Mist L (@LicavoliMist) reported from Mackenzie, Missouri.@TwitchSupport @Twitch fix this!!!! He was playing the game not the music!!!!
-
Ashni (@ashnichrist) reported@_Maral @TwitchSupport Doesn’t address the biggest issue
-
Ur Fave Libra ♡✨ (@BigDawggNik__) reportedI’m going to assume the people who work for @Twitch @TwitchSupport are people who don’t fully understand English. I’ve been explaining my issue for over 24 hours and they still don’t freaking understand. Why the hell is the only mode of contact email? I’m so damn annoyed

Kyuuen 💽📒- 2026 Arc 2: Battling Immovable (@Kyuu4U) reported@zachbussey Well, I got 150 bits last year for haggling with Twitch Support for a month - they pretty much sent it to me as a middle finger after they completely failed to help. Still have it. Never spent it, never will (nor will I buy any more). @Twitch @TwitchSupport

Nathan (@x777defiance) reported@TwitchSupport @Twitch @djclancy999 please help me get my account back and manually review my appeals please. I am tired of the bot responses.
-
Infinite (@Beyond_Dark_TM) reported@TwitchSupport How about fire that retard and fix your platform. Why do some people get special treatment on your platform while others are banned for less offenses?

Joysulem - The Demon Lord VT (@Joysulem) reported@Scourg3y @Shocktrue @TwitchSupport If another streamer sends their bot army to raid or inflate your stream, there should be automatic protection so those fake views don’t count toward your analytics, discovery, or monetization. I don’t care about hurting other streamers’ feelings. If you’re using or allowing bots, you should be punished — not the innocent streamer getting zerged. Do the actual work. Protect real creators instead of just writing notes about it.

nick (@NickkToast) reported@Joysulem @TwitchSupport That would be a terrible decision business wise. You’d be discounting legitimate viewership.

Ceri Lokison 🐊🥚 {1.0 Debut} (@GatorceriVT) reported@SinfulSiii @TwitchSupport I don't, but also, my problem is if you do not touch that money in 2 years because you are wanting it to go towards you first ever Twitch payout, Twitch starts taking that money from you so you will have a smaller payout than plan so they are forcing you to use it on Twitch so they don't have to pay you still. I don't mind non-affiliates having emotes, sub badges, and channel points because I feel like that makes your stream more interactive so you can get to affiliate faster. It's the fact they tell affiliates **** you, your work isn't **** since you're not partner because none of partners **** is being shared with affiliates. There should be more benefits for affiliate, otherwise Twitch just became another Kick without the horrible people.

SimplyChris クリス (@simplychristv) reported@TwitchSupport I think other than that, you should rework the lurk system. It's really difficult for a small streamer to grow if lurkers are counted as bots, it doesn't help.

keyzking01 (@keyzking01) reported@TwitchSupport i need help please im not receiving confirmation code i was trying to on 2fa but im not receiving message on my phone

⚚ ❦︎ 𝓜𝓪𝓯𝓲𝓪𝓜𝓸𝓬𝓱𝓲 ❦︎ ⚚ | ENVtuber| (@TheMafiaMochi) reported@Twitch @TwitchSupport My Whole VOD is gone. I have save past broadcast turned on so I can go in and view my streams before I publish them. My most recent stream I was playing Vrchat hanging out with a friend in a private world but my VOD is just GONE. I had content that I needed to pull from this VOD but now I cant. Why is my VOD just gone? If you can recover it please help a small creator out...
-
Dr. Amir (@DrAmirGG) reportedImagine getting banned for “purchase fraud” because someone sent fake subs to your channel and then tried to extort you. @TwitchSupport @Twitch I have evidence. Doctor in Norway, partnered creator, invited to DreamHack + Riot events... I have nothing to gain from this. Someone who could help me get this message to the right people? Thank you
-
LetsPlayNintendoITA (@LPNintendoITA) reported@vengent @TwitchSupport just report the issue immediately. if you don't report it its deliberate
-
Hertz☄️🛰 (@HertzVT) reported@TwitchSupport The companies who sell bots dont care if its the person who owns the channel or not. So this will just encourage people to throw bots at streamers they dont like to try and get them in trouble. I hope you guys manage a good solution eventually, I don't think this one is it.
-
Mura 🫐 (@Mura_VT) reported@TwitchSupport So is this fixing the issues with lurkers not being counted or????
-
Wills Smith (@WillsSmithcc) reported@LukasAllgood @TwitchSupport Same issue here, MeganCode got everything sorted.
-
HakureiRyan (@HakureiRyan) reported@Joysulem @thrillingd @TwitchSupport My brother in Christ these bot farms are already running racks of phones, lol. All you'd be accomplishing is the phones are used for an additional task. "You can auto detect and block" yet that never happens because it's not as simple as you're thinking. As someone who actually works in relevant industry, the solutions you think are "Fix everything" buttons are more like "Break everything" buttons if the buttons even do anything at all.

