  @TwitchSupport It's nice to see people now would be able to add chat interactions for streams from get go. Maybe will help some to get a knowledge faster. Reading comments kinda saddens me though seeing some people caring over feeling privileged...

  @TwitchSupport Took me over 3 dedicated months to reach Affiliate with help from supportive friends. Waiting for emotes to load was long in the summer. But I do support friends who want to have fun without pay.

  Nathan (@x777defiance) reported 10 minutes ago

  It has been 1 year since I got suspended on @Twitch. Got Prime botted for about a week or more, and they indefinitely suspended me for that. I didn’t contact @TwitchSupport during that time since I was naive and thought my channel was actually growing since I had real chatters and viewers while playing, but turns out that could have been fake too when everyone seemed real. I explained it to them multiple times how I believe I was targeted for this since I know some people who don’t like me personally, but they don’t listen to my appeal and I just get a bot response. I’ve appealed 3 times now, but they don’t seem to care. I’ve grown as a creator on YouTube and now I want to be able to stream again on Twitch since I miss it… but it looks like that won’t ever happen again due to Twitch support not giving me another chance or even listening to my appeal. If anyone knows how to get their attention directly, please help me with that or tag them because I really miss streaming to the viewers that I had and interacting with them. 😭 #twitch @djclancy999

  @Joysulem @TwitchSupport That would be a terrible decision business wise. You’d be discounting legitimate viewership.

  @TwitchSupport I'm just curious if there is some kind of backend issue with the twitch mobile app notifications popping up for me the last few days. Hope you know about the issue and can fix it soon. Thanks

  @TwitchSupport Are you trying to push streamers off your platform? You do know there is a way to prevent bots from making an account to begin with. Not only that but can also Prevent, not help stop or potentially help but 100% Stop further veiw botting from happening in the future.

  @TwitchSupport am i wrong to think this won't create a worse money laundering problem on twitch with new accounts?

  AllSmite (@AllSmiteTTV) reported 27 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport This I really do like I do have one concern though that it would cause a lot of spam for people who might be following a lot of streamers. My Question would be does this only work if the streamer is active for the milestones to be active for viewer?

  @Joysulem @TwitchSupport Doesn't work because you can buy phone numbers from VoIP services. The only reliable way to prevent viewbotting is to make the entire site require the authenticator even to register as a viewer.

  izidore (@izidoreX) reported 30 minutes ago

  Dear @twitchsupport, I am a twitch streamer of 8 years, I previously submitted an appeal through the Twitch appeals portal regarding the 30-day suspension issued to my account "izidore" for “Sharing Private Information,” but I have not yet received a response. After reviewing the policy, I believe this enforcement may have been made in error, as I did not share any viewer’s private information. If a specific clip or message was flagged, I respectfully request a manual review of the content and surrounding context. I take viewer privacy seriously and would greatly appreciate another look at the evidence associated with this suspension. Thank you for your time.  @MikeMinton @djclancy999

  @TwitchSupport Give me an affiliate badge...but why make it to where everyone can get it. Let me start a new account and just give everything. Like we had to work for all that...now its thrown out?

  @TwitchSupport @Twitch @djclancy999 Please help her out! It sucks that there are people who would go as low as stealing money from hard working single mom who does this for a living to support her kids Please fix this for her

  @TwitchSupport Emotes okay… but subs? Bits? So why did I work hard to be an affiliate…

  Robert "Sirius" Wolf (@TheSiriusWolf) reported 38 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport So, is this going to -actually- work, or will it be like the last time you tried to "combat it", and people with legit viewers lost CCV?

