-
G.O.T Games (@GOTGAMES_TB) reportedMy stream was falsely hit by someone who has been stalking and harassing my YouTube and Twitch channel for nearly a year. YouTube blocked them from striking my channel. But Twitch has just allowed them to over and over again. Usually when they do Twitch will automatically, instantly overturn the DMCA and reinstate the channel. However this time, in 3 days, I have not heard from a single real person at Twitch. Not one person and I have used 5 different methods I have of contact. Each time an AI has responded. I am now just sitting here waiting, with no point of contact with Twitch, no real human to talk to and no way of fixing anything. This person has been allowed to falsely hit my channel time and time again with ease and freedom, but now when I want to get my channel back and remove the false strikes I can't even speak to someone as a Twitch partner. The AI even closed all my tickets and said that they resolved my issue, when I asked what did you resolve, they said 'goodbye' and left the chat and email chain. @Twitch @TwitchSupport @TwitchUKI I love your platform, I have been on it for nearly 5 years... A partner for 4, can I please, please have some help here. 🙏

Michael Swain aka "Old Man" (Joy's version) (@Michael50706655) reported@saga2K9 @Czernobog @TwitchSupport All the rest of what Amazon owns is working fine. All but Twitch. So when Amazon says it's gonna take 24 hours to fix the twitch issue are we to believe them or you, saga full of ****? Yes, I called Amazon and that's what they said.
-
The Uninvited Guest (@guest76502) reported@TwitchSupport It's not just certain areas of our site it is impacting. It's impacting the whole lot, but then again when you sack most of the staff then when problems arise like this then there is hardly anyone around to fix it.

Elekky 😈🦇 Nostalgia Succubus 👾 (@Elekttrakute) reported@trytryagain_ @TwitchSupport Viewers have 24h to save their streaks by viewing the VOD or a clip from that stream :3 If you do stream pass the 30m, there is a change to save them after the crash is over

isi 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@k1ngisi) reported@TwitchSupport you had a full month to prepare for the biggest game of the decade to be previewed. You are THE worst website on the internet by far. Laggiest, buggiest, bloatiest. I really hope your company goes bankrupt and YT & Kick take over.

-
JamesLee85 (@jameslee_1985) reported@TwitchSupport You guys seem to be having some kind of authentication issue. Nothing on your site will load, and if I get into my stream manager, I can't change my stream title or category. It also says I have no followers, activity history, and I'm not allowed to run ads?
-
SpookyCatKevin (@SpookyCatKevin) reported@acitrusfruitt @TwitchSupport You're very welcome, I just hope this solves the problem. Sadly I can only go off of past experiences and speculation, but I know other platforms are hesitant to push ads where certain tags or warnings are applied. Wishing you only the best.

SleepingDev (@Sleeping_devs) reported🚨 TWITCH IS DOWN Twitch is experiencing major issues, with outages reported between 19:30–20:09 UTC. The website, chat, and watching streams are heavily affected, while going live still works for many. 🎮 Likely cause: massive traffic from GTA 6. Rockstar dropped an extended gameplay look on Netflix, sending tons of people to Twitch to stream and watch reactions. Twitch is investigating. Follow @TwitchSupport for updates.

Ghost (@CrazyGhost251) reported@notsnow74 @TwitchSupport @OBSProject Hmm, I’m not sure then. Only other thing I could think of is maybe it’s a CPU or GPU bottleneck issue.
