2000 channels follows limit is too low
Hello, I follow a lot of people on Twitch, a lot of people have not started streaming yet, will probably do it soon or will not stream at all.
I find it impossible that the channel follow limit is 2000 follow.
Please increase the number to at least 10000 channel follows, so that I can follow more than 2000 channels & users.
Even on Youtube there is no channel following limit!
Please increase this, I have to delete users from my channel list all the time, which annoys me a lot.
I also find it very dubious for a streaming platform that there is such a limit at all.
At the moment I can't see which channel I'm following because it's no longer displayed in the browser since Twitch redesigned it.
2000 channels to follow are just too few, please fixt this problem.

2000 is especially too prohibitive for folks who have been on Twitch for a while (e.g., my account is over 10 years old & i have to try to find a channel to unfollow when i want to follow another)
at a minimum, a higher follow limit could be a twitch turbo perk

This was 2019 idea before COVID and the huge blowup since we need more follows already in 2019 now in 2024 this is not acceptable we need a raise and quick hhank you

2000 channels is way too low for a following limit. Ideally, you wouldn't have a limit at all, but it should at least be 10,000. How am I supposed to know when channels go online if I can't follow them? You're limiting your own growth & income by having such a low limit. We won't know when some people go live, so that brings down viewership & lowers income from subs & bits.
By having such a low channel follow limit, you're limiting & hurting Twitch itself.

This should be updated since follows are not only for channels you want to watch their streams but also for people you want to have whispers enabled with. Since whispers are now blocked by default (and I prefer to have them blocked)
The limit should be at least 10,000 (like on tiktok)

We all have our favourite Streamers to follow & i think this twitch limit is to low & how are us Twitch Streamers suppose to grow with such a low limit of 2000 followers ?

If anything I would like to be able to categorize the streamers I follow in seperate folders... so one folder for IRL streamers another for gamers and another for Bathtub/Poolgirls.. oops I didnt write that.
But just like a windows explorer folder, I'd like to arrange my followed streamers in categories in subcategories.

I follow a lot of people and would love to not have to worry about unfollowing people to follow anyone else

please this has been driving me nuts for years, an efficient way to unfollow inactive streamers at a minimum.. it's impossible to know who who is streaming.. also it limits who I am aware of, DJ Qbert streams.. one of the greatest scratch DJ's of all time.. I would love to see one of his sets.. but I don't have the follow to spare, not one follow...

I would like to add something to this, if I try to manually unfollow some old channels, first I have to scroll down for TWO HOURS (ridiculous) to get to the bottom and start cleaning up. Then if my browser somehow refreshes that's ANOTHER TWO HOURS to get to the bottom of the list. Either increase the max follows, or add an unfollow tab where you can click boxes next to your follows, and unfollow multiple channels at once. (And make it so that they all load at once) We are your users, you are supposed to make this platform easy to use and user-friendly, well it's not.

Yes this is ridiculous. PLUS the process you have to go through to unfollow people is also ridiculous, you have to scroll through ALL 2000 people and start at the bottom, and if your page happens to close/refresh, you are OUT OF LUCK and have to start over. Please increase the limit.

As others have said (see Meadow's comment for an excellent summary) the follower limit is too low. Increasing the follower count will help to build community on Twitch. Following serves a variety of purposes, all of them community-building in nature. As Dan Clancy has said, when streamers succeed, Twitch succeeds. Enabling and taking actions to support community building is critical to Twitch's success at community building, which in turn is critical to Twitch's ongoing success as a platform. People are on Twitch for the community. Lets help them reach that community with a much higher follower limit. Thank you!
