This topic is hugely important to me. I follow a lot of old games that get rarely streamed by anyone, so I'm always excited when I see that category go live in my follow list. I have found some great streamers this way.
For me, this completely destroys the way I interact with Twitch. As someone who is interested in streaming myself in the future, I am also worried that people would not find my streams if I stream an old game, as people are discouraged from following a larger variety of categories.
I implore Twitch to reconsider this cap. Please remove it entirely or set it to a much higher limit (1500).

Recently Twitch has introduced a new limit of how many categories can be followed, see for example https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/14erd9k/not_able_to_follow_games_under_categories_anymore/. Now, I can no longer add any new games to my follow list.
