I mean, the issue is, that views and so on often aren't detected by twitch (or being not seen as what they are) while you still get channel points by chatting and being on the stream

I gain a lot of channel points even as passive chatter (as some streams I simply enjoy watching and listening too especially when being sick in bed) and yet the streams simply sometimes won't be registered as actual views for a streak, but the channel points get more and more.

So one thing I ask myself is, why doesn't it register you as a viewer when you not muting the stream or tab? Could it be possible that as soon as you need to switch windows for example to reply to a mail the stream gets seen as "background playback" and not being noticed anymore? And if so, why is it possible, to activate background play on mobile devices anyways?

I mean, I don't get it why things are like this in the first place... you want to motivate users to be more active on twitch and watch more streams of the streamers they like and then you basically punish them for things that are out of our control anyways?

If a viewer does not get detected for what ever kind of reason it basically says "you missed a stream, bye bye watch streak" (even when you have been an active chatter and clip creator).

So the thing is... if activity on the channel should be detected by active things... why is it, that on some streams that I mostly listen to I get watch streaks and on others where I chat a lot I am ignored by twitch?

that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

perhaps there should be some more system behind this
