Twitch Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Rob (@JustRobPlays) reported@TwitchSupport If the new system is “based on historical data” how does that work when 80% of Twitch’s top streamers have been accused of viewbotting or getting botted for years? This just rewards the biggest cheaters... Fix discovery/ranking instead. Also, fire Dan Clancy @TwitchSupport
-
Noah mejia (@Noahmejia11) reported@TwitchSupport I just got unfairly banned because my acc was hacked. Plz help 🙁
-
Will Beave (@MagicBeave) reported@NuCaloric @TwitchSupport Please seek mental help
-
Cafer (@Caferr42) reported@vivovicko @TwitchSupport Got mine back w/Talon_Nerd, maybe she can help.
-
Mura 🫐 (@Mura_VT) reported@TwitchSupport So is this fixing the issues with lurkers not being counted or????
-
Joysulem - The Demon Lord VT (@Joysulem) reported@Shocktrue @TwitchSupport Sounds like a personal problem. In 2026 Gmail literally asks for your phone number for recovery. Banks, Discord and almost every major service does the same. If you can’t verify a simple account, maybe your views shouldn’t count toward a streamer’s analytics and monetization. Or… are we protecting the viewbot side here? 🤔 You can literally buy a prepaid phone for $30 if you’re worried about privacy. No monthly contract needed. Real viewers can verify in 30 seconds. Bot farms cannot scale it cheaply.

MadameMommaCatt (@BigMommaCatt) reported@MrDoniedinosaur @TwitchSupport @TwitchSupport please fix this
-
**** (@crashoverride) reported@stale2000 @TwitchSupport Yea, surely with their track record, and the statement of it being “challenging”, they have historical data of real viewership. 😬 If that’s the case, they owe a lot of money back to people they had no problem taking it from. Luckily for us we really only have to watch one streamer on that platform to tell if any change is being made (or if it’s pick and choose).

Junosasagawa (@Junosasagawa) reported@MrDoniedinosaur @TwitchSupport Yo @TwitchSupport can yo get this fix please !!
-
sheyt (@sheyt_t) reported@Vir9ine_ @Twitch @TwitchSupport my broski needs some help🙏
-
Maillo (@conky_natan) reported@FF_XIV_EN @Twitch @TwitchSupport help ok
-
coolcolinc (@coolcolinc) reported@Ariaeylisse17 @Twitch @TwitchSupport Same issue here
-
Cthulu_VT (@CthuluVt) reported@TwitchSupport This is immediately going to get exploited by people trying to harm creators/streamers and is a terrible idea
-
HYPA VOX⚡️⚠️ Momocon 2026【VIVINEO】💛 (@HYPAVOX) reported@TwitchSupport Why does every update for a problem just make things worse? Its getting impressive 🥲
-
Phil (@trollied) reported@TwitchSupport Sadly this means bad actors can pay to view bot somebody else & give them issues. You need a different approach.
-
Denzel (@DenzelTwitch) reported@TwitchSupport It is the same issue that plagues game relying on anticheat etc like Rust. You need active moderation and people checking into things. Don't cheap out hire trust worthy non biased people to investigate reports. Real people fix real problem.
-
Caz ⛓️❤️🔥 (@CazSpella) reported@TwitchSupport So what you are saying: People that not only hit partner through clear viewbotting but also have been actively promoted on your frontpage whilst doing so will not suffer retroactive consequences. Victims of botting-attacks will be punished instead of releasing a lasting fix
-
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.

PhillyDawgsRUs 😈🦅 (@itszairebitches) reported@waveswizdom @TwitchSupport @Twitch No this is crazy work. Banned for what ??? Hope they resolve this for you . Looking forward to the next stream
-
Joysulem - The Demon Lord VT (@Joysulem) reported@SugmaDick20 @TwitchSupport Sounds a personal problem is 2026. Adapt or get left behind peasant.
-
⋆🌙 ⋆ CTRL+F:『🐇』🎧🔜 MomoCon + FRI RAVE (@FindTheRabbit) reported@SokkzVr @TwitchSupport :( Just thought this exactly. What can a streamer do to counter this? Is there a protocol of we notice someone is boosting our channel? Do we just end stream and submit a ticket? What can be done in this situation? How would we know if its subtle enough to get us in trouble?
-
RiSE - NalyoGaming on YT🎮(J.Nally) (@RiseUp44) reported@TwitchSupport Someone correct me if I am wrong but because Twitch can't figure out a way to actually fix the problem they will put a cap on top with a guess rather than actually fixing the issue. This is just silly!
-
MF JEWM (@MF_JEWM) reported@TwitchSupport there are also bots that mass report people to get them banned and no actual people work at support to help. speaking from experience
-
. (@sannytrades) reported@Drexler06_ @asianjeff @TwitchSupport he has multiple times with no response, public tweets like these are shown to work so that gif is you lol
-
Chris Smithmyer (@CSmithmyer) reported@TwitchSupport Unfortunately all I see is a system ripe for abuse. We've already seen someone get bots sent to their channel to get them in trouble on purpose. It could be circumvented by having actual people talk to the streamer, but I have little/no faith in that happening.
-
Pagan Pegasus (@PaganPegasus) reportedNo this is actually crazy @TwitchSupport are you not gonna acknowledge that the UK/EU and apparently even some NA servers were NOT sending streams back to users yesterday? The servers were taking streams and saving VODs, but NO viewers could watch live in those regions?
-
Crisendo (@Crisendo) reported@TwitchSupport Hey Twitch, maybe it’s time to remove public view counts? It’s become mostly an ego metric. Traditional TV never shows live viewers to the audience. Sponsors already get proper analytics behind the scenes. Would take a huge chunk out of the viewbotting problem.
-
Nick Reineke (@RockLeeSmile) reported@Crazy_Gamer_2 @thefanification @TwitchSupport Respectfully, that doesn't really address the question. How did you find out this issue was a real policy, or is it an issue that "feels" like a problem and people are assuming it's real? I'm just trying to understand if I missed something here.
-
Justice Play (@JusticePlay_) reported@TwitchSupport Hello! I have encountered an issue where I can't submit any additional information on Affiliate onboarding form under "Payout Method" menu. Any advices? Tried Linux Firefox, Chromium and Windows Firefox and Edge. Still didn't really help.
-
Kit / Reiko (@xoReiko_) reported@ZuniUK @TwitchSupport Oh hell no someone help this man
