Cease the Stream Streak Experiment.
This is already a harsh system, allowing no mistakes or faults of the viewer
If a streamer streamed for 10 Minutes but had issues and couldn't continue, a large portion of their viewer base would lose their streaks through no fault of their own, this also adds just another reason for the streamer to feel awful about something like this
There's no safety net either, once you miss a stream, your streak of 200/300/or even 400+ is gone and there's nothing the user can do
The only way other viewers can catch up to people who aren't even more prominent of a member but people who were simply there first and have a head start is by that user losing their streak
Losing a streak of that magnitude also comes with a massive kick to the chest
It has so many chances to make a negative environment for people, especially when they lose their streak for seemingly no reason, which is only made worse if it's because they had more then 2 streams open as it's an unfamiliar limit of twitch and people either don't know about it or have heard a different number

I agree with this. I lost a watch streak that was over 100 streams for seemingly no reason. Now, every time the popup happens in the channel I'm going to be ****** off. I don't want to ask the streamer to disable it globally, I just want to turn it off completely for myself.
Fun feature until you lose it, then it's a constant reminder of either getting screwed or failing.
