As a viewer, I want to opt out of "raid welcome" shouts
When Twitch introduced shouts in general, I was leery. It feels to me like the purpose of these shouts is already served by the "stories" function, and while I'd rather not have streamers shouting at me at all, having one way for it to fill up my homepage and spike my anxiety (ie stories) is bad enough. Then I started getting "raid welcome" shouts from streamers I don't know. This feels incredibly invasive, manipulative, and like I'm being targeted, and I don't like it at all! I want Twitch to add a native feature that allows users to opt out of any "raid welcome" shouts they may receive. I still want to follow someone I am watching when they raid (both to boost their numbers and to get the channel points) but I don't like when I follow a raid into a channel I don't know and then the new streamer sends me a shout as a "raid welcome." I want there to be a native Twitch setting that allows me to opt out of these.

While it doesn't personally bother me, I do agree that users should be able to opt out of features or updates they wish not to be affected by.