  @TwitchSupport Twitch discovery is terrible for new streamers , it gives no hope for anyone to even start streaming

  Hey @TwitchSupport @djclancy999 I hate to be that person, but it seems very obvious that this issue is being ignored. Maybe because it's only happening to a few smaller creators so "they don't matter as much", maybe it's because we're not loud enough, maybe it's because y'all are already working on a fix and just haven't said anything about it yet, I don't know, but I'm betting my *** that it's not because you care about smaller creators Multiple of us had our accounts broken into without warning, without notification, and without 2FA ever being triggered. Our banking info was changed and our money was taken. I don't know about the outcome of the others this has affected, but I've tried to contact the bank and have not received a response yet. I am lucky to not currently have any more bills to pay this month, but others are not so lucky. This is our jobs. Our paychecks have been ripped away and we've been told "Damn that sucks, but we sent the money to *your* listed bank so that's not our fault" when this is very much partly your fault. Having us use to 2FA to "safeguard" our account while both A. Not having something as simple as a quick "hey was this you" email when someones payment info is changed and B. someone SOMEHOW bypassed your 2FA system entirely to steal money from your creators. That is a terrifying thing and a genuinely ****** up thing If nothing, you need to acknowledge where you ****** up and that the issue needs to be found and fixed. I get it may not be easy, but leaving people in the dark about an insanely big security issue is WILD.

  @TwitchSupport Fix your app for TV. It is very bad. You have to uninstall and reinstall every time you want to watch. Also look at your feedback on the app.

  @TwitchSupport Wait, but how would this work for taxes? If Twitch shows that a streamer earned “x” amount but they can’t actually cash it out to their bank yet, that’s still taxable income. Would Twitch still report those earnings on their end even if the creator never received a payout?

  @TwitchSupport sorry to be a pest but I have to ask a bit of a noob question, how do you make chat appear on screen during a Twitch Stream because any chat messages on my streams currently only appear in OBS? Any help would be appreciated as I want to make my stream tidier.

  @BigD_204 @TwitchSupport its a hard game out there, it took me like 2 years and i only managed that because i got lucky with enough friends come into my chat. and it wasn't like i was not working on improving my stream, my ability as a creator or the skills for the field. in many regards a creator can be doing all the right things and even then due to a lack of proper discoverability features it makes it hard to get that affiliate.

  Conductor Savy 🚂🐐🔞 (@ConductorSavy) reported 1 hour ago

  @LushenAZN @TwitchSupport You're missing the point here dude. What you're suggesting sounds good on paper, but the reality is it won't work and will hurt the creators regardless. If you think they can simply go and sue every current viewbot service into oblivion, you're out of your mind because it's likely they can't reach some of them due to them being based in another country. Would it be nice for them to do that? Hell yeah, taking down a viewbot service will greatly help... if only another didn't pop up in its place a few hours later doing the same exact thing. And again, the issue here is how the creators are being affected. Regardless if it was the creator, someone in their community, or a malicious user out of their community, because the traffic of the viewbots went to their channel they will be punished whether they wanted it or not. Say I piss someone off because of a comment I made. That person then sends viewbots at my channel, and twitch enforces on it. That hurts me, and I have no way to prove I didn't order the bots myself. I have no clue which service was used with the viewbots because the accounts involved with the viewbotting raid won't say the service they're from and the service is likely using VPNs to mask the bot's actual IP address. Say someone in my community decides they want to help boost my CCV. Instead of legitimately getting friends and family to watch as well, they purchase from one of these viewbot services instead. That will hurt me when Twitch does enforcement on my channel because of the traffic. I didn't buy them, but just like the above I'm harmed because of it and have no way to prove it wasn't me. Using either of the above examples, it's going to hurt me because then I can't benefit from my actual CCV of real people there because the botters forced an enforcement that forces my CCV lower than it should be depending on how big the bot waves are. So tell me how slicing off the head of the hydra will help me when two more heads replace the one that was taken off. You know how much money and time Twitch will then have to invest into finding these services to get rid of? It's likely more than the resources they have available, and they'll likely put those resources towards ****** AI moderation that'll go hard on creators regardless of the source of the viewbots that target their channels, harming them more instead of fixing the problem with authentic viewers. At this point I'd rather a captcha service of some sort be done basically serving as a "Are you still there?" type of deal that shows up in different forms that the legitimate users can solve but takes the AIs of the bots much longer to do and figure out.
