Twitch wants your private info

I used Twitch for years and of the blue they locked my chat until I give them my private phone number. I wrote to them asking why is this being done as I have not done anything to warrant this. I asked if all users are being made to do this? This was their responce.

We want to keep chat safe and fun for everyone! So sometimes we require users to verify their account with a mobile phone number before participating in chat or messaging with whispers

They would never give me a reason and on the 3rd email closed the case with no answer. This is a shady company that wants your info to sell it. This is why they would not answer my questions. Be warned. If they do this to you just make a new account and keep your private info safe.

I still have the emails as proof and plan on contacting their parent comany Amazon about this also.

Twitch: A Corporate Dystopia You Can’t Survive Without Adblock

Twitch has plummeted into the depths of corporate greed, transforming into a dystopian nightmare for its users. Ever since being acquired by what I call “Scamazon,” Twitch’s sole focus has been on exploiting its community for profit. They’ve rolled out a devious system, which I’ve named “adforce”: streams are sabotaged by fake “errors” to coerce viewers into refreshing, only to be bombarded by a relentless barrage of ads. It’s not one ad—it’s three excruciatingly long 30-second ads, repeatedly, ensuring that watching Twitch without a paid membership feels like a punishment rather than entertainment.

But the horrors don’t end there. Without adblockers like uBlock Origin, the platform is completely unusable. Twitch has weaponized its ad system, making viewing a free stream practically impossible without taking matters into your own hands. Don’t delay—install uBlock Origin today! It’s your only defense against their shameless ad bombardment.

And as for the creators, Twitch has coined a misleading term for their unpaid labor—calling them “ambassadors,” when in reality, it’s exploitation disguised as opportunity. Scamazon’s influence has turned Twitch into a dystopian factory of corporate greed, extracting every ounce of value from viewers and creators alike.

Twitch isn’t just broken—it’s willingly sabotaging itself for profit. If you’re not ready to pay, this platform won’t respect your time, your patience, or your dignity. Avoid it at all costs, or arm yourself with the tools to survive the assault.

I’m writing to Twitch, again. About Bully ( MaxxTheSlayer )

I’m writing to Twitch, again. About Bully, MaxxTheSlayer. ( goes by Maxxy , on social media sometimes). Who still constant bullied me, behind social media. She even stalks me on Discord Server, which Discord are aware and so is LA police too. But is disrespectful, is that Twitch has put her, into the Twitch Black Guild female list. Even, though they know about the bullying situation towards me. As many times, I have told them on Twitch/ etc. I find disrespectful and discrimination against me. When I’m a person too!!!!!!!!!!! ( 2021 - present , still happening. Behind social media ).

Website where pure hatred is tolerated

Twitch was already joke but lately it's gotten even worse, absolutely disgusting website.

Some recent examples of twitch's moderation team's decisions:
Supporting republicans, Trump, Elon, Nationalism or traditional values?
Twitch be like: "Such vile scum, how dare they, 30 day / permaban without warning!".

Meanwhile also on twitch:
Promoting hate speech, violence, terrorism, political assassination, the genocide of jews / white people or calling on viewers to mass report a streamer to CPS cause they have a different opinion?
Twitch be like: "Uggggh fiiiiine, I guess we'll give them a 1 day ban cause people are complaining".

Remember, these are actual outcomes / decisions by employees whom are paid to be objective in applying the TOS/rules of this, this is not a joke, this is the sadly true.

Do not support this company, do not spend a single penny here, personally I barely ever use it as I'm a cultured man and prefer youtube (lol okay boomer), but stuff like this just makes me steer way clear of twitch.

twitch is pro terrorism, unless your not hamas liker

twitch will "ban" a pro terrorist streamer for 1 day 13hrs yet if someone shows clips of the pro terrorist streamer (these clips never got said pro terrorist streamer in trouble) they'll get a 30 day ban, twitch openly supports terrorism, either that or the incompetence amongst the twitch staff is on levels unfathomable by the average mortal mind

TWITCH IS A LET DOWN AVOID !!!

Well twitch what a disappointment you are I’ve been streaming for a good little while now and I’ve been suspended for no reason what so ever the stream in question I wasn’t talking to anyone the worst I said was oh yah bastard as I was playing a indie ski game I then have my stream shut down mid stream and I’ve been suspended for 7 days this company doesn’t allow free speech and had an unreal amount of people that get away with being half naked so at the end of the day yeah I had fun but twitch has ruined the whole streaming experience and the fun I was having is staying in the past because I will never see streaming the same way again as I asked for evidence as I knew for a fact I done nothing wrong Iam now sitting wondering what should I do as it’s streaming that helped with my mental health but who cares we live in a world where people like the people that work at twitch just sit behind a desk and just suspend you cause someone obviously doesn’t like the fact you can have fun alone literally playing a single player game

Hit by far too many Ads at times when I want to view content (I.E end game in PUBG) I'm not a streamer, just want to watch but forced to watch 9 adverts for around 3 minutes.

