Opt out of stream streaks
I saw a chatter say they feel pressured and manipulated by the Twitch "stream streak" notifications, so much so that they deliberately choose to miss occasional streams to end the streak! While this is a very niche case, there should be a setting for such users, which, if they enable it, would make stream streaks entirely disappear from the UI for them so they don't have to worry about it any more.
I would also note that Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok are all actively facing legal pressure over "addictive design", and stream streaks are one feature which might be viewed as harmful within this regulatory zeitgeist.

Absolutely 100%.
As a viewer, I do not want to be harassed by notifications that I didn't happen to watch a streamer consecutively.
As a streamer, I do not want people harassed that they didn't watch me consecutively. It manufactures FOMO and could even lead people to feel resentment if their streaks get broken. -
