Twitch is a big category in the enshittification category. They're endlessly user hostile. I want to force management to use their own products

The money people probably just told them "more ads. I don't care how you do it - more ads"

I have a Twitch account that I can't log into due. They'll send me an e-mail with my username in it but won't send me the password reset e-mail. Their support will acknowledge that I clearly have access to the inbox and will refuse to help or do anything for me to recover my account. They are beyond worthless.

At least you can still use the chat from an IRC client and view streams in mpv. If they ruin those aspects I'll probably quit going there. I did also stream on there a bit in the past, but didn't get too attached or locked in, so mostly I care about the viewer experience still.

I bet it's only because they forgot they had such a feature. Like RSS feeds on Reddit.
