you get banned for nothing, and when you report situations that are a serious violation, you get a response that you didn't violate the rules, what a pathetic platform of hypocrites

Twitch is the worst streaming platform

Twitch is the worst streaming platform out there! since amazon owns it! Amazon is a money grab! (scam) now also twicth advertising every 10 minutes in a stream. you can BUY a TURBO SUBSCRIPTION! WHAT do they think they are netflix or something! Twitch really needs to stop. and key the doors with amazon. Watching streams shouldn't cost money. Creating streams shouldn't cost money! Twitch has always been free, hardly any advertising, but since amazon ownership it has gotten worse every year since 2014, now 10 years later and twitch sucks. and as far as customer service is concerned. all peasants and rude people together. Just cut it because you are the biggest deceitful people out there. with your advertising. In Europe, advertising spam is punishable, did you know that? no, of course not. because you don't know what quality is in your Amazon shop.

Corporatism:

Corporatism:

Been a member of justin.tv back in time and pretty much the whole timeline during twitch's foundation and expansion.

Basically this will be a red pill comment and is a cry for their ads and the lack of number of staff that they hire or firing the old experienced ones to replace with ones lack of experience and/or incompetence just to spend less on their wages to make more profit.

This greedy approach that we are living in is unbearable. Also something I literally pray for it to stop everyday.

I hope they will change the direction of these corporations as people raise their conscience and increase their skill of figuring out the causality. ( talking about financial bad boys institution that I'm not even gonna bother giving examples.

If one day, more than %49 of the population figures out how our financial world spins around it's axis, we will put a stop to their way of profit seeking-bloodlust entities, then we might just be able to change the direction that they/we are going.

I feel like real people "at least" have a logical explanation to being greedy. but these big corporations and their shareholders? Why are we letting them act like they have to be infinitely rich?

Good luck to you all, and please keep staying positive. It's all good.

Used twitch for madden video game…

Used twitch for madden video game drops. The platform is dishonest about the time of events also if you open a case they will just say the review it and give no help. It is a waste of time. I would use YouTube for the events you want to watcj

£6:49 are u mad

I cannot believe that in these harder times a multi billion pound company has raised it's tier 1 subscription costs to a whopping £6:49. They increased the cost earlier this year?
Money, money, money.
No percentage increase for the small streamer!
This will be the death of the small streamer who only make a pittance from thier valued followers/subscribers as it is.
This will push the limits of their followers to end up just being followers/viewers. No more subs.
Terrible, no consideration.
ALL ABOUT PROFIT!

Issue with constant Ads

- Visit friends stream
- 25 seconds Ad
- Watched stream for 10 seconds
- 1 minute Ad
- Got frozen at 57 seconds left
- Refreshed
- 30 seconds Ad

This is with both uBlock Origin and Adblock Plus. Ads make me nauseous, and you force them down my throat. This is the reason I've deleted all my accounts and stopped using your service about 2 years ago. Tried giving it a last chance, but no. Super greedy. Kick is so much better in all aspects.

Twitch support is incompetent

Twitch support is incompetent. They won't answer direct questions. They don't actually read the ticket, they just put it through a hot-word finder then run out an automated response. My ticket talked about an issue with the password reset email not coming through, and all they did was say "It sounds like u wanna reset your password!" Then proceed to give me the same stupid link to the password reset tool . . . which I explained in my ticket, wasnt working. They won't even consider helping me recover my account because I don't remember every detail I used to create it. And given the number of times I've tried to reset my password but the email never came, I wonder if they accidentally lost the account and just won't tell me.

Twitch has noticed us DJs

What has made Twitch great is that they have recognized DJs and given us our identity and a discovery opportunity on their platform.

The downside is that you can't save your live streams nor can you clip and upload :( but saying that it made it easier for people to discover DJs all over the world.
