Ability to exclude channel from recommended channels section
I'd love to have some control over the recommended channels section in the sidebar. I see the same channels in that section and I don't like them all, I'd not miss anything if this section never existed. I think if users had an ability to exclude channels from this section, it would bring in much better user experience to the platform and more exposure to other streamers.
My solution would be just a tiny X button on the right, after the streamer's name and viewers count.

I want to have full control over the content that twitch thinks it has to suggest to me. Just watching some streams makes me sick.
I want to block streamers quickly, easily and uncomplicatedly and never have to receive a suggestion or give it a second thought.
I want to be able to choose and control the 'offer' that Twitch wants to 'make' to me, without being subliminally pressured to 'maybe you could like this or that'.It doesn't interest me and I would like to be able to pursue my interests better without distraction and distortion.

This currently semi-exists with functionality being on the front page only, but if I see a recommendation in the sidebar that I'm not interested it's a bad experience having to go to the front page and see if the recommendation is also surfaced there. It should be easier to add users to my "Channel Feedback" list.

After talking to my friend, I want to explain this idea a little bit more.. I do not suggest to remove recommended channels completely. The idea is to keep this section and give users more control over it. Let's say it recommends me Channel A, Channel B, Channel C, etc. And I've already watched Channel A and Channel B, and I don't want to watch them again. I'd click X button (don't recommend), and after that, instead of Channel A and Channel B, I'd see Channel N and Channel M. Right now it's always same channels with no ability to change that, therefore, if you don't like all channels in the section, it has no purpose at all.
