We’re happy to announce that we have released an additional update to address these concerns. Streamers can now prevent their banned users from watching their livestreams. You can find and turn on this feature in the Moderation settings section of the Creator Dashboard, through the “Stop banned users from viewing stream” toggle.
Please note, this update 1). does not prevent users from watching livestreams from an incognito window or while logged out and 2). does not prevent users from viewing VODs, clips or highlights. We plan to explore extending the functionality of bans further, including but not limited to preventing VOD and clip playback.
In addition, we’ve made an update so that users that are blocked will now automatically be blocked from watching a streamer’s livestreams.
We will leave this thread open for your other points regarding preventing view of other content types and account creation.

@NightmareJoker2 Yes, bullying is a horrible thing to happen, but on platform like Twitch you have all the control which streams to watch and interact with. If you don't feel welcomed somewhere then why would you go back there. One can go around bans and keep watching, but this ban update is of course just a little psychological thing; for streamers to have that moment of relief when they have an option to kick out person who makes them feel uncomfortable. You don't need to break rules or do much to become unwanted viewer if you keep behaving the way streamer or other viewers find disturbing.
Sometimes streamers channel is their workplace or the only way to spend their free time and socialize with others so they should have all the rights to choose who they're spending their time with.
You're just making yourself a problem If you are banned somewhere and still keep trying to go back just to prove a point or something like that. Why not just let them have this and move along to other channels where you might find content suitable for you. If a streamer, their content or their community annoys you then it's easier for you to just let them be and not keep hatewatching with all your might after you've been kicked out for a reason or another. Fighting against something like this is pointless and silly. When someone has told you to get out of their house because they don't like you and you still try to break in then you have to realize that you're the one going too far.

@nightmarejoker2 Streamers do not owe you anything. Not their attention or even a reaction if they don't feel like it. It's completely up to you how much time or money you invest in them. Every comment you make against this update just proves that it was good decision to do it. Obsessive behaviour shouldn't be tolerated anywhere. Learn to let things go and you'll feel better.
