  1. When the boost this stream happens everyone raised 25k Channel points in under an hour, so if every time the goal is completed on a stream make the next time for 50k and the stream is shown to 5.6k people!

  2. Evidently in trying to collect data on the optimal way to implement the Boost feature, there's a group of streamers that are getting the boosts and others that are not. This makes sense but to reduce bias, it may be needed to have a second part data collection where the group that did not get any boosts get the boosts instead, and compare the results from the two parts. This can help identify any biases, if any, and will be more fair (and thus reduce dissatisfaction of smaller streamers that we're seeing).

  3. One thing bothers me about the Boost: people are suggested to me that I can't understand because I don't speak their language. It would be nice if these promotions were more specialized.

    For example, if someone often watches German & English streamers, that they are suggested to him.

    What should I do with a streamer if I can't understand him?

    Also, by being "Promoted" you don't see the viewership & you can't mark the person as "not interested" like you can with normal streams.

  4. Instead of asking our viewers to choose between fun and promoting the stream, make the boost passive and based on ANY points spent during a stream.

    As it stands, the system is creating a conflict of interest - particularly for channels that are solely powered on Channel Points.

  5. If you advertise my channel on the main page, means what? There will be people interested playing Metin2? Just an example. The mixer idea was very good, a special channel in each category, hosting randomly streamers playing the game in the last 3 squads left (Fortnite/Apex Legends) In this way, the small streamers get advertise to the right type of viewers which are actually interested on that type of content. Just an idea .....

  7. The boost this stream should be based off streaming hours instead of 2 days. For example, I got the "boost this stream" challenge the other day, but I was ill and had to cancel my stream the day after, then the day after that is my off day.

    It will now be missed because we were just short on the day it came in as it came in at the end of my stream. Instead of it being 2 days. Have it be the next x amount of hours streamed. This gives people the chance to hit the goal if…

  8. Let all channels ask their viewers to Boost This Stream. Except perhaps the channels who don't need boosting but are already doing fine for viewership.

  9. It would be more easier if big streamers and partners did receive a bonus for hosting and raid and promote smaller channels.
    Twitch is going to have a massive issue soon.
    After the pike of growth and quarantine demanding at some point in 2 years from 2021 (or less). Twitch will get boring because the only people who get to survive doing this are the big streamers massively caputing viewers for what?
    Plain same show, just shouting and screaming and doing non-sense. Ceelebreties with teenager actitud. This will work as long as viewers always remain teenagers ?

    If big streamers…

  10. Hey guys, I had my 3rd boost on Twitch. Our community completed the goal and the boost started not too long after, but it lasted a lot longer this time which is awesome! Now, I've been doing some research on how people will see the channel. My community tried looking for me in "The channels we think you'll like" section and I wasn't there. I was only visible when community members either logged out or used incognito mode. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not. I think most people are logged in, if they have an account, when…

  11. So being part of the boost your stream beta I have noticed that 2 days is a really short time especially if it launched when you are not streaming the next day. I think giving 4 or 5 days would give the streamer less stress about having this amazing opportunity.

  12. Several community members who have already used points towards a Stream Boost goal (including myself) are unable to use any more points when a new Boost Stream opportunity pops up. This issue has persisted across days and streams.

  13. HI! I thought about an idea where instead of the boost "just popping up" on stream randomly, we can get a ticket or token that we can activate or turn on. Once turned on you can't turn it off until it expires. It would give communities a chance to make it special or even schedule it. It could have an expiration date so it will motivate the streamer to start it soon. I would love if we could hold the boost for another stream, giving time to prep, again. That way the streamer can talk about it on social medias…

  14. So I like the idea, but just a few tweaks. I like how the challenge can just pop up and we have a couple days to complete it, but upon completion can we save the boost for the future? I got the challenge on my "friday" so I felt compelled to make sure I completed it within the time frame forcing me to stream on my day off. I did complete it but then the boost happened right away. I would love to see it for the next stream where I can prepare for it, kind of like a front…

  15. Instead of spending channel points to boost the stream, could the boost bar be filled a bit every time someone collects their bonus channel points? I love channel point rewards and I hate the idea of people choosing between boosting my stream or redeeming them for fun. This way people can fill the boost bar by actively watching, and still use their points for what they like.

  16. I am no where close to being a partner, and this happened for me (average 12 viewers). I was so amazed when I got the oppurtunity for this. It was a bit tough to reach the goal, but you have 2 days. When I completed the Boost challenge it made my stream boost to 56 viewers. It only last about 10 mins. I feel like if this is going to be a thing, let the small streamer enjoy the Boost a little longer. I do not feel this option should be for partners.

  17. What I am thinking would be a channel point booster that would allow everyone in the channel to reach a Twitch Specified Goal i.e Twitch would scale the amount needed. Once the amount of channel points were pooled by the community it would trigger a community channel points "hype train" during this time anyone using bits would receive a specific percentage off their bits 5% , 10% similar to when the heart events go on. They could also receive a price break on any gifted or purchased subs during this time. I think this would bring in a lot of…

  18. I wish you and the team would stop trying to push features like this. Instead of having a "boost" feature, why not work on a better way to make smaller content creators to be discovered?

    Many have resulted in branching out to other social media and content creation platforms in order to funnel more viewers into twitch because of the over saturation of streams. Look at how addictive YouTube and Tik Tok are... Also look at how easy they are to just continuously browse and find new content. These are the things you should be focused on.

    Honestly, Small streamers…

  19. During a boost, as it's described now, people can use up to 2,000 channel points. This isn't an issue for viewers with a lot saved up, but more casual viewers might have to choose between other channel point rewards and boosting. To fix this, making it so channel points spent on any reward during a boost contribute to the boost could help. This makes boosts feel less like a waste of channel points, and could make boosts more hectic and fun. However, if a streamer doesn't want this, they could maybe set a limit on the number of redeems that…

  20. This entire idea of Boost this stream is amazing. As a content creator I am more than happy and ecstatic at the thought of maybe having this on my own channel. Although I see this tools usefulness in aiding smaller streamers grow I feel that certain criteria should be in place before becoming eligible to have access to a boost. For example: You can't get boosts on your channel unless you are an affiliate, You can't buy boosts in anyway shape or form for yourself and you can't get boosted if you are a partner. I feel the most important…
