January 2024 and this is still a MAJOR complaint? Get it together Twitch. First:
-"thegam805" is the stupidest prefix any person or bot could have autogenerated for me. I've literally had people tell me "You should make your emote names shorter, they're too long" when one of them is literally just "thegam805SUS". It's THREE characters, but the prefix is so long that nobody wants to use my emotes. Long prefixes, or prefixes that make zero sense, are barriers to community engagement.
Now to echo/emphasize other ideas I've read:
-Give us an option of like 5 auto-generated prefixes (esp because there's so much room for error & offense in cutting off parts of words or adding random numbers)
-Let us pay ONCE for a custom one pre-Partnered (you'd make so much $$)
Another Idea:
-Give us a heads up of what our "randomly generated prefix" will/could be while we are changing our name. I'm tempted to do a branding shift, but I'm super concerned about what nightmare of a new prefix I'd be stuck with. And it'd be terrible for name recognition to have to change it all AGAIN in 60 days until I get a decent Branding Combo of Username & Prefix.
