I dislike the most recent update to the mobile app. I don't understand why when I open up the app I only see a close up video of one person who's streaming - how is that selected? Is it done fairly? According to highest view count? That doesn't sound very fair to me. I liked having the list of streamers live on the home page because then I could quickly scroll through and get information to see who is live, what they're streaming and see a quick snapshot of the screen. This is useful because I can a) avoid spoilers and b) avoid the risk of having the sound from a video pop up every time I open the app (setting that homepage stream so it's muted doesn't help that much. It's so easy to accidentally click and unmute.) I also dislike how when one stream ends the stream on the homepage is from someone I don't follow. I saw that someone i followed was live but instead of seeing their stream I got a random suggestion filling the screen instead. It's not lost on me the suggested stream had thousands of views as well - how is that fair to streamers who don't have as big audiences? It feels like twitch is pushing streamers with larger followers instead of showing me the streamers that I *chose* to follow. Please reverse this update - it's giving tik tok (which I don't use) and is completely unsuitable for a primarily streaming platform. Edit - to add to what everyone else is saying- I also cannot see the option to carry on from VODS I was watching before, which I constantly utilised
