Here's an idea: If you're so desperately trying to keep new people interested & staying on the platform, why not only show the new doom scrolling feature if nobody you already follow is live? That way new viewers who only follow a few people get shown new channels, but those who have been here a while and follow enough that one of them is always live get shown their list of them instead of unwanted randomness? And for people who are somewhere in between, it could still be useful. Because if they open the app & see a random channel playing, they know none of their favorites happen to be live at the moment. And they might actually be open to exploring at that point.
The way that it's set up right now, it's like you're getting the "annoy the viewer with an unwanted ad" factor every time we open the app, except Twitch isn't making making any money off of it. The worst possible combo.

That's the fun part Bob, you can't. Apparently "increasing discovery" means making it harder to find the people you already follow. The live followed list is not sorted alphabetically, or by view count, date followed, or any other order I can figure out. And you can't change it either. It's objectively worse than before, for no apparent reason. Auto playing video of people we're not following and often never heard of was deemed more important for some reason.
It also loves to just close out whatever you were watching when you hit the Back button on Android trying to close a pop up menu or extension. Stutters a lot more when playing also, especially when tapping on other things while in PiP mode. Clip button failed every time for the first few days but seems like it's working now. The previous versions were janky & had some glitches, but this one seems like a significant step backward so far.

We are actively investigating APIs for the music catalog. It is a complex challenge that requires more scrutiny than our usual endpoints. We will have further information about the potential implementation and availability of these APIs at a later date. If you have a use case in mind, please include it in the comments below as this would be helpful for our development process.

You guys have been theoretically working on a solution for this legal situation for years. How was this not part of the feature release? The 'solution' involves thousands of people manually typing thousands of artist names one at a time forever?

Considering that golden Kappa trains seem to come in waves (don't see any at all for weeks, then a bunch of channels have them over the course of a few days), this situation happens quite a bit.
If this really is your intended behavior of the feature, then please consider what the user behavior is that you're trying to encourage. Would you rather people be spending more money to try to keep their golden as long as possible, or holding back from spending once they already have one, because it's a waste/scam to participate in a 2nd one within 24 hours?

Hey all! Thanks for this thread. We recently deprecated anonymous Cheering after we discovered it was being abused. While we understand some viewers prefer not being recognized for Cheering, we made this change to ensure a safer experience for those who were negatively impacted.
We’ve also heard your concerns on what this means for the future of Bits. This deprecation is not related to any plans to limit Cheering with Bits on Twitch, and is solely focused on providing a safer experience for our community.

Now that Twitch is no longer trying to kill off bits, can you bring back anonymous cheers? Everyone knows it was never a 'safety issue', so please let the whales who don't want recognition spend freely again. Thanks!

You can set your own minimum number of bits per message per channel already. And people can't send messages with anonymous bits. And I believe you could always ban AnAnonymousCheerer if you didn't want them at all. (Altho a checkbox in the settings to disallow would still be better.) And Twitch always knew who was spending the bits even if the streamer didn't, so they can look into it if there's still somehow a kind of harassment happening after all that. So I'm not sure how removing the option for ALL streamers to receive them is required to increase 'safety', that adding an option for streamers to turn them off wouldn't accomplish better. Vague explanation about "safety" doesn't sound legit so far. Unless... you're planning to get rid of bits anyway. Then of course it makes sense to not add any new bits related features.

They've been slowly getting rid of Bits-related features for months. Presumably because they want to get rid of Bits entirely. But haven't said anything about it because they hate communicating what they're planning. Assuming they want to replace it with one of the 2 technically separate but ridiculously similar experiments going on right now... Both lower-value knockoffs of the already more boring & less useful YouTube SuperChat feature.
But since neither of them seem to allow Anonymous payments either, the main point of this original request still stands.

At the very least let MODS delete their own messages, or those of other mods. Currently if I mod posts something accidentally that shouldn't be seen, a streamer has to un-mod the person, delete the message, and then re-mod them. Which is kinda ridiculous.

Please stop trying to turn everything related to money on Twitch into a mysterious black box of unknowable-ness.
Also, people like Gnare being less motivated to contribute to hype trains is going to make that income line on your financial charts drop noticeably faster than it already has been...
