Every recent major change that has been push edout to content creators have been usually met with an immensity of upset or annoyance for the sake of that we as content creators have to deal with these changes being enforced on us without any kind of prior opportunity to try things out, to give feedback on if these changes would be beneficial to us as content creator.

The most recent example being the Unban Request manager. This is absolute not needed for a majority of streamers because when someone is banned, it's a permanent situation. Having to receive an unban request can be considered a further form of harassment in some situations.

We would love it if instead of enforcing these changes straight away, throw the idea of a change into the air to us the form of @TwitchSupport tweets, those in the Twitch RPG being able to properly test these planned changes early or give critical feedback as an effective research group, or even just a mailout to affiliates/partners to do a survey. It's literally as easy as that, and that way, you get your feedback before a global change is made that no-one likes.

May I remind you about the 'test' made for the mid-roll ads that were met with an immensity of uproar and outrage because once again, there was no prior warning given to us as creators. Just talk to us, we want your platform to do better. We feel unheard.

I often use the 'videos' page as a placeholder to remind me "I can't watch this stream right now but I need to check out the VOD of this later." Except now the Videos page (which is annoying AF to get to without manually typing it in), it plays the stream! If I wanted to watch the stream, I would WATCH THE STREAM. If I want to look at videos, let me look at videos WITHOUT WATCHING THE STREAM (maybe a second copy of the stream, which interferes with my viewing, if I opened it in a new window). Worse, it also plays whoever might be hosted by the channel I'm looking at videos for, something I might have zero interest in whatsoever!

Give me an option to turn off ANY streams playing on any page other than the actual streamer's page, please, or better yet just revert back to the old system entirely so I can just click on videos easily when I want to.

The new channel layout sucks (let's be honest). It's a maze just to get to the clip section and the video player just seems off without the little "videos, clips, followers, etc" and profile picture tab on the top. Besides, having the huge box under the player with only the profile picture and the about info is also weird. People use to just type the about info in the panel section below anyways?

Would at least be cool if the viewer could choose if they want this new channel design or the old one. For me, this new feature makes the viewer experience worse.

https://twitter.com/thundergod97/status/1038248476948213760 my twitter thread about this.

1. Option to always send an email (obviously not everyone wants this so it should be an OPTION. I use email notifications as a history of when people have gone live. I also get push notifications of emails from that email address on my phone, so I can tell when people have gone live.

2. Base it actually on ACTIVITY. If I have browser windows at home open to twitch that does not mean I am ACTIVE on twitch. You should be able to tell when I'm active because I'm chatting or I'm clicking around the site. If I'm using the app, send notifications there. If I'm using the site, send notifications there. If I'm not using anything....revert to email (but also see #1).

It just needs to be smarter. Since you implemented it the notifications have only either been going to my browser window at home, or my phone via the app. I'm not active in those 24 hours a day. I have received ZERO notifications in my email since you turned "smart" notifications on.

[ENG] I would like you to implement an easier and more aesthetic way of ordering the channel panels. Every time a new panel is added or one is removed, everything is disorganized. It could be divided by fixed columns of 4 or 5, then we could decide if in "Colum 1" put a number of panels / extensions and in "Column 2" different ones.

[ESP] Quisiera que implementan una formas mas facil y estetica de ordenar los paneles del canal. Cada vez que se agrega un panel nuevo o se elimina uno, se desorganiza todo. Podria ser dividido por columnas fijas de 4 o 5, entonces podriamos decidir si en la "Columa 1" poner un varios de los paneles/extensiones y en la "Columna 2" otros diferentes.

Hello,

I have spoke to many people over the years of me being on Twitch and many of us are upset that when we accidentally click "unfollow" it resets our following date. I know some people have done it on purpose, but many of us would like to keep our follow date. Being on mobile at night time when I am relaxing somewhere and not on my PC, it is easy to accidentally click the unfollow button, especially if I have fallen asleep. It would be nice if it was possible to create an option, maybe in settings, to turn off the unfollow button or something of the sorts so we keep our original follow date. Or maybe it just show our original following date when looking at our user card in chat. I am not sure what options there are regarding this feature but I hope that it would be possible in the near future.

Thank you for considering my idea,

I would like to incorporate the two current options of the Auto Host feature of (Select a random stream on your AutoHost list + Play from the top down)

I would like a line in the list, anything above that line gets played in order of online. Anything below the line gets played at random selection.

I have a few channels that run tournaments that I would like to have auto host priority, and then the rest tend to be my friends I would like to support. I'd like all my friends to have equal representation. While throwing my maximum support towards events I'm excited about.

Thanks for listening Twitch

As a streamer who likes to look at who is following them, having to go to my channel settings every time now to look at my follower list is highly annoying, this button should be added back onto our pages even if it is only visable to the steamer, this is for easier access which I think you will agree is better overall than something being out of the way and annoying to get too.

The following button should be brought back as well for who the streamer follows so that way followers can look at who the streamer follows and possibly find other people to watch, while the streamer could be hosting somebody and the viewer could watch them, giving them more options is a good idea overall to help everyone grow and not just whoever the streamer is hosting at the time.
