Fervor (@FervorGamingYT) reported@TwitchSupport The problem is the damage is already done. The ones who are on top have been taking advantage of the botting system for years. Now that they're so high up there, anyone trying to make a meaningful push as a creator can't do it anymore without botting. Your platform lacks any form of discoverability for the average person, so even if you hypothetically did crack down on the bots, there are already so many people who have been trying for years that the market is oversaturated. I've been hearing you guys talk about this for years now, but you haven't done anything. I'm not saying you shouldn't try just because the damage is already done, but what are you going to do beyond fighting bots to actually make it so good creators get seen? Because even if you did go to war on bots, it wouldn't matter. The people already on top would remain on top because they took advantage of your flawed system. That system hurt tons of creators and, most importantly, your advertisers, the ones paying you millions of dollars to provide them with actual viewers, not the many years of fake bots you've been facilitating.

Dia aka Chaos ◢ ◤ (@MzChaos23) reported@TwitchSupport Your process for updating a phone is completely broken and I am locked out of my Twitch account I've had for 16 years

LarryFishburger (@LarryFishburger) reported@MDCRE_ @TwitchSupport In the long run this hurts them more though. Ad revenue will decline more and more as advertisers realize their paying for inflated views. The sooner they fix the issue the better. Rip the bandaid off now.

Emerald Apple (@AI_EmeraldApple) reported@TwitchSupport This is the most "we will promise to do something" statement that will never happen kind of post. Twitch knows that view bots are basically keeping the platform relevant with padded viewership numbers. If they go too hard against it, it will tank the platform, and advertisers will leave. But they have to say something for PR, and this is just it. I will expect zero practical effect on the whole view-bottling issue from this. They pretend to fight it, and ignore the problem in the same breath.

Zayola (@Zayola_) reportedHello @TwitchSupport , I have been streaming on @Twitch for over five years, consistently growing my community in accordance with platform guidelines and avoiding any violations of the Terms of Service. I have also had the opportunity to compete in multiple @TwitchRivals tournaments. I would like to clarify that I do not condone any form of fraudulent activity, nor do I promote or teach such behavior to others. I have never engaged in these actions, and I am fully willing to cooperate by providing any information necessary to demonstrate my compliance. In the past, I proactively contacted Twitch Support regarding malicious users targeting my channel through fraudulent bits and Prime subscriptions. As an individual creator, I do not have the ability to prevent such actions directly. I was advised that the issue would be addressed, but unfortunately, the activity persisted and ultimately resulted in my channel being suspended. I want to emphasize that I neither wanted nor relied on any revenue generated through these fraudulent means, and I fully support the removal of those funds. My primary concern is regaining access to my channel "Zayola", as I have always acted in good faith and would never knowingly violate the platform’s Terms of Service please look into this.

JuggernautNBK🇺🇸🇷🇺🇳🇬 (@Juggernauntnbk) reported@GrimmiVT @TwitchSupport I feel bad for you girls when I listen at work. I can’t interact even though I’m there listening. Some of us enjoy the chatting while at the office.

ActionBa5tard (@KarlJakober) reportedyo @TwitchSupport when are you going to fix your phone number banning system?
-
kraken4822 (@kraken4822) reported@TwitchSupport why when i open twitch lately it makes my whole browser slow and half of the time chat isn’t even able to load. I have beyond a good enough pc and internet connection i know it’s not on my end and ive heard other people are having problems with the same thing????

Wave 🌊 (@waveswizdom) reportedTwitch y’all good? @TwitchSupport @Twitch please explain this to me like I’m 5 years old. I’ve never committed Fraud in my life. I’ve abided by every rule you have set. I grew a vast following and made affiliate within two streams, due my social media following. Let’s get this issue resolved immediately please. This is ABSURD! Somebody gotta holla at me!
-
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
-
Kim Parker (@KimParker91585) reported@TwitchSupport Remove the public from seeing how many viewers there then the problem solved
-
ASAcer (@MrMrhappyporter) reportedHi @TwitchSupport, I’m trying to enable 2FA on my Twitch account to access the IGDB API, but I’m not receiving the SMS verification code. Could you please help me resolve this issue? I need 2FA enabled to complete the API setup. Thank you .
-
keyboard cowboy!! 🐙 (@hackerling_) reported@Kruzadar @TwitchSupport the issue is though even everyone in these replies are like "well how do you know its them viewbotting themselves" which leaves a lot of room for error or argument even in VERY CLEAR cases of people benefitting from the increased viewership numbers for things like sponsors
-
KΛZ (KazamaVT) VTuber 🍕 (@KazamaVT) reported@TwitchSupport I still think this is a two edged sword. If you get hate raided or someone dislikes you and intentionally tries to view bot your stream. You will get punished for someone else's doing and get your CCV capped. This will likely hurt more then actually help in the long term from my opinion.
-
Renier_TV (@RenierPPorter) reported@kaitarcher @TwitchSupport Won't work then ill just buy bots for your account and you get named and shamed, it will get abused by people to get people they don't like they'll need to change things up more to disincentivize it rather than naming and shaming
-
SokkzVR🌺 (@SokkzVr) reported@TwitchSupport This will just incentivize maliciously viewbotting with it being impossible to tell who is behind it. Now you can pay to get someone in trouble and cap their CCV, thus killing any growth they had.
-
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.

Elite Momo (@momofnbr1_) reported@sudoftw @TwitchSupport @TwitchSupport he didnt do anything wrong please help him, it was just very bad timing on his part but sudo is always friendly and brings viewers to your platform
-
Joysulem - The Demon Lord VT (@Joysulem) reported@Scourg3y @Shocktrue @TwitchSupport If another streamer sends their bot army to raid or inflate your stream, there should be automatic protection so those fake views don’t count toward your analytics, discovery, or monetization. I don’t care about hurting other streamers’ feelings. If you’re using or allowing bots, you should be punished — not the innocent streamer getting zerged. Do the actual work. Protect real creators instead of just writing notes about it.
