Hi Twitch,

I'm TheDementedRaven & back in April I started a campaign for your company to acknowledge Autistic streamers as it was Autism Awareness month. I launched a successful campaign on Twitter, featuring various sizes of streamers and Autistc's alike to spread the word far and wide. I started this campaign because these events are often met with silence with companies such as yourselves, & we're left without the recognition and awareness that we deserve.

Sadly, I didn't get a response from yourselves.

So I ask, if you are going to acknowledge myself & others with disabilities this month, because it's known for large companies to become instantly ableist when our events occur & it is no coincidence. You have MANY Disabled streamers and to ignore a LARGE part of your userbase, is never the wisest choice, especially how it's always people with disabilities who never get acknowledged with such amazing events.

So once again, I ask if you will be giving Disabled Streamers recognition this month for #DisabilityPrideMonth? Because we're proud of being us, no matter how many companies ignore & close us out.

Is Twitch any different?

Thank you for your time.

TDR.

Hey Twitch,

The current Twitch IFTTT service is a great start. However, I'd like to see more event triggers for streamers. In specific:
- If new subscriber on my channel (with variations for sub gift bundles)
- If resub on my channel (with variations matching Twitch badges 1/3/6/12/etc)
- If new host to my channel
- If new raid to my channel
- If cheer amount (with variation options)
- If Tip/Donation (with variation options)

Reason for request: Those of us who have Nanoleaf, Phillips Hue, or smart lights could utilize those event triggers to create some very cool lighting effects for things that happen during the stream. Would help make streams more interactive with viewers.

Side note: The current "If follower on my channel" event trigger takes anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes to happen with my Nanoleaf lights. Is there anyway this can be faster? Even a consistent 10 second delay would be acceptable. Having the lights turn purple 2 mins after a follow is a bit confusing right now though.

Thanks!

For 'Starring' - if the issue is verification, maybe have the other parties confirm before they are published as part of the event, and additionally allow them to control being able to remove themselves from a particular event if situations change. And an option, similar to who can whisper you, could be an option of who can send you a request to be added to an event (in case it gets spammed).

For 'Streaming' - purely because some events include multiple games (ie. 24 hour stream, etc.), but you are only able to select one. Additionally, the option to reorder the games you select would be helpful (to align with the order you intend to play on stream).

When you do contests, make sure to promote them often in your own public communication channels.

Example is the ongoing twitch animation contest. The only public mention of it from Twitch has been a single blog post when it started. Most participants only heard of it via word of mouth. The purpose of contests like this is presumably to get attention to the creative section on twitch and attract more broadcasters and viewers. Then you should mention it on your blog and twitter accounts, make some press announcements, and regularly feature online streams of the participants as they're working on their entries. None of these measures would cost you anything.

Contests like these are good, and highly appreciated by artists. If the Twitch animation contest had been promoted more broadly it would have had many times the amount of participants and viewership it gathered, and twitch would have gotten far more value for their money.

Hello Twitch,

I'd love to request the opportunity for Twitch to explore the creation of a "Cancer Awareness Month" similar to Twitch's other monthly movements such as Black History Month and Women's History Month and highlights the importance of cancer awareness and prevention through resources and donations.

As a cancer survivor, cancer has become an extremely common disease that likely affects a huge population of Twitch's userbase. Creating a month of awareness would be a huge opportunity to showcase huge amounts of creators and their families who are currently experiencing or battling cancer or overcome cancer, an opportunity to provide cancer-focused resources and support, as well as creating charitable fundraising opportunities for different cancer-focused charity organizations such as St Jude and the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

Thank you for your time.
