    I have been supporting streamers by cheering bits, gifting subs and subscribing to several of them, since the creation of my twitch account. I even have my Amazon Prime linked to it.
    And suddenly, on May 27th 2022, I can't chat anymore on any channel across twitch without a verified phone number.

    After trying to contact twitch support several times, i only get the same automated response saying that, for chat safety reason, i have to register a phone number in order to be allowed to chat.

    How can an account with my history of support can suddenly become a threat to chat safety?

    The phone number verification was supposed to be an option for the streamers to prevent spambots in chat, not a mandatory step for the legitimate viewer who simply wants to participate in chat.

    Do Better Twitch!
