  Rob (@JustRobPlays) reported 22 seconds ago

  @TwitchSupport If the new system is “based on historical data” how does that work when 80% of Twitch’s top streamers have been accused of viewbotting or getting botted for years? This just rewards the biggest cheaters... Fix discovery/ranking instead. Also, fire Dan Clancy @TwitchSupport

  @TwitchSupport Stop posting your generic *** reply that all of us have already tried, your system doesn't ******* work.

• 
  Robert "Sirius" Wolf (@TheSiriusWolf) reported 3 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport So, is this going to -actually- work, or will it be like the last time you tried to "combat it", and people with legit viewers lost CCV?

  Shizu ❤️‍🔥 (@ShizuVT) reported 6 minutes ago

  @RooneyBoyTV @TwitchSupport Acting like this won’t cause problems and will only work as intended is being woefully ignorant of their history of mistakes

• 
  Wills Smith (@WillsSmithcc) reported 7 minutes ago

  @LukasAllgood @TwitchSupport Same issue here, MeganCode got everything sorted.

• 
  vengent (@vengent) reported 9 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport What stops someone from view botting an opponent without their permission to get them in trouble? You can't accurately apply intent to these bots.

  @TwitchSupport This is terrible.

  LarryFishburger (@LarryFishburger) reported 11 minutes ago

  @MDCRE_ @TwitchSupport In the long run this hurts them more though. Ad revenue will decline more and more as advertisers realize their paying for inflated views. The sooner they fix the issue the better. Rip the bandaid off now.

  @TwitchSupport For the last two updates, the long press functionality to reply to a message in chat is not working on the iOS app. When I try to reply to a message this way, nothing appears in chat.

  Phil (@trollied) reported 13 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport Sadly this means bad actors can pay to view bot somebody else & give them issues. You need a different approach.

  yo @TwitchSupport when are you going to fix your phone number banning system?

• 
  KempasUK (@KempasUK) reported 17 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport You know how Twitch has a streamer discovery problem and Stream Together skews categories when larger streamers join up? Why not make it so affiliates who've been streaming in a category for, say, several months consistently, can apply to be in a 'spotlight' near the category top? Similar to how partners can apply for home page. It could require a modest average viewer count, too (maybe).

  The Uninvited Guest (@guest76502) reported 18 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport I have reported people that are viewbotting and basically you did sweet **** all in cancelling that person. So the viewbotting problem is down to the Twitch Support having the heads so far up their arses and not sorting it out. I think the CEO will do nowt about it

  @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

  RiSE - NalyoGaming on YT🎮(J.Nally) (@RiseUp44) reported 28 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport Someone correct me if I am wrong but because Twitch can't figure out a way to actually fix the problem they will put a cap on top with a guess rather than actually fixing the issue. This is just silly!

• 
  KisaiTenshi🎀👼🐱 (@KisaiTenshi) reported 31 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.

  ToastFPS (@ToastFPS) reported 36 minutes ago

  @Crisendo @TwitchSupport “Most people are going to RELATE a higher viewership with a higher tier of content”. If you needed to read that again, and it’s usually true is most cases. Any 1000 viewer stream is usually going to be higher quality than any 2 viewer stream. Budget, experience, production are all -USUALLY- higher. There is no discoverability on twitch outside of viewership. There never has been. Thats likely never going to change.

  Wave 🌊 (@waveswizdom) reported 37 minutes ago

  Twitch y’all good? @TwitchSupport @Twitch please explain this to me like I’m 5 years old. I’ve never committed Fraud in my life. I’ve abided by every rule you have set. I grew a vast following and made affiliate within two streams, due my social media following. Let’s get this issue resolved immediately please. This is ABSURD! Somebody gotta holla at me!

• 
  Josep (@josepur) reported 38 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport The fix is simple. Use engagement as the weight for discovery, not view count.

  Conductor Savy 🚂🐐🔞 (@ConductorSavy) reported 42 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 there are also bots that mass report people to get them banned and no actual people work at support to help. speaking from experience

  @TwitchSupport Hi Twitch, how can I fix this? I basically messed up. I recently verified a new account with my old main Twitch account's phone number. How can I fix it?

  @TwitchSupport @Twitch Gifting subs failed nine times last night on stream and still charged me anyway. Multiple error messages each time. How do we resolve this and refund my money?

• 
  Denzel (@DenzelTwitch) reported 52 minutes ago

  @TwitchSupport It is the same issue that plagues game relying on anticheat etc like Rust. You need active moderation and people checking into things. Don't cheap out hire trust worthy non biased people to investigate reports. Real people fix real problem.

  @TwitchSupport This is immediately going to get exploited by people trying to harm creators/streamers and is a terrible idea
