People's most recent concern in what's being perceived to be a pretty tectonic shift in Twitch traffic in the last few months. Twitch has said they're actively tuning the viewbot detection but like, if that's affecting things just tell us. Or is it really just that the COVID bubble has burst?

So 100% no shade to OP here.

Highly recommend looking at this cuz I feel like the vast majority of Twitch streamers don't actually know their CCV and Chatter list aren't the same thing nor do they know how their numbers can be affected.

That being said, this Discord post doesn't really address...

Wanted to share this post from the #Twitch Partner Discord, since I've seen some chatter about it here as well. I don't have more info than what is posted here, but I wanted to share it for visibility and to hopefully help some of the concerns I've been seeing.

So another big health update. It looks like the medication my neurologist wants me on got approved. So the last piece of the puzzle to reclaiming more of my life is falling into place.

Straight up killing their ad revenue w/ a change that does this.

But it's entirely possible they fucked up, the drop in numbers isn't due to Twitch's gradual decline & lurkers are getting caught in the crossfire but they just don't want to admit it while trying to fix the problem in the background.

Things like usual drops in viewership patterns due to time of year or the gradual slowing down of Twitch viewership can be the culprit.

I'm still not fully convinced because Twitch would be actively shooting themselves in the foot since lurkers are a majority of the platform users. They'd be

So I'll def admit Ive been defensive about the whole "Twitch is screwing lurkers" thing.

A lot of my defensiveness comes from this being a similar song and dance when numbers drop due to easy explanations in Twitch traffic changes. But admittedly, evidence is mounting this time around.

Im heavily considering rebranding with my new model and such.

I love being 0pti but I have another name I use in my day to day that I think fits me better and would stear my work and aesthetic.

I dunno. Feel like it might be too much of a change. Plus I think my name elicits a good 1st impression.

I fuckin hate working on backend stuff. Been making/updating Youtube channels all night after work and maaaan is this shit boring as hell.

Why do all my passions have to have the most agonizingly dry shit attached to them.

I'm apparently at an age where eating some mac and cheese before bed has series consequences for both my sleep patterns and bowels.

Send help as I try not to fall asleep and shit myself through an entire work shift.
