Exclude currently live streamers from viewer counts on other channels
We propose that accounts that are actively broadcasting on their own channel should not be counted as viewers on other Twitch streams they may have open at the same time.
In other words, a streamer should still be able to open and follow other channels while they are live, for example to support friends or fellow creators, but their presence should not contribute to those channels’ concurrent viewer count.
This would make viewer counts more representative of users who are actually watching a stream as viewers, while preventing so-called “lurking” between streamers who are currently live from artificially influencing audience metrics.
The goal of this proposal is not to prevent streamers from supporting each other or visiting other channels, but simply to distinguish between someone who is actively watching a livestream and a broadcaster who is simultaneously running their own stream.
