(thinking…)

fix markdown on the mobile site

There's already a previous request for this but it appears close as "not clear." so I'll try to make it clearer:

In chrome on desktop, compare:

https://m.twitch.tv/adjstreams/about

with

https://twitch.tv/adjstreams/about

Mobile browsers default to the top URL, so they suffer broken "about" pages. It's simply not applying any rendering of markdown at all, or rendering non-breaking space HTML entities either.

    This is STILL a huge problem. I want to be able to credit people I have purchased pieces of my overlay for and it looks good other than on web browsers on phones... so I have had to majorly cut down on what I promote and it ticks me off.

    This needs to be fixed asap. Anyone I am primarily directing to Twitch comes from other social media platforms (friends, family, Instagram) and they do not have Twitch as an app yet. This defaults opening Twitch in a mobile browser.

    When they click on my Twitch links it takes them to this ****** mobile browser version, which then shows blocky unformatted paragraphs in the About section. Why would these people want to download Twitch if this is how the site looks?

    It's a huge deterrent for people to download and use the app when the mobile browser version isn't aesthetic. This is particularly important with the growth of new categories where people are being directed here from non-gaming communities.

    FIX THIS TWITCH!

    The "About" section in channels has been broken on the mobile site for a long, long time. Markdown is rendered as a single paragraph chunk of plaintext, not supporting even simple paragraphs.

    Is the team somehow unaware of this? This is quite a weird bug to keep unaddressed for so long, I'm genuinely curious what the story here is.

    Sometimes I wonder how certain platforms can grow this big even when they are not able to fix their ****. But I guess only a few people are using mobile devices these days

    Same thought here: Unbelievable

    Edit: There are posts on Reddit and other sites mentioning this bug from 5 years ago. We should not hope that this will be fixed in the current century

    Edit: But they were able to implement the censoring function on twitch.uservoice.com. Otherwise it would be scary in here :)

    It's 2023 and the problem is still persisting. Unbelievable.

    It is displayed correctly in native apps. However, it is not displayed correctly in Safari and other smartphone browsers.

    Wild that this hasn't been fixed yet - it's also broken in the native mobile apps.
