I heard some say this change may have been for discoverability, but other platforms have a separate tab I can click on and find creators that I don't currently watch. When I open Twitch, I know who I want to watch and I go straight to their channel. Twitch isn't TikTok. Twitch should not be trying to be TikTok.
This new update autoplays a channel I'm not following and I have no interest in watching and makes it tedious to get to the list of channels I want to watch. Every single time! Make a separate "For You" tab that isn't the default tab you see when opening the app. Make a "Following" tab that IS the default tab you see when opening the app.
If you're trying to increase discoverability, then make a "For You" section under the "Following" section (like the current webapp). I've discovered plenty of streamers this way and it works great. Also, I encourage rolling out features using A/B testing and gathering data. You may discover a perfect way to increase discoverability without alienating your users.
