Overheard Twitch staff discussing this in the alleyway near their HQ. Seems they'v'n't quite figured that all out yet. Fortunately, many streamers seem to have picked up the habit of overlaying their chat on all their streams, as more realized how integral their chat is to the ~*stream experience*~

You guys don't understand how things work on the server end. I don't either, but htbx for example has a different infastructure to support 1080p60. Twitch may not be able to. Seems their source is 720p60. High is 720p30, med 480p30, and low 360p30. Mobile idk, audio only is self-explanatory

We apply IP bans in Chat based on users’ Moderation actions in certain cases. We don’t currently plan to publicize the logic we use because we think it would make it easier for bad actors to bypass the restriction.

The question then becomes, why & how does htbx have the IPs of all logged in chatters, whilst Twitch, perhaps, does not? It'd seem they don't even know a streamer's IP unless u hand it over to them. Source: once got a channel ban, contested it, gave them my IP only to receive IP ban, lol. Neat trick
