Throw my "this is awful and should never have happened" on the mountain with all the others. Read any number of other people talking about how awful this is and you'll have the gist of this.
All this is doing is having me cancel my subs and go to other platforms that don't require me to give out my IRL phone number. Like I'm not the biggest fish out there but I have spent thousands over the years on bits, subs, gift subs, and donations and now twitch is going to lose that business and I can only hope enough people also do this that Twitch undoes this garbage. I'm not going to hold my breath though as it's really easy to shrug your shoulders and just give them what they want and people don't usually think about why this is just an awful idea.
