Watch Streaks: Easy, unambiguous confirmation that you've extended your streak
TL;DR: Put an indicator under the channel points menu that UNAMBIGUOUSLY indicates that you've extended your watch streak.
It can be a check mark. It can be words. It can both. Whatever. But it should say clearly that's you've extended your streak.
Currently, there is one clunky but reliable way to tell if you've extended your streak: You see "Watch Streak 30" under your streamer's name in the Followed list. You watch them until that text disappears. You might have to refresh the page to make sure it disappeared. Sometimes, rarely, it comes back. If you forget whether you were on a streak or not, this becomes unreliable. It would be better to be able to go to your streamer's page and see on that page whether you've extended your streak or not.
Currently, there's a big text box under the channel points menu that says something like "Your Watch Streak: 30". This is meaningless for this purpose because it shows up before you've actually extended your streak.
But since it it a big text box, if you wanted to put a parenthetical or something here that says something like "Streak not yet extended today" or "Streak extended today", that'd be fine. You can come up with better words.
There used to be that little flame icon next to the channel points count at the bottom. It was simple and small but completely ambiguous about when the streak extended because it was only concerned with when you reached streak milestones. But if you put a little second indicator next to it to show you've extended your streak, it'd work just fine. Could be something as simple as a red or green dot. (Mouseover confirmation text would be nice.)
I still like the Watch Streak reminders in the Followed list, and they work pretty well. Keep those. (Maybe a toggle in settings to turn them off for people that don't care, but that's a different conversation.) But just put definitive proof I've extended the streak on the channel page, and the most obvious place to me is in the channel points redeem menu.
Thank you.