To remove the Ads, £16 per month.... Are you serious? Greed of the highest level. Extremely poor.

Funny how twitch advertise their APP as an average 4.6/5, very different here where you can actually leave a review!!

Only hires simps

This is a site selling itself under the pretense of video game streaming, in reality it makes almost all of it's money by openly ignoring it's own ToS, only enforcing said ToS and rules on males and allowing females to do literally anything they want, which has resulted in it being a site that streams softcore corn almost exclusively.

If a guy makes a joke about his own family = ban, whereas there are easy to find instances of women having sex on stream, hitting pets, saying slurs and being completely naked with their camera pointed directly at their spread cheeks and they either don't get banned at all or get banned for 3 minutes.

They banned the word "simp" because that is their hiring policy, if you are a worthwhile human being who can hold people of both genders to equal standards you do not belong, if you are a desperate loser who will fawn over literally any female and not only allow but actively help them violate twitchs own conditions then you are hired on the spot.
In this same vein, males are banned with no rhyme or reason, while females are not bound to any standards whatsoever, nor are faceless scam streams, someone can be streaming for a long time, accidentally be in the wrong category because they forgot to update when changing game and they'll be in trouble, meanwhile accounts pop up all the time very clearly illegally streaming copyright protected media like family guy, american dad, nicolas cage marathons, marvel marathons, bobs burgers etc etc and they are not penalized either, there are certain accounts I wont name that have been doing this for years, they might get "banned" once or twice a year for 2 days and then they are back. So twitch terms of service are all lies, illegal streams are permitted, illegally streaming content you dont have the rights to is permitted, nudity is permitted if female, sex on camera in front of children is permitted if the primarily visible body is female, literal porn is permitted if performed by female and males are held not to any rules or consistent standards, instead they are held to the whims of whatever desperate simp employee see's them at any point in time, if said simp just threw money at a random woman and she didn't respond the male streamer will be banned for a month,

The lack of morals or common sense doesn't end there, I had a username that was a self deprecating joke, my way of dealing with a condition I have, it contained zero words that could even possibly be misconstrued as "offensive" my account was banned with zero reason given, when I appealed it was denied with zero reason given, meanwhile there are countless accounts with usernames I am unable to say here, but ones that contain unmissable slurs.

lastly, lets not forget they lowered the payout to the people who print them money, twitch do nothing, they dont advertise, they don't bring in advertisers, they don't help streamers land sponsorships, they don't liaise between creators and companies to keep everyone happy and money rolling in, literally all twitch do is maintain servers, which even then they aren't good at it, yet twitch declared that they "work" so hard they need to take more money off the only reason anyone has ever clicked their site to begin with. The streamers, regardless of whether I agree with what they stream or not, they are the one and only reason twitch is not a long forgotten name, twitch reap the rewards of other peoples time and consistency while bringing literally nothing to the table themselves so making their cut even larger just because they want more money is objectively scummy, in a sane world it would not be legal

Twitch have been taking money monthly...

Twitch have been taking money monthly out of my account for a subscription service I have never used! Despite being assured that this had been cancelled and that I'd receive a full refund about a year ago, no refund has been received and money is still coming out of my account. Every time I try to deal with their incompetent customer services, I have to send out full details of all transactions, which I do. Then receive the stock response basically saying "we can't find these payments, nothing we can do". I doubt they've ever even looked. I'm about to take legal action, however they can't even respond about where a letter before action should be addressed to.

Terrorist Platformers

Twitch still as of today platforms Hasan Piker, who has featured Houthi terrorists and tried to show them and their group multiple times in a positive light and even played their propaganda videos. He has said how he "don't really have a issue with" Hezbollah, a murderous fascist terrorist group. He has also described himself as a propagandist (someone who lies for political gain) and described how he uses lighter messaging to nudge impressionable people in the direction of his unhinged views. Twitch, despite him breaking their TOS numerous times, continues to platform him. Based on the evidence I have seen, it appears that Twitch is systemically far leftist, and they are okay with this. As long as Twitch has this scum as well as others like Frogan on their platform they should be blocked at an ISP level.