KRISTYNxROSE 🥀 | The Crypt (@KristynxRose) reportedI feel like of Twitch took the time to fix their discoverability they would have a lot less issues with viewbotting and streamers “cheating” the system. But all they do is take away discoverability tools and make things worse… I will say this again @twitch @TwitchSupport…. When everyone grows on the platform…. Everyone wins… including Twitch! Don’t you want ALL your streamers growing to help keep the platform financially afloat?? Discoverability should be based on viewer interests and not number of views. People wouldn’t viewbot as much if discoverability wasn’t ZERO. This should be your main focus right now to keep our platform alive.
-
Alpaka Whacker (@AlpakaWhacker) reported@SicShotsNW @TwitchSupport Apparently that's a thing. I knew 1 or 2 subs *could* kick one off as well as higher chat activity but didn't realise a streamer gifting a (multi-month) sub in their own channel would do it P.S. Your linktree in your bio doesn't work 💛

Beana (@kbmbeana) reported@sudoftw @TwitchSupport @MichelleObama pls help this young black man
-
Frosted Fricks 💣🐦⬛ (@FrostedFricks) reported@TwitchSupport What are you going to do when people decide to weaponize viewbots against streamers? You already have a count issue for streams, now if someone is being botted by someone else, you're still going to punish them? That seems extremely unfair.
-
NyxarVT (@NyxarVT) reported@TwitchSupport Please contact me IM MORE then Willing to HELP
-
Jeff Richman 🎃🎄 (@jcrichman) reported@anniefuchsia @TwitchSupport Whitelisting seems really smart, but they might be right about embeds not being a factor. I use embeds and they definitely know where they’re being used. It’d be trivial for Twitch to blacklist domains and servers that are confirmed to be malicious.
-
no name given (@personalbrand22) reported@Noahmejia11 @TwitchSupport Twitch help this guy he saved my family
-
⚙️TKAT×ORBI || AI/Droid VT⚙️【VCAN】 (@xxTKATxx) reported@TwitchSupport Normally I dont speak about this but why not give channel points to new streamers... Make them work to become affiliate not just grant them access to pandora's box without any effort to grow.
-
Auxillion Vox | The Autistic Tech-Priest (@Verpi_) reported@Twitch @TwitchSupport i don't get veryfication code on my phone i can't login
-
GPHustlaKICK (@GPHustla) reported@Onepeg @TwitchSupport @PartyChipLIVE Good luck, my backup account got banned for generating too much ad revenue in 1 month so it got flagged for fraud in their broken fraud detection algorithm. So my main partnered channel got banned for evasion. 4 years later I’m still suspended
-
Conductor Savy 🚂🐐🔞 (@ConductorSavy) reported@HermesVtuber @TwitchSupport No, you skipped over the whole concern and inserted a question I never asked. I wasn’t asking what will happen, I was asking what the creator can do when there is no way for the, to prove it wasn’t them. There is no way a creator can prove it isn’t them doing the viewbotting. If someone in their community or a malicious user view bots them, it hurts the creator when the creator did nothing to warrant the enforcement. It doesn’t help the creator be able to prove it wasn’t them because the traffic still went to their channel. The way this is worded is the creator is ****** either way regardless of the source of the viewbotting, and this is what has me worried when it’s someone out of their control especially. It will hurt creators, because the viewbots can and have been weaponized in the past to hurt channels.

feckerfloat (@feckerfloat) reported@TermitesRGood @BestfriendKick @TwitchSupport Show me all her details, because this new system will help detect viewerbotting. If she maintains the same numbers, it proves she's genuine. You can't just say she should be at the bottom of the list or lose partner or affiliate status; you don't work for the platform. Ultimately, your opinion doesn't matter because Twitch makes those decisions. If they find Emily has done nothing wrong, you're just complaining for no reason. It's their platform and their call, and they don't care about your opinion.
