Settings and activity

The reason this idea won’t work is because then everyone will be just doing follow for follow. If you get the follows but don’t have any viewers except for yourself, then ad revenue will be low as well as any other potential growth. Best thing to do is to market yourself accordingly, everywhere and anywhere (not on others streams) and request people pull your stream up first and keep you tabbed. As well as if they are comfortable to type in chat once every so often.

But as far as twitch doing away with viewer counts, that will never happen. Active viewers is how twitch gets paid for ads. Adtrackers and such. If no one watches the ad, then twitch doesn’t get paid, and in turn, the streamer.

And just noticed this is from 2020 lol

This is already a thing. You can vote once for free, and then "boosting" votes cost either channel points or bits or both. (up to streamer)

Make this an OPTION to do "Secret Ballot" or "Public Poll". I agree with this but, definitely make it an OPTION to do secret ballot. Just reiterating the OPTION statement of this request. :-)

Definitely Poll time
Please allow poll timer to be longer than 10 minutes. I stream roughly between 11-15 hours 3 days a week. When I run a poll like? “What game would you like to see next stream?” That’s an all day poll. Having to “stop” the stream to retype every 10 minutes (if I remember to look), writing down the results, telling viewers not to vote in this poll if they voted previously, etc… is really time consuming. Keep everything else the same with the poll. Just extend the timer to maybe 24 hours. Or until streamer manually ends the poll (not the stream).

Thank you 😊
