@TwitchSupport@djclancy999 Creators: ‘Can you stop the botting?’
Twitch: ‘Best we can do is tank your discoverability metrics instead.’
At this point Twitch being completely self-sabotaging is so on brand it may as well be in the Terms of Service.
@TwitchSupport "Oh shit, everyones pissed off after the last announcement. Release that new feature that will encourage viewers to give them MORE money. Yes, this will fix everything!"
From the creators of: “We take 50% of what you earn, and you need to reach $100 to cash out.”
Comes the sequel: “We still keep your money, and now you can’t even withdraw it.”

@Tristi_Mp4@TwitchSupport Also saying “3 average viewers isn’t a huge deal” is insanely out of touch when loads of people struggle to hit that for months. The Affiliate requirements existed to push people to actually learn engagement and consistency before unlocking the extras.
@Tristi_Mp4@TwitchSupport You just don’t get it” isn’t an argument btw. If your point only works when you imply the other person is stupid, it’s probably not that strong.
And no, this doesn’t magically “grow the platform.” Twitch’s problem has never been a lack of emotes or channel points.
@Tristi_Mp4@TwitchSupport “Tools empower creators” is corporate baby-talk. Progression matters. If everyone gets the rewards instantly, Affiliate becomes meaningless. Might as well hand out Partner badges too and call it empowerment.
@Tristi_Mp4@TwitchSupport “The payout is still for affiliates” brother I GIVE my payouts to charity. The entire incentive was unlocking emotes/channel points as a milestone. Now Twitch is just throwing them out like free breadsticks at an Italian restaurant that’s actively on fire.
@TwitchSupport Fun thought. Botters are honestly cooler than vtubers. 1 guy just quietly buys 400 fake viewers and moves on. The other has a fully rigged anime mouse model named “Toaster” & says “hehe chat you’re being so parasocial today.” while having 14 physics sliders & shit talking AI art.
🚨 This is not a drill. 🚨

Crazy to think that the founder of Infinity Ward and Respawn entertainment who made all the good CoD's and Titanfall is now the saviour of Battlefield. All praise @VinceZampella
