𝐂𝐆𝟓𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 (@CG5NATCH) reported@RymeyyTv @Twitch @TwitchSupport Mate, Twitch support can't even read emails. I reached out to claim my name back about a few weeks ago. They said I need to make the claim from the original accounts email. I reminded them that this IS the email from the original account and they said we've given you the answer and we're closing the ticket. So I sent them a screen shot of TWITCH' EMAIL SENT TO ME saying my account was deleted, my user name on that account will be available in 6 months and I cannot log in now because the account doesnt exist. That was back in May 2022. They closed the ticket. Didnt solve the issue. Twitch Support....

Lauren Maguire (@LaurenM80741193) reported@TwitchSupport I’ve tried to get my issues sorted and everyone replying to the tickets are useless. No one is sorting the issue out and then I was told a British passport and a British driving license CANT confirm my age and then I’ll be waiting 15 hours again for another reply

Joysulem - The Demon Lord VT (@Joysulem) reported@Shocktrue @TwitchSupport Sounds like a personal problem. In 2026 Gmail literally asks for your phone number for recovery. Banks, Discord and almost every major service does the same. If you can’t verify a simple account, maybe your views shouldn’t count toward a streamer’s analytics and monetization. Or… are we protecting the viewbot side here? 🤔 You can literally buy a prepaid phone for $30 if you’re worried about privacy. No monthly contract needed. Real viewers can verify in 30 seconds. Bot farms cannot scale it cheaply.

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.

-
Mura 🫐 (@Mura_VT) reported@TwitchSupport So is this fixing the issues with lurkers not being counted or????
-
Sasha Grey (@SashaGrey) reported@TwitchSupport Not only are the measures taken proven to be ineffective but small - medium size channels that do NOT bot, are usually the most affected. Would still like a fix for counting lurkers as viewers 👉👈 We have proven our channels have been hurt but no solution to this since it was enacted last year, Twitch has always said lurkers are the backbone but the actions don’t align with that at all😞
-
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.

Tokyo Casper (@_Leurve) reported@TwitchSupport I've been trying to get help accessing my account; however, the site is not providing options for me to do so and there seems to be no way of contacting your team.

Panda_VT🐼🔪 (@ThePandaperfect) reported@CovfefeChan @Twitch This looks fishy, and it smells fishy. I'm not a cat but still! @TwitchSupport help her out!! Why does she get punished for this??
-
UnsettlingAL (@TheseShirOnly) reported@TwitchSupport >Classic "We promise to address this problem" PR statement. >We are going after incoming, smaller streamers who viewbot. >We want to protect the top 1% of streamers, even if they use viewbots, to safeguard our platform revenue and our parent company's stock. yw
