Watch Streak Resetting Despite Not Missing Streams
It is incredibly disheartening to have created the goals of reaching at least a 100 watch streak on your favorite streamers only to have all of your watch streaks reset on the same day, presumably due to either work on the system or a bug.
I'd rather not have watch streaks if you aren't capable of keeping them tallied accurately.

I too had this happen to me I was on stream #72 when the streamer said on thier discord they were having tech issues and said even though it would tell them they went live it didn't actually stream so when they finally got it to work and my notification popped up when I clicked on it there was nothing it just said last stream was today. Had no idea how it would be over in the 30 seconds it took for me to see the notification read it click.it and the app to open. They finally got it working an hour later I joined saw my 72 when first joining so thought it was all good the system must have realized there was no actual stream but when my points came in it said my streak was 1 because I missed a stream.

Same thing happened to me. Was at nearly 90 on a channel, went to the streamer when they first started and saw my same number. Since I was at work, went away for an hour with the stream still up. I come back and for whatever reason I got reset. Stream was still up, streamer confirmed they didn't have a disconnect. A bit disheartening and makes the stream another meaningless thing on the platform. I understand things break, but when you have no choice in fixing it then it just sucks.

I also had a watch streak reset out of nowhere (69 streams, nice!) for seemingly no reason. Checking the vods of the streamer, I'm seen chatting throughout, certainly in the stream long enough to have the streak continue... only to have it reset on his most recent streams.
If we can't get the system to work, or have tools available to return the streak where it was, it's incredibly discouraging and makes me not want to watch at all.
