Oh my gosh, after 20 minutes of searching and redirecting, finally some information on this! I thought Twitch was broken for me as others said it wasn't changed, but no apparently I'm just the unlucky chosen few haha.
The new layout has changed the div ".dRGOOY.Layout-sc-1xcs6mc-0" to appear before the stream, this contains everything at the top now (excluding background)... It has however left the subscribe button at the bottom of the screen (idk why).
Currently only the FrankerFaceZ extension can sort this. The BTTV extension MAY be able to sort this in the future. There may also be other extensions allowing you to move elements around the page, but you will have varying degrees of success with it to say the least.
I would like for Twitch to gather a few employees, an eye tracker, and to have them sit in front of a slideshow for a few minutes. Ensure that the top of the monitor is just above eye level as this is where most people have it for comfortable viewing.
Where did their focus go to in this little experiment? Was it similar to how you would look at an object in real life? Starting near the middle (say the eyes and nose on a face) and then going to the ends of the image, usually looking down before you look up?
The only logical reason for these changes is that some designer finally learned about the F and Z patterns for looking at text. These patterns are indeed true when reading, but they're not true when you go to watch a video or view an image. Instead, we'll often focus on the centre, and looking down is far easier than looking up without moving your head. In fact, looking up is marginally more annoying to do for most people.
The absolute worst part, is that you clearly know this Twitch, I mean this text box is in a "comfortable area". If anyone wants to look more into it, look at the image scanning hypothesis. There's also a better article that touches on this for photography, but I have since lost it.
