At the time of typing this, my laptop can't render the video of my desired stream at 160p. As a result, the broadcast is frozen, it won't/can't process ads either and may eventually force me to give up my would-be watch time hours (meaning lost money for Twitch, lost potential ad views for third-party clients, lost watch time and engagement for the streamer, and dissatisfaction from a viewer). This is the biggest kind of loss. I can watch and receive ads without quality of life features that other suggestions might mention, but not being able to use Twitch at all because I have to stream video that I don't necessarily need-? There's no good side to this feature being absent. There is however an unknown amount of lost watch time as a result of this --as it's often a minority of people who go through this whole process and do so correctly.
