I liked twitch because it was a place where I can settle in and chill. This new UI takes away all of that. I don't know what is going to show up on my screen, I don't know who is live without looking through the channels, I can't see what categories are being streamed with how many people are watching, nothing. This UI feels insulting both to viewers and creators as it portrays the viewers like they are so braindead and stupid that they'll fall for anything and the creators because now with the "tiktok scrolling" style it makes it appear like their content isn't worth watching. I want to support the streamers I like but also don't want to support this shoddy UI system but I can't do both as a lot of streamers don't actually stream anywhere else. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. You can't just go and make a huge change to one of the basic biggest chunks of your website and expect people to like with without asking them first. The old UI was simple and straight to the point which is why it worked, changing it to the style of an app designed for the literal opposite type of content created the worst of both worlds. I don't understand how this was thought of, approved, designed, coded, and implemented without a second thought about the users but hey, here we are with a company that clearly doesn't care about anyone that uses their products and only sees us as the gateway to the money in our pockets. I don't ever post or complain about stuff like this but this was the most obviously dumb decision I have ever seen made by a company. Twitch, please fix your app, stick to what was already working for you and your users, and listen to feedback from your user base.
Edit: TLDR: This system doesn't work, feels insulting, and twitch needs to listen to its user base.
