Regarding the new “Recently Featured Clips” section, I’m not sure I can say anything that hasn’t already been said many times, so I’ll just list my biggest personal issues with the feature to hopefully get more eyes on this addition:
1) Spoilers. I purposely avoid clips in general when new games I’m interested in come out to avoid getting spoiled, but now they’re unavoidable. In the week or so this feature has been implemented, I’ve already encountered one (thankfully) minor spoiler.
2) The live channels I follow now start halfway down my screen on the “Following” tab.
3) The same clips have been at the top for multiple days even though I purposely tried watching them hoping they’d disappear.
4) I’m sure it was implemented for a business/monetary reason, so completely removing the section (or adding an option to do so in settings) is probably out of the question, but I believe most of us would be happy with moving it under our live channels at the very least.
Ultimately, this change has made me less likely to open the Twitch app (and see the ads 😉) and start exploring and spending more time in competing live-streaming services.
