Michael Swain aka "Old Man" (Joy's version) (@Michael50706655) reported@saga2K9 @Czernobog @TwitchSupport All the rest of what Amazon owns is working fine. All but Twitch. So when Amazon says it's gonna take 24 hours to fix the twitch issue are we to believe them or you, saga full of ****? Yes, I called Amazon and that's what they said.

Lady Sif Avellana🔥 🐿️ Massive Nuts Vtuber (@MassiveNutsSif) reportedHi @TwitchSupport i just recently moved and had to redo my onboarding again. Back in 2021 when i did the onboarding the first time i was forced to choose Paypal, as one of your fields for local bank transfer is a drop down menu instead of manual fill in. This is relevant for me as a sole proprietor, as my tax forms use my legal name but my bank account is a company account registered with the company name. I wanted to see if it would be possible for me now to use SEPA, as you recently advertised it could save EU streamers some money on fees... HOWEVER I'm still forced to use PayPal, is there any way you could help me with this? Note i did write Twitch Support back in 2021 as well...

Roger Stiller (@Roger_Stiller_) reported@Twitch Thanks Twitch for cutting my viewers in half again today with your “amazing” anti-bot system. Spoiler: it doesn’t work. Meanwhile, other channels keep viewbotting freely while you do absolutely nothing. Great job. 👏 @TwitchSupport

W'yli | Shock Rock Vtuber 👻🗡️ (@WyliKaiyotee) reported@TwitchSupport Y'all need to fix this already @Original_Shade did nothing wrong to deserve a block of any sort. You're just letting this bullshit slide clearly because smaller creators aren't a priority to you. #FreeShade already, do right by your creators regardless of size.

Stathi TTV (@HashKat2) reported@Twitch @TwitchSupport #twitch #twitchsupport how about you fix the emote "can't send any additional emotes after one emote use" issue that just appeared out of nowhere today. Otherwise, What's the point of subscribing. Samsung s23 ultra, one UI current version.

LaKesha Sanders (@LilUnique) reported@Pupcqkes @TwitchSupport I'm pretty sure it's an Android issue and it seems to be random because I know some people using Android and they're not having any issues

aCitrusFruit 🐺🩵 (@acitrusfruitt) reportedhi @TwitchSupport local deadweight streamer aCitrusFruit here! in the last YEAR i have made exactly 12 cents of ad revenue. i cross-checked with multiple streamer friends of different sizes, different CCVs, different countries and came to the conclusion that this is NOT normal. ive contacted twitch support 2 times now over the same issue regarding ad revenue and was met with the SAME response both times. (these are multiple months apart) the first time (may 6th 2026) was through the twitch support chat where i was told that ad revenue varies but that they would get back to me later about it (they didn't) the second time was an email that i sent out where i again, was just told that ad revenue varies. (response was recieved on august 16th 2026) it is clear to me that it is not being taken seriously so i'm bringing it here (sorry guys) the video i included shows me FORCEFULLY running ads to 110 people and having NOBODY get ads. ive had people who have been around for over a year tell me that they don't have a sub but they have never had an ad in my channel. id appreciate it if someone looked into it, thanks twitch support.

🥓🥔TheBaconBrotato_ (@TheBaconBrotato) reported@TwitchSupport I'm having problems with emotes in the mobile app. It let's me click on emotes in my list one time after joining a stream and then I need to manually type them in. I'm on Android.

Akuma No Tsubasa (@totmacherx) reportedI hope @twitch / @TwitchSupport will not delete all streaks that will be lost today, due to the massive outage. I can not see any streaks, bits, channelpoints or redeems on any channel at all... I am about to lose 150+ on 3 channels... :/
