After a hard thought season, happy to say that we finished third at the WRCCDC finals!
Special thank you to all who volunteered their time to help run such an amazing competition.
Learned a lot and will be coming back next year even stronger!

[WRCCDC @wrccdc]

Congratulations to the 8 qualifying teams moving onto WRCCDC 2022 Regional in March! Everyone was very impressive this year and look forward to seeing teams back next year!

This was a change that I initially noticed around 2 weeks ago and also included channel chants however, there was too little to be fully confident on however, now knowing that Twitch chants have being released, confident enough that follower emotes will very likely be a thing.

[Daylam 'tayari' Tayari @tayariCS]

Following the reveal of @Twitch chants by @zachbussey I am confident enough to say that Channel Emotes for Followers will be another new change revealed this week.
These appear to be identical to sub emotes however, instead of being restricted to subs are available to followers.

The full changes (which also include the channel chants changes since the two were pushed at around the same time): https://t.co/EqX0zkogl7

[Zach Bussey 🇨🇦 @zachbussey]

Twitch is expanding testing of a new feature called "Chants".

A mod (or the broadcaster) can initiate a chant and type a message. Viewers will be prompted to click a popover and share that same message in the chat.

@Haladmer The API COULD allow that but we have no info on whether it does or not.
Thanks to you too for this civil discussion.

[Daylam 'tayari' Tayari @tayariCS]

Twitch has unfortunately removed all elements of the Brand Safety Score from their GraphQL API.
Hopefully it is not a permanent change caused by the unjustified backlash from people completely misinterpreting that this was simply an ad targeting score.

[Daylam 'tayari' Tayari @tayariCS]

@Haladmer First of all while we can see the endpoint, we cannot access that data publicly.
I disagree with the suspension reason, I think it is a fair factor when considering how brand safe a streamer is.
For the manual rating part, we have to trust Twitch that they will use it correctly

[Daylam 'tayari' Tayari @tayariCS]

This has since being removed from Twitch's API.

[Daylam 'tayari' Tayari @tayariCS]

Twitch has added an automatic Brand Safety Score which grades how brand friendly every streamer is based on things like chat behavior, ban history, manual ratings by Twitch staff, games played, age, automod and more (See below).

I've uploaded the current Twitch GQL API schemas so people can browse it and in the next day or so I am going to fully automate it to track changes to it and more.

This is a consequence of the social media world of today as advertisements are a critical part of the revenue of social media platforms and advertisers will pay more if they know that their advertising money is being used in the most efficient way possible.

[Daylam 'tayari' Tayari @tayariCS]

This change was a good change as it would help Twitch target ads better which would help them get to the level of a YouTube on an advertising sense, thus leading to creators earning more.
Also, every other social media platform already has their own version of this implemented.

[Daylam 'tayari' Tayari @tayariCS]

@TwitchSupport Yes, this is exactly what this thread was about and this is a change that will hopefully result in an improvement for advertising campaigns on the platform. Unfortunately too few people payed attention and read that this score is being used exclusively for ad targeting measures.

[Javier Cuevas @javier_dev]

Yet another reminder that if you have a "private API" what you actually have is a "non documented public API". Every API exposed to the Internet is public.

And well, if that API is GraphQL with schema introspection enabled... then your "private API" is public AND documented 😂.

[Daylam 'tayari' Tayari @tayariCS]

@gotoMaurice Id prefer not right now since this is a very rough WIP, I just uploaded the raw introspection schemas since people wanted to see it but as soon as I automate it and clean it up, Ill let you know and then yeah sure you can link to it.

[Daylam 'tayari' Tayari @tayariCS]

@Leeo1221 For the GQL you use Twitch's public client IDs which can be easily found by inspecting the API calls on their website.
The current public client ID that Twitch uses everywhere on their website is "kimne78kx3ncx6brgo4mv6wki5h1ko".

@alex_f_k Thanks for noticing fixed the link: https://t.co/d1RhHC9Olr

@Leeo1221 Anyone can retrieve the schema for Twitch's GQL API (which is located at https://t.co/8GcQ4Xjjwy) for reference.
You can also browse it in programs with nice GUIs like GraphQL playground and other similar programs.
