Change for change's sake is a poor reason to update a ui that has the required functionality already. Trading the goodwill of users for what appears to be an attempt at greater discoverability is a poor choice. Given that there was already significant negative feedback regarding the change when it was test launched to some users, it's disappointing to see that twitch clearly didn't take this into account.
The issues with this change have already been well articulated by numerous commenters here, both from the viewer and content creator perspectives. I don't want to see twitch mobile go the way of other apps, I don't want a tik tok experience when I open twitch. This isn't a social media platform, or a shorts sharing platform. I understand that time and resources have been invested into this change, but in the long term reversing it will be a much smarter decision in terms of usability and user goodwill than forcing people to choose between a tiktokified UI or simply changing to either exclusively browser based twitch viewing, or as appears to have been the choice of a number of other reviewers, to different platforms with streaming capabilities altogether.
