get a screen where it says, that they can't watch the stream and need to purchase twitch prime (So THAT would be nice for Twitch too).

I would looove to see this feature in the furure, because there is nothing better than watching series together with friends/viewers/other ppl.

Charity streams and fundraisers in which viewers are induced to Subscribe to a channel, or send a lump-sum payment directly to a Broadcaster's PayPal, unnecessarily expose streamers to liability and viewers to fraud. This practice is for the most part largely unregulated on Twitch. If Twitch is not going to moderate this practice, then I implore them to create alternative, legitimate tools for Broadcasters who wish to raise money for charity.

My suggestion is to introduce a "Charity" button similar to the "Subscribe" button, with all money going directly to a designated registered charity. This could be a page hosted on Twitch similar to the Subscription page, or a direct link to an official DonorDrive page for the registered charity. Ideally, it would be possible for this process to hook into the Twitch API in some way, so that streaming tools could be written that track viewer contributions in the same way that they already do for Subscriptions.

There are many reasons why such a tool would be of benefit to Twitch, its community and charities. I feel that it would also quash potential fraud and further legitimize Twitch as a platform for charitable causes in gaming.

I posted this suggestion on the r/Twitch and you can read some of the existing feedback here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/4e12i4

My suggestion is to create an "Active Followers" statistic which tracks the number of followers who have re-visited a channel in the past 30 days that can be understood as a single number and discussed as the more important number, for example "The channel you are watching has 1000 followers, 200 of them active".

Currently: the bare count of a channel's followers provided is not as helpful as it could be.... does not help communicate to streamers and their viewers how well channel is doing with building and maintaining a community, as the bare Follower count includes people who followed but then never really come back.

Alternatively... Have the followers list include for each follower a "Date last watched" datapoint and show several activity statistics such as "Followers Active in the past 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, 60 days, etc" Or a "Follower activity chart" people can use to help understand the size of a channel's loyal following.
