Absolutely dreadful UI. I did not volunteer to test your Discovery Feed, change it back as soon as possible. I understand you want to test potential updates, but please make this process voluntary rather than imposing new designs on users who are not willing to hinder their current experience.
The feed in itself might be fine for other users, but it absolutely should not be the default page when opening the app. I open the app first and foremost to see if any of the streamers I follow are online. I do not open the app to have a potentially noisy stream I have no interest in automatically play. It's a sensory nightmare.
Removing the ability to scroll through the channels I follow in favour of an unnavigable feed of random channels I have no interest in is an extremely poor design choice. If you must have this feed, put it elsewhere and do not force users to put up with an inferior experience.
Additionally, the fact you can't browse other channels and categories with the current stream minimised is an objectively worse design choice.
This test is an unwelcome aggravation for a user that was already happy with the app as is. Change it back immediately and do not force testing on random users. This is really poor from Twitch.
