Is anyone else disappointed with Twitch’s recent updates?
I honestly think Twitch has completely lost touch with its community.
Dont get me wrong guys its my opinion
I’m getting really frustrated with the direction Twitch is taking.
Instead of fixing problems that have existed for years, we’re getting features like Dual Format Streaming. I genuinely don’t understand who asked for this. If I want to stream vertically, I’ll use TikTok. That’s literally what it’s built for.
Meanwhile, Twitch still has some of the same issues creators have been complaining about forever.
Discovery is still terrible.
Growing as a small streamer is still incredibly difficult because we dont have any Kind of algorithm, we have static sorting (many viewers = higher in reccomendation, few viewer or no viewer = not beeing reccommended).
The platform still feels outdated in so many areas.
Bugs and missing quality-of-life features stay around for years.
And then there’s UserVoice.
What is even the point of asking the community what they want if it feels like nobody is listening? There are countless ideas with thousands of votes, yet I honestly can’t remember the last time Twitch implemented a feature that the community had been asking for for years.
It honestly feels like Twitch has become stuck. Instead of improving the core platform, they keep adding features that don’t solve the biggest problems creators actually face every day.
As someone who genuinely loves streaming on Twitch, this makes me sad. I want Twitch to succeed. I want it to become the best live-streaming platform again. But right now it feels like they’re building the platform they want instead of the platform their community has been asking for.
Am I the only one who feels like Twitch has completely lost its direction?
