    @TwitchSupport the biggest issue isn't viewbotting on twitch but how much time and remuneration we have we enjoy streaming. Our Ego wont be in trouble from 1-5 or 50-100 if the paycheck each month is there

    Not cool, @TwitchSupport. Silently failing to send phone verification when I apparently have another Twitch account with the same phone number wasted so much time. I went through the flow: 1. Log into my Twitch account I used for some livestreams 2. Try to create an API key 3. It tells me I need 2FA 4. The 2FA setup requires phone verification, but I don't receive any messages. No error either. 5. Then I realized my phone number field is empty (although 2FA verification required me to enter one so I assumed it was the same thing) 6. Adding a phone number separetely finally tells me I have another account with this phone number. That I should enable 'multiple accounts with the same number' feature in the original account 7. I do that. 8. Go back to the account I wanted to use, and I don't receive any messages, when trying to add my number again. No error about number sharing though. I assume I'm simply locked out of receiving SMS messages due to 'spam'. I'd prefer to use separate accounts for personal and 'business' use.

    @TwitchSupport Hi Twitch, how can I fix this? I basically messed up. I recently verified a new account with my old main Twitch account's phone number. How can I fix it?

    @Rakunvar @TwitchSupport Yep a while back a group attacked a Minecraft server and a few of the streamers in it. Hit us with tons of bots and got told it was our problem. Have a feeling this is gonna hurt people who didn’t do anything.

  • trollied

    @TwitchSupport Sadly this means bad actors can pay to view bot somebody else & give them issues. You need a different approach.

  • feckerfloat
    feckerfloat (@feckerfloat) reported

    @TermitesRGood @BestfriendKick @TwitchSupport Show me all her details, because this new system will help detect viewerbotting. If she maintains the same numbers, it proves she's genuine. You can't just say she should be at the bottom of the list or lose partner or affiliate status; you don't work for the platform. Ultimately, your opinion doesn't matter because Twitch makes those decisions. If they find Emily has done nothing wrong, you're just complaining for no reason. It's their platform and their call, and they don't care about your opinion.

  • Thiga_TV
    Thiga_TV (@Thiga_TV) reported

    @TwitchSupport The real problem is that you don't even ban viewbots. I've already banned hundreds of viewbots in streams and reported them all using the batch function, but none of them were banned. The response I got was that there was no violation, and that's really ridiculous.

  • SowdyPlays
    Sowdy (@SowdyPlays) reported

    @TwitchSupport Serious question, what if someone goes viral and it’s all organic? The way this is worded will make it seem like the low stay low and the high stay high If this is the case you will kill your platform as new people won’t be discovered and the guys you keep top will lose interest over time, look at ninja. He used to be your biggest star and now he’s nowhere near (he is still a big streamer by every metric) Is there going to be a way for people to be discovered easier @djclancy999? A lot of your recent statements have been “get big elsewhere and we will reap the rewards” look at your clipper badges If you fix the bullshit kingmaker system then maybe… Just maybe people will be less likely to viewbot as they feel like they need those extra 50 views to be seen in your system “But our biggest streamers won’t be seen!” That’s a load of rubbish if people with 100k+ following don’t get people into their streams without being boosted by the platform then that speaks buckets about the platform

    Everytime I have a @TwitchSupport issue the response times are insane….. 4 days and still no response

  • Parental_OnX
    Parental Advisory (@Parental_OnX) reported

    @TwitchSupport Honestly, as someone who administrated and ran IRC server's for MANY years decades ago now, I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe Twitch has ever taken combatting viewbotting seriously. I KNOW fully what types of tracking and tools can be used and what information is exposed via IRC (the thing your ENTIRE chat system is based and runs within) And while some advanced botnets and systems DO exist to circumvent things legitimately, much of the actual view botting which occurs does NOT rely whatsoever on those types of systems either. It comes from imbedding and bot farms. If you TRULY want to put a stop to it, post very open public receipts EVERY time you have proof of ANY streamer doing it. STOP counting non logged in views for ANYTHING Add in PROPER human verification layers (not bloody well digital ID either) similar to X anytime inauthentic behavior is detected. And make it more and more hard for the bot providers to actually do what they do. And for god sakes, STOP basing exposure, growth, and reward on VIEW COUNTS. Take away the REASON for viewbotting and the problem disappears REAL fast.

