    @Eljayem_ This video was really helpful - I haven’t had drop frame issues but I didn’t understand how encoding priority worked on twitch’s end now I should have my stream even more accessible to more people!

  • Motoman2929 Motoman2929 (@Motoman2929) reported

    @TwitchSupport I have emailed 3 times in regards to my Payout Account not being corrected. I have changed it on my end and it has not been updated so my payments have been held. Please contact me to fix this issue. Thank you

  • GrechiiM Grechi (@GrechiiM) reported

    @wurlo1 @TLOUUNC trainwrecks comes up cus this dude is calling this the worst **** on twitch which being friends with a criminal, and partaking in gambling with loot boxes and pokemon cards which in fact are way worse than hottub streamers.

  • Error423Locked ⚔️ ♀️ ⚔️ (@Error423Locked) reported

    @earthdomdirtbag I think the issue that some do (or should) have is that there’s been a large problem with twitch banning people for on-camera activity that might go against TOS, but the lewd acts (despite being against TOS in a sense) dont get the same actions put up against them.

  • RealSirJ0K3R 🔴 Sir J0K3R (@RealSirJ0K3R) reported

    The problem with Twitch: Twitch says they don't recommend that people use 3rd party apps to remove followers and whatnot. The big ugly picture here is: Twitch's API allows for this to be easily done so how is there no official tool yet?

  • imBronana Bronana (@imBronana) reported

    @FeLo Thats really weird. I have never had an issue with fiber in the last 1.5 years of having it (minus the recent stuff which seems twitch related). I wonder if its a setting in OBS somewhere that you maybe accidentally changed?

  • digitalspork Digitalspork, Lord of Utensils (@digitalspork) reported

    @ImHerbiie Do you have actual data on that? Because looks like plenty of companies still run ads on Twitch, and on top of that ad revenue from some partnered streamers with high view counts is still insanely strong. I just don’t think this is a problem at all, for anyone.

  • j__dog12345 #Pre JDOG (@j__dog12345) reported

    all I want to get is to affiliate on twitch but no one watches me anymore I don’t ever want to work at a restaurant or a store anymore shits ducking annoying

  • BabyPegacorn Lotte 💜 (@BabyPegacorn) reported

    @cotehardies @TwitchSupport FIX THISSSS

  • SleepyBellaLife 😴 Sleeping Bella 💤 (@SleepyBellaLife) reported

    @Pleijpje @Dawnwhisper If cleavage = success on Twitch why are only 35% of twitch partners women and only streamer in the top 100 of twitch streamers (veiwers, subs, donations) a woman? Please rethink this mentality. It is part of the problem.

  • murmoruno Mur Moruno (@murmoruno) reported

    hi @Twitch , I can't seem to reset my password. It showed up an error:"something went wrong" when I typed in the new password. Please help.

  • tyler9958 Tyler Thomas (@tyler9958) reported

  • TheBenSexton Ben Sexton (@TheBenSexton) reported

    So now that it's #MLBTheShow season. I have a gripe. I watch most of the major community members on Twitch. If you have the entire collection done after the first weekend, and your squad is rolling 95-99 and LS Trout is your worst player. I've lost interest in watching you

  • hallien_ttv halie (@hallien_ttv) reported

    @cotehardies I think it was @Twitch fixing some bot issues! I believe they got rid of a ton of bot accounts, causing a lot of streamers to lose big numbers! I’m sorry this happened but keep pushing you’ll be back up in no time!

  • Little_Angelfuk Annie 🇨🇺 (@Little_Angelfuk) reported

    @AxxeOfPeace Again, I didn’t say it was, you’re missing the point. Everyone is saying “ok well your problem is with the platform”, when it WAS actually the platform that was criticized in the quoted tweet. “The absolute state of twitch”.

  • Ghost_Gameing JD (@Ghost_Gameing) reported

    @Twitch @TwitchSupport can i please get some help my twitch has been banned for over 4 months and ive written an appeal an havent been gotten back too

  • marcoguardia2 Marco Guardia (@marcoguardia2) reported

  • Keizus_ Keizus (@Keizus_) reported

    Yall really mad about women having pools in their house and making money off of it.... broken twitch TOS aside.... let them chase their bag its not their fault internet weirdos are horny

  • ImHerbiie Herbiie (@ImHerbiie) reported

    @digitalspork @DevinNash Yeahhhh exactly it is a twitch problem. Amazon was the worst thing to happen to twitch

  • jace_mullins Jace Mullins (@jace_mullins) reported

    What should I work on for my Twitch Channel next?

  • digitalspork Digitalspork, Lord of Utensils (@digitalspork) reported

    @ImHerbiie @DevinNash Fair enough, even if that is a problem. That’s a Twitch problem, it is their platform and they are creating the TOS, and these fit into it If they created a model that’s that far behind YouTube then they need to keep up, but since Amazon likes to let things die... on to the next

  • n0ty0urgf syd wants to go home (@n0ty0urgf) reported

    @yrpervmutt @selfs4botage - lots of things i can’t eat/touch because of texture - lack of sleep - i get these weird twitches that my mom makes fun of me for but i can’t help - i’m considered the “loud one” - i can’t comprehend a lot of things and it takes a lot of time to(whether reading or normal convo)

  • Nick36135999 Yrg (@Nick36135999) reported

    @777monoxide @PlayboiXinepeng @innocents Bruh twitch don’t give at bout small creators and he cant get help from josh either cuz twitch hates him **** around and ask Adin for help cuz one time ricegum helped like 3 ppl get unbanned because their ban made no sense

  • OwletCaity Caity🦉🌙 (@OwletCaity) reported

    I’m super proud of how much work and time I’m putting into Twitch atm to achieve my goals, but i’d be lying if I didn’t say I felt tired and I can feel the self-doubt creeping back in, with the stress of the goal now potentially not being achieved after everything

  • deedeebeep BUNNIE ! 🌷🔪 (@deedeebeep) reported

    *my eye twitches* week 7 still doesnt work

  • hemarookworst Chunks (@hemarookworst) reported

    What a meh day, my lego order ran into some issues which is gonna make it take longer to get shipped and now i missed half of Dodgers stream because twitch didn't auto-start the stream all of a sudden T_T

  • lewdshoots Lewdshoots (@lewdshoots) reported

    @Ethanhamm I want to work at twitch 🥺

  • BenP610 Benjamin Plante (@BenP610) reported

    @TwitchSupport Is there an issue with subscribing at the moment? I got a few purchase not complete messages before it successfully went through, but it's not going through right now either. It's off and on.

  • KoneToivonen Konsta (@KoneToivonen) reported

    @xQc the thing is, were Twitch to be consistent with their rules, I don't think this would be a problem but Twitch is more inconsistent than @GetSpectrum when it comes to their service so I don't blame anyone if people have problems with this.

  • Jestomyy Tomy (@Jestomyy) reported

    @swan_alfie @Asmongold @xQc It's cool to have an issue with it if you're logically consistent on it but my point stands that I've said to others, just watch another streamer. These girls average at most 3k during these streams, in modern twitch that's like slightly above average for popular streamers.
