Hey guys! We really appreciate the feedback that has been brought forth in this thread and just wanted to update you a little bit on what is going on.
This change was originally made to guard against raid bot attacks. While smaller raids are currently viewable in activity feed in the dashboard, we are working on a solution that treats raids equally while guarding against abuse tactics.

I'm a small streamer, and I average around 3-7 viewers a stream. I cherish every one of my viewers in my little community, and think that each one of them brings something unique to the chat. Having said that, when I announce a raid, a few of them understandably head out. With these new raid requirements it means that my raids will almost never get noticed, making it extremely more difficult for me to network and grow as a streamer. Does Twitch want people to grow their channels and provide more revenue for the streamer and platform, or is Twitch just trying to lock in the current status quo of partners/large streamers vs small streamers?
This is just a ridiculous, boneheaded decision from a business standpoint. The ONLY explanation I can see for Twitch enacting this is that they not only don't care about small streamers, but actually have some sort of weird disdain for them. FIX IT NOW.