    @MantaVT @TwitchSupport How does this work? I'm sure I have been view botted against my will once before.

  • deniskreel
    Denis Kreel (@deniskreel) reported

    @TwitchSupport Hi Twitch! I wanted to thank you for quickly resolving the issue we discussed earlier, but the alabugapolytech channel (under EU and US sanctions) shouldn't be on Twitch, as we don't know what they have in mind next. Also, I repeat, this company is UNDER SANCTIONS.

  • DormantFlame
    DormantFlame (@DormantFlame) reported

    @TwitchSupport By solving one problem you're creating a new potential one, since now bad actors could just weaponize viewbots against streamers they don't like. There are a few groups that would be overjoyed to know they could hurt a streamer so easily by viewbotting them consistently.

  • CryMoreWeirdo69
    Cry More Weirdo (@CryMoreWeirdo69) reported

    @TwitchSupport 1. So people can viewbot channels they dont like, to get them in trouble? 2. The reason why people viewbot is the way your discovery system works: people are incentivized to viewbot to get higher in the directory Fix your discovery system!

  • josepur
    Josep (@josepur) reported

    @TwitchSupport The fix is simple. Use engagement as the weight for discovery, not view count.

  • MF_JEWM
    MF JEWM (@MF_JEWM) reported

    @TwitchSupport there are also bots that mass report people to get them banned and no actual people work at support to help. speaking from experience

    @zachbussey Well, I got 150 bits last year for haggling with Twitch Support for a month - they pretty much sent it to me as a middle finger after they completely failed to help. Still have it. Never spent it, never will (nor will I buy any more). @Twitch @TwitchSupport

    @SuperWeegeeX @TwitchSupport not appear: - driver issue - outdated OBS - broken AMF install 3. On Twitch: Creator Dashboard → Settings → Stream Look for: “Enhanced Broadcasting” If it’s missing, Twitch has not enabled AV1 access for your account yet. There is no real way to force it manually. 4. Whe

    @TwitchSupport I think other than that, you should rework the lurk system. It's really difficult for a small streamer to grow if lurkers are counted as bots, it doesn't help.

  • Khalil_Akagi
    Khalil Akagi (@Khalil_Akagi) reported

    @TwitchSupport You've crucified this platform because you failed to keep the TOS and hold everyone accountable. Why ******** should anyone believe anything a clown such as yourself has to say? Even with a 50/50 cut you still aren't profitable. Maybe if you did hold your top streamers that has brought controversy to your site. You're worried about viewbotting now because you know your *** is on the chopping block and you expect some form of grace to save you from your bullshit. There are more than enough times you and your retarded moderation team had to fix this and make twitch better than ever. But you chose to have a brown nose instead. Have fun with that. **** you, Clancy.

  • JustRobPlays
    Rob (@JustRobPlays) reported

    @TwitchSupport If the new system is “based on historical data” how does that work when 80% of Twitch’s top streamers have been accused of viewbotting or getting botted for years? This just rewards the biggest cheaters... Fix discovery/ranking instead. Also, fire Dan Clancy @TwitchSupport

    @BidiotBales @Kodiak_VT @TwitchSupport How is it parasocial? Also what good work? You're blatantly ignoring the horroble **** he's done. Which leads me to two conclusions: 1. You're legitimately stupid and haven't actually watched Hasan 2. You know he's not a good person and trying to rage bait

    2. @TwitchSupport @TeamYouTube @TikTokSupport didn’t care about this until Ukrainian and pro-Ukrainian bloggers started raising the issue. And, fearing massive fines, they began blocking channels and videos containing ads.👇

  • crashoverride
    **** (@crashoverride) reported

    @stale2000 @TwitchSupport Yea, surely with their track record, and the statement of it being “challenging”, they have historical data of real viewership. 😬 If that’s the case, they owe a lot of money back to people they had no problem taking it from. Luckily for us we really only have to watch one streamer on that platform to tell if any change is being made (or if it’s pick and choose).
