Fix the accursed Stream Streak!
As is the Stream Streak is an unstable piece of garbage with unjustified rewards and only generates frustration when it breaks for things in neither streamer nor viewer's controls!
Multiple times I had streaks between 50 and 70 days that were broken just because the system decided "Oh, let's break this person's streak randomly!" And worse: this problem is CONSISTENT. It appears to relate with module failure, so that makes it TWITCH RESPONSIBILITY ALONE.
So, here's a few options to rework this in a manner it works:
1. Add a manual check-in function AND give a two-stream leniency. Module Failure can ruin streaks, and nothing the viewer nor the streamer can do about as is, so the manual check-in would not only give a confirmation for the viewer, but also the leniency would let them maintain their streak.
Use a "Stamp Rally Card" system instead. Basically, ditch streak, add a Stamp button, next to the points or inside the Points Redeem panel, it stamps a virtual card and, once you reach a milestone, you can use the card to show how many streams you have watched. Plus it opens doors for more ideas to explore...
Simply ditch the broken streak altogether and call it a day if you aren't going to fix it, but at least increase the points gain.

To add insult to injury, Twitch told me they would not reinstate the streaks that their system bugs break except "maybe" if a "few people" have the same problem they'll fix it. I'm seeing hundreds of complaints about this but they refuse to do anything at all.

Merci d'avoir écris cette idée, je viens de perdre une série de 94 streams alors que le streamer m'avais promis une récompense si j'arrivais à 100...
