Dr Tintin (@theyomap) reported@kamyarm007 @TwitchSupport it's only bad for twitch if people talk about it. Twitch could fix this issue tomorrow if they wanted to by banning embedding.
-

The Chaos Of Dragons (@Chaosmason) reportedHey @TwitchSupport people cannot view my stream atm. Is their a problem on your end?
-
KodiakVT🐻🪖 (@Kodiak_VT) reported@TwitchSupport There is a reason my numbers look better on KICK Dan. You have abused Twitch to where the world sees it as p**n instead of gaming. Viewbotting is just one of several issues. Your lead streamer is an example of your failure. Along with his orbit. That is all on you bro. Normal people see two things out of your company: A Webcam P**N Service and Hasan Shocking his dog. Thats what normal people see. I know, I have actually talked to people who dont view this as a job oppertunity. Normal People. Those two things are what twitch is known for...
-
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
-
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!

𝕴𝖉𝖗𝖎𝖑 𝕾𝖚𝖘𝖚𝖗𝖗𝖆 𝕬𝖑𝖇𝖆 (C.O) (@Idril_Susurra) reported@TwitchSupport Hello, I'm having trouble accessing my account because someone has stolen my Twitch account. They've changed the email address to a Gmail address ending in .uk. I'm Spanish. My account is linked to my mobile phone, but I can't verify my account because the hacker changed my email. What can I do in this situation?
-
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
-
FlamingDragonGaming (@Gabriel30216999) reported@TwitchSupport How is it that it seems like you guys are constantly trying to help out the bad guys
-
Queen Parlay (@ChellzDaboss) reported@waveswizdom @TwitchSupport @Twitch ****** watched the money spent on it, the quality, the growth in a short time and couldn’t stand it. I wanna email them my mf self
-
The Uninvited Guest (@guest76502) reported@TwitchSupport This is what you get when you make hundreds of people redundant and the CEO cries about viewbotting. Simple answer is how about getting the platform sorted out because streamers are sick of buffering or things that don't work in their streams. Real account verification works.
-
Timothy Mark 📝 (@BidiotBales) reported@BridgetrollP @Kodiak_VT @TwitchSupport I have absolutely no interest in talking to you lmao, unlike yourself I don't have any part of myself parasocially invested in hating people who do good work.
-
8️⃣ (@j8len) reported@j7ylenn @TwitchSupport @TwitchSupport help please
-
CrystalAether 💼☕️ Office Manager VTuber (@CrystalitAether) reported@TwitchSupport While the concept is sound, I hope that there's guardrails for streamers who are targetted by viewbotting, and that they aren't unfairly punished for being a victim of it. Will this update signal a change in what counts as a bot? Lurkers aren't usually included in Twitch's viewcount, and it would be awful if lurker-friendly streams were also given this cap becaude of the stream environment they created. I'll be hoping that this change results in a positive step for all streamers on the platform; not just the massive ones.
-
Caz ⛓️❤️🔥 (@CazSpella) reported@TwitchSupport So what you are saying: People that not only hit partner through clear viewbotting but also have been actively promoted on your frontpage whilst doing so will not suffer retroactive consequences. Victims of botting-attacks will be punished instead of releasing a lasting fix
-
Alpaka Whacker (@AlpakaWhacker) reported@SicShotsNW @TwitchSupport Apparently that's a thing. I knew 1 or 2 subs *could* kick one off as well as higher chat activity but didn't realise a streamer gifting a (multi-month) sub in their own channel would do it P.S. Your linktree in your bio doesn't work 💛
-
Pagan Pegasus (@PaganPegasus) reportedNo this is actually crazy @TwitchSupport are you not gonna acknowledge that the UK/EU and apparently even some NA servers were NOT sending streams back to users yesterday? The servers were taking streams and saving VODs, but NO viewers could watch live in those regions?
-
Shizu ❤️🔥 (@ShizuVT) reported@RooneyBoyTV @TwitchSupport Acting like this won’t cause problems and will only work as intended is being woefully ignorant of their history of mistakes
-
Crisendo (@Crisendo) reported@TwitchSupport Hey Twitch, maybe it’s time to remove public view counts? It’s become mostly an ego metric. Traditional TV never shows live viewers to the audience. Sponsors already get proper analytics behind the scenes. Would take a huge chunk out of the viewbotting problem.
-
Emp (@EmperororeZ) reported@TwitchSupport I guess the only issue is that people can maliciously viewbot people they don't like to try to ban them. Twitch is surely at least aware of this
-
ActionBa5tard (@KarlJakober) reportedyo @TwitchSupport when are you going to fix your phone number banning system?
-
Pipi Slayer🦇💀 (@ppslayer_vt) reported@TwitchSupport Does this mean you will finally fix the new system from august that has been constantly misscounting real viewers while letting bots pass by??
-
HakureiRyan (@HakureiRyan) reported@Joysulem @thrillingd @TwitchSupport My brother in Christ these bot farms are already running racks of phones, lol. All you'd be accomplishing is the phones are used for an additional task. "You can auto detect and block" yet that never happens because it's not as simple as you're thinking. As someone who actually works in relevant industry, the solutions you think are "Fix everything" buttons are more like "Break everything" buttons if the buttons even do anything at all.
-
. (@sannytrades) reported@Drexler06_ @asianjeff @TwitchSupport he has multiple times with no response, public tweets like these are shown to work so that gif is you lol
-
HakureiRyan (@HakureiRyan) reported@Joysulem @TwitchSupport So the viewbot sends a GET to the proper API endpoint, viewbot reads the code, viewbot inputs the code. It's a one-time step the bot only has to perform once and then the bot has a "valid" account. All you've accomplished is viewbotting is slightly more expensive. Just think about it this way; X requires phone verification nowadays (yes you can sign up without one, but your account will get locked pretty rapidly), but like botting is still an issue.
-
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.

KRISTYNxROSE 🥀 | The Crypt (@KristynxRose) reportedI feel like of Twitch took the time to fix their discoverability they would have a lot less issues with viewbotting and streamers “cheating” the system. But all they do is take away discoverability tools and make things worse… I will say this again @twitch @TwitchSupport…. When everyone grows on the platform can grow…. Everyone wins… including Twitch! Don’t you want ALL your streamers growing to help keep the platform financially afloat?? Discoverability should be based on viewer interests and not number of views. People wouldn’t viewbot as much if discoverability wasn’t ZERO. This should be your main focus right now to keep our platform alive.
