The appropriate solution is to remove the limit, implement proper rate limiting if not already present, then display the number of people you follow next to the number that follow you. I believe the original intent was to penalize the 'follow for follow' type behavior, but most platforms correctly address this by displaying the difference publicly.

The interface for unfollowing is very slow, and there is no commander-root tool to unfollow; it is a significant barrier to interacting with the platform that on its surface appears to only affect a subset of viewers, but most users don't go back and unfollow people they don't actively watch. Over time, the number of people near that limit simply increases until it widely discourages participation.

It is not just too few; it is the wrong solution to any given problem. In general, a hard cap on anything is a sure sign that the fundamental design is flawed.

I would not mind having a large list of follows per followers, and few or no people who are active on twitch to that degree would mind themselves.

I don't see how a lack of limit would negatively impact the platform if that information is displayed to make it clear who is just following for the sake of attention on their content - but I'm open to novel insights on that front. Either there's a good reason, or it just is because its been that way.

Remove the limit, display the number of channels one follows publicly.

The cap should be raised to 5,000 or even 10,000... or better yet, removed entirely! Having to unfollow channels just to follow new ones is frustrating and makes it harder to support and help creators grow genuinely.

The limit should be at least 5000 or 10000 or just have no limits like on Youtube... I constantly have to unfollow some channels to follow new ones, it's frustrating and doesn't help to support and grow

Twitch, please increase the channel limit to 3000 or more. Since 2013, the number of new streamers has been steadily increasing. The old limit system is no longer working. Plus, device power has increased. There's no point in maintaining the old restrictions.

Ja das ist Definitiv zu wenig, ich muss andauernd Streamer raus löschen, damit ich anderen Folgen kann. Ist einfach zu wenig 5000 ?
Was auch nicht schlecht wäre ein Followerzähler für den Streamer

最近發現很有些台幾乎都 (暫停直播，突然沒在直播，有些原因沒法開直播)，
希望可以有離線天數排名系統，不然每次在整理的時後因為短期都要等時間過才能取消追隨

Dear Twitch Team,
The 2,000 follow limit is an artificial roadblock that directly punishes active users like me. Twitch thrives on community, discovery, and supporting diverse creators – this cap prevents exactly that. I want to actively explore, support, and follow, but your system holds me back. This limit works against the growth of small channels, hurts user engagement, and ultimately damages the platform. I urge you to re-evaluate or provide flexibility on this restriction – many loyal users are frustrated and feel ignored. Those who are deeply engaged with Twitch shouldn’t be punished for it – we should be empowered. Please show us you’re listening and take meaningful action.

I'm going to be ******* verbal about this... There's so much wrong with this ******** platform in so many ******** ways. And I literally don't give a flying **** what anyone thinks.

I literally got 2 accounts on kick that reached affiliate faster and with more coverage than this ******** platform known as twitch. Things need to change on this **** platform and fast. Literally 0 discoverablility other than obvious partners and "abassedor" ********. So, its a jackwadish pyramid scheme now. And that's how **** this is. Half these shitfucked ******** abessedor and pratnered shitfucks got there from the pandemic anyways. Idc, I ban all partners I see on the **** "wheel of scrolling". especially topics i find boring or stupidily 70iq

not only that, but the amount of categories you can follow is also very limited please fix

Hey

It would be great if this limit could be raised or removed altogether

I agree with this! I see no reason why this is the case! Twitch thrives on community and while not everyone can watch each other, a single follow can go a long way in helping someone achieve their goals! I want to be able support more people but I don't want to be so limited.

Maybe the follow cap should be limited per day as to not encourage spam if that's the concern?

The 2000 follow limit hasn't increased for over 10 years!

最近又上限想要提出意見:說真的只能追隨2000台現在真的很為難，想要幫助剛開台的新台主很不友善，說然現在系統會提示你該刪除一些台，但是必須要慢慢找，希望可以加大追隨台的數量，不然有些台主會覺得我常常退追隨又追隨(被警告)，可是我也很不想這樣做可是就只能追隨2000台，另外我是長期購買Twitch Turbo 會員， 希望可以給一些福利，訂閱數量當擴大追隨台的方法，就更訂閱台主一樣有徽章。

pls I'm so tired of having to manage my following list constantly in order to be able to follow new people

this needs to change, has been driving me nuts for years, I can't follow any one. there's no mechanism to find inactive accounts I follow, there's no way to even see what accounts I follow! I used to use a 3rd part site, but it was clunky and I just can't be bothered, so now if I find someone I really want to follow I just scroll to the bottom of my live list...

I don't think that adding it trough turbo is good, what if you stop the subscription? You get the streams unfollowed?

2000 Follows Cap should be removed for Twitch TURBO subscribers.

Ideally it would apply to everyone, but Twitch TURBO subscribers would be a great place to start if the bot accounts are a concern.

It's kinda funny that there are rules about simulcasting intended to prevent viewers from choosing other sites over Twitch, while this stupid follow limit is actually pushing me to watch on YouTube.

Because I'm at the follow limit, and because going through the list to figure who isn't streaming anymore is a pain, I've taken to following streamers through their YouTube channels, and using their simulcast (if they do it) to know when they're streaming on Twitch. For some, I ignore Twitch and watch their YouTube stream instead.

I'm starting to favor the latter approach because it's more convenient, and if there's a follow limit on YouTube I have yet to hit it.

More important to refine your nonsensical dress code for "sexual" attire that must be restricted to the pools/hot tubs/beaches tag , because you can't just let advertisers use the existing "mature" flag to avoid anything they might e offended by, than make your service work in a way that it doesn't inspire viewers to watch elsewhere.

2000 fans is too low. I need category. thx.
