There now seems to be no point to hosting another channel when I am not streaming, as there is no indication on my channel page that I am doing so without jumping through hoops.
The useless video carousel defaults to the channel trailer video. If I remove the channel trailer, it defaults to the video of my last stream. The equally useless “customize your channel” button gives no options to choose what content will be shown by default in the carousel. A viewer landing on my page will have no way to know I am hosting someone else’s channel unless they:
1. Click through the video carousel until the hosted stream appears. NO ONE is going to do that.
2. Click on my username below the carousel. This brings you to the old layout stream player with the hosted channel playing. The game title displayed DOES NOT show the game/category of the hosted channel. Instead, it shows the game/category of the last thing I streamed. That is both confusing and useless.Hosting another channel is one of the greatest features that Twitch has to engage viewers while a channel is offline. It helps create a sense of community by allowing viewers to discover channels with similar content. With this channel “redesign” you have rendered that feature essentially useless because it has been buried. A hosted channel should be the first thing a viewer sees in the content player when landing on an offline channel page.
If there is a way to have hosted channels appear by default, there is no obvious way to do so. Once again, you have removed a useful feature and rendered it totally useless.

Another situation where Twitch removes a useful (and despite what they say) popular feature and tries to spin it like its doing everyone a favor. Really? It’s pathetic. 100 hour is literally nothing. The last full playthrough of a game I have saved on my channel as highlights was just over 200 hours. So you’re telling my that I’ll no longer to keep a full playthrough of anything saved on your glorious platform. Nice.
I’ll be starting my 6th year on Twitch shortly and have over 2600 hours of all my playthgroughs, complete with chat history here. And you’re just going to take it away without even having the decency to offer me the option to keep any of it beyond 100 hours. Really pathetic. I’d gladly give up a percentage of my monthly payout to go towards hosting costs to keep my highlights and collections intact. But you can’t even be bothered to offer that, just going to nuke everything.
If Twitch isn’t making enough money for Jeff to cover hosting costs maybe he should just sell it to someone who actually cares about the users. But I know hosting is hard. If only there was some huge coproration that you could aquire cloud storage from...
Years of gaming history from thousands of people is just going to be wiped out. Bravo! Can’t wait until your next attempt to shoot yourself in the foot.
