  @TwitchSupport hey, I was wondering why the toggle for chat doesn't work on the console app?

• 
  Stacy Krugger (@Stacykrugger) reported 3 minutes ago

  Quick update, fixed the issue with my headphone amp, still only have sound in my right channel and @Twitch @TwitchSupport is still the only platform that isn't getting sound, that one really confuses me.

  @SinfulSiii @TwitchSupport I don't, but also, my problem is if you do not touch that money in 2 years because you are wanting it to go towards you first ever Twitch payout, Twitch starts taking that money from you so you will have a smaller payout than plan so they are forcing you to use it on Twitch so they don't have to pay you still. I don't mind non-affiliates having emotes, sub badges, and channel points because I feel like that makes your stream more interactive so you can get to affiliate faster. It's the fact they tell affiliates **** you, your work isn't **** since you're not partner because none of partners **** is being shared with affiliates. There should be more benefits for affiliate, otherwise Twitch just became another Kick without the horrible people.

  @Crazy_Gamer_2 @thefanification @TwitchSupport Respectfully, that doesn't really address the question. How did you find out this issue was a real policy, or is it an issue that "feels" like a problem and people are assuming it's real? I'm just trying to understand if I missed something here.

  @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.

  @TwitchSupport So you're punishing creators for the actions of the people actually creating the problem. Hey @YouTube Twitch is pulling a you.

  Frosted Fricks 💣🐦‍⬛ (@FrostedFricks) reported 12 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport What are you going to do when people decide to weaponize viewbots against streamers? You already have a count issue for streams, now if someone is being botted by someone else, you're still going to punish them? That seems extremely unfair.

  @Onepeg @TwitchSupport @PartyChipLIVE It's funny, I can't go into work and start "fake" releasing employee salaries. I would expect the company to take action.

  @tiktok_us how come u guys think its totally okay for someone to imporsonate, talk to someone, and then send them to the real person to @Twitch stealing their clips posting from twitch and you wont do anything about. if this was @TwitchSupport at least they would help out

  Conductor Savy 🚂🐐🔞 (@ConductorSavy) reported 18 minutes ago

  @HermesVtuber @TwitchSupport No, you skipped over the whole concern and inserted a question I never asked. I wasn’t asking what will happen, I was asking what the creator can do when there is no way for the, to prove it wasn’t them. There is no way a creator can prove it isn’t them doing the viewbotting. If someone in their community or a malicious user view bots them, it hurts the creator when the creator did nothing to warrant the enforcement. It doesn’t help the creator be able to prove it wasn’t them because the traffic still went to their channel. The way this is worded is the creator is ****** either way regardless of the source of the viewbotting, and this is what has me worried when it’s someone out of their control especially. It will hurt creators, because the viewbots can and have been weaponized in the past to hurt channels.

  @TwitchSupport ExtraEmily was compelled to viewbot and now clancy thinks it's a problem. Can't have the figure head of twitch viewbotting or feeling the need to do so.

  feckerfloat (@feckerfloat) reported 23 minutes ago

  @TermitesRGood @BestfriendKick @TwitchSupport Show me all her details, because this new system will help detect viewerbotting. If she maintains the same numbers, it proves she's genuine. You can't just say she should be at the bottom of the list or lose partner or affiliate status; you don't work for the platform. Ultimately, your opinion doesn't matter because Twitch makes those decisions. If they find Emily has done nothing wrong, you're just complaining for no reason. It's their platform and their call, and they don't care about your opinion.

  @eiyawow @TwitchSupport Its not about being entitle but about having to work for something an having earned it. Its called putting in the effort. Its not that hard to hit affiliate doing this pretty much is a kick to the teeth of those who did put in effort means guess what means nothing.

  Jester3_ (@Jester3_) reported 26 minutes ago

  @Rakunvar @TwitchSupport Yep a while back a group attacked a Minecraft server and a few of the streamers in it. Hit us with tons of bots and got told it was our problem. Have a feeling this is gonna hurt people who didn’t do anything.

  @TwitchSupport Remove the public from seeing how many viewers there then the problem solved

  Emerald Apple (@AI_EmeraldApple) reported 27 minutes ago

  @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.

  Thiga_TV (@Thiga_TV) reported 31 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport The real problem is that you don't even ban viewbots. I've already banned hundreds of viewbots in streams and reported them all using the batch function, but none of them were banned. The response I got was that there was no violation, and that's really ridiculous.

  @_Maral @TwitchSupport Doesn’t address the biggest issue

  GPHustlaKICK (@GPHustla) reported 33 minutes ago

  @Onepeg @TwitchSupport @PartyChipLIVE Good luck, my backup account got banned for generating too much ad revenue in 1 month so it got flagged for fraud in their broken fraud detection algorithm. So my main partnered channel got banned for evasion. 4 years later I’m still suspended

  Nathan (@x777defiance) reported 38 minutes ago

  It has been 1 year since I got suspended on @Twitch. Got Prime botted for about a week or more, and they indefinitely suspended me for that. I didn’t contact @TwitchSupport during that time since I was naive and thought my channel was actually growing since I had real chatters and viewers while playing, but turns out that could have been fake too when everyone seemed real. I explained it to them multiple times how I believe I was targeted for this since I know some people who don’t like me personally, but they don’t listen to my appeal and I just get a bot response. I’ve appealed 2 times now, but they don’t seem to care. I’ve grown as a creator on YouTube and now I want to be able to stream again on Twitch since I miss it… but it looks like that won’t ever happen again due to Twitch support not giving me another chance or even listening to my appeal. If anyone knows how to get their attention directly, please help me with that or tag them because I really miss streaming to the viewers that I had and interacting with them. 😭

  @TwitchSupport How is it that it seems like you guys are constantly trying to help out the bad guys

  @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??

  @TwitchSupport Does it take an act of God to get help from support, I sent a couple of emails for over a month to absolutely no response. Can someone please provide some help?

  Scege (@ScegeVT) reported 46 minutes ago

  @eiyawow @TwitchSupport the point you were making was overshadowing the real problem by rage baiting. sure I get that but I don't care either.

  @MayhapAnon @TwitchSupport the problem is that bigger streamers can bypass this by keeping the theme off and still getting ad revenue and twitch turns a blind eye because they are making them **** tons

  Discorrdia VT 🍨🐈 (@Discorrdia) reported 52 minutes ago

  Havent been able to stream for a couple weeks now and twitch support isnt replying to the email I sent. No, I did not get banned or suspended. I waited two weeks with no reply before sending another. Kinda sucks ngl. @TwitchSupport Help a girl out! 😭 Miss vibing with my chat

• 
  JPNESEBLDYMSSCRE (@JBM111SB) reported 55 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport They better be completely serious about getting rid of all of it. Viewbotting is the biggest problem when it comes to the number of viewers watching the live stream. Let's see how this goes until I start streaming on the platform later this year.

• 
  KisaiTenshi🎀👼🐱 (@KisaiTenshi) reported 56 minutes ago

  @Joysulem @TwitchSupport Doesn't work because you can buy phone numbers from VoIP services. The only reliable way to prevent viewbotting is to make the entire site require the authenticator even to register as a viewer.
