    I usually think the anger over a redesign is overblown and just a "you have to get used to it" type of deal, but not with this update. I understand why a TikTok-style feed is desirable in nowadays media, but plainly removing the option to have a separate following page where I can see my followed channels WITH THEIR TITLES & THUMBNAILS ordered in a way I want has to be the worst decision ever made.

    I go on twitch to primarily watch the things I know I want to watch (and not to doomscroll to maybe be lucky find something interesting) and this redesign removes my ability to quickly identify if there is currently something on that I would like to watch, making me quickly lose interest and go to competitors instead.

    My first time opening the new app was like this: "I can't see my following list, am I missing something? Ah, there is a small button for my following list. Wait, it's just a small popup list of the streamers that I follow WITHOUT a stream title so I don't even know what they're doing (JUST THE CATEGORY/GAME IS NOT ENOUGH), all the while some random stream I never want to watch is autoplaying in the background? This is atrocious, I'm gonna go on Youtube instead."

    Speaking of which, on Youtube I actually sometimes do just scroll through Youtube shorts or similar content, but they still leave me with the option to just quickly see if my favorite content creators uploaded a new video that I might like to watch. So yes, you can have both, I don't even see why this should be up for debate.

    I actually uninstalled the Twitch-App (and that's me being someone who's been watching twitch almost daily since 2011!) and will now just use my mobile browser if I want to watch in bed or on the go, but I will probably just default to Youtube on my phone anyways, at least until a usuable separate following page comes back.
