“Best streaming platform”

Twitch has all my favorite cybersport games: CS:GO, Fortnite and League of Legends. I don't even know how we lived before Twitch existed. I guess it was such a miserable and boring life :)

I got bullied multiple times by streamers and viewers for being disabled and for my race as well. They never stop the bullying and seem to use that to bring in viewers because viewers like bullying.

Tip for consumers:
It really needs to stop encouraging bullying of disabled people like me and people of certain races

Products used:
Paid for a sub and got bullied by the streamer.

Steal your money then refuse to help through emails! No contact phone number either.
Avoid if possible also never give them access to your bank account/PayPal.

Tip for consumers:
Do not under ANY circumstance give them access to your PayPal/bank account. They will auto renew WITHOUT asking you. Even if you have no access to the service they will charge you and refuse to refund or help you.

It's really great, there's a great variety of content! However, I'm kinda disappointed that older streams are getting deleted. We can never see them again, what a shame!

Twitch oversexualizes young female streamers and places them on recommended to pull people to those streams.

In 2018, while I was hired to assist in Twitchcon, during gameplay and other events, I often saw staff gawking at underage women and grouping underaged girls. We set up a Ras-Pie in and gave the wifi out to the staff to find out what was going on behind the scenes. We found that many of them were trading nudes of underage girls and joking about it in staff quarters. Often sharing their own videos of touching the underaged people and trying to compete with other staff of who can get the female streamer into bed quicker.
During a small gaming tournament nearby with a few of the gaming groups, we were asked to manipulate code in order to allow certain people to win and use admin privileges to console and inject extra perks for the players they wanted to win. Giving damage boosts, health boosts, taking away damage levels etc. They support their top-tier streamers with view bots to make them look more popular. While streamers such as Ninja was streaming during that Era we were ordered to inject close to 15,000 view bots and spam the chat with basic chatbot nonsense to try to get his views populated. They used server bots to support their bigger streamers and then boost youtube, insta, facebook, or whatever other socials they wish, to push their views and credentials to fraudulently trick sponsors into paying for their ad times or product plugs into the streams or events.

It's literally fraud then they are accepting several million dollars from a sponsor for a stream or event, that is eventually just flooded with view bots and not even real viewers.

Twitch always screws over female streamers with their content by allowing over-sexualized substances to exist on their clips and often, if the clip is removed from twitch, the staff will always upload those clips to alternate websites to keep it online forever. When Takedown requests are sent to twitch, they purposely sit behind legal gray areas of "processing" to allow viewers to see or find over-sexualized content of a streamer, so twitch gets more views, regardless of the damaging effects it could have on the person being victimized. Often refusing to allow authorities to comb through their records and using a good lawyer wall to help oversexualize streamers, versus simply taking down the pornographic or leaked nude content. As that draws more people into the site.

Twitch owns their own view bot websites, even though it's against their own TOS. They save all clips and videos and sell their sexualized content online from servers that are located out of the USA, since the US and international law can't touch those locations or be forced to remove the content.

Twitch also has no customer support and refuses to ever answer support questions in relation to direct questions. They will always copy-paste something that looks similar without directly reading support requests. They sit around their office and laugh at people sending in requests and make fun of people who are sending in legitimate technical issues with their site or other revenue-based inquiries. They only specifically focus on their top tier streamers.

Twitch also supports money laundering and even actively goes OUT to people who wish to wash funds through their website to promote the concept. As a streamer may accept donations and have a small tax fee to pay. They are "donations" at root. If a person wishes to wash their money, they can use alternate payment methods to submit donations to themselves on stream, to make it look like they are getting large amazing donations, but in reality, they are paying themselves with their own money and using the platform to wash their money, so they can legally bypass regulatory measures of money collection. AKA accepting dirty or illegal funds and then washing through twitch as a donation source. Twitch makes those bots happen. They send the dirty money to twitch, Twitch makes the bots and payment systems through their website. Then the mass donations or many small donations go to the streamer to wash it.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away. Keep your kids off the platform.

It seems Twitch is currently engaged in a "bait & switch" scam. In spite of the fact that I PAID for subscriptions because I was promised an AD-FREE experience for doing so, I continue to be inundated with ads on channels to which I subscribed. Twitch's response to my complaint was your typical scammer "Trust us - we're working on it". I refuse to subscribe to any more channels until Twitch corrects this. Nor will I re-scribe when the current ones expire. I'd rather tip content creators directly in order to support them. (But knowing how greedy Twitch is, it wouldn't surprise me if they remove that option from their platform.)

This is one of the worst apps ever. It is very inappropriate for everyone. It's against free speech and the content on there is insanely bad.

If you love listening to your content with random interruptions in the middle of crucial moments of your programming then Twitch is the streaming service for you. Nothing like listening to a comedian telling a joke only to have Twitch cut in and air silence as part of their advertising, so you never get to hear the comedian's punchline. Fabulous! Twitch sucks.

Twitch is scamming platform, they are unethical and unprofessional. They will prey on your money and yet sleep in peace...Please do not sign up to this site...
Witch is scamming platform, they are unethical and unprofessional. They will prey on your money and yet sleep in peace...Please do not sign up to this site...
Payment process is a joke, there is no verification and if you cancel the payment before it went through the payment will just go through and twitch will blame you in doing so. There is no payment verification when signup for the billing agreement with paypal, its just basic professional ethics to have some form of window or check to know if the user has inputed the right amount but twitch doesnt do this... they will happily take your money and blame you...they are just scammers... I absolutely dont recommend this platform...i lost 400 euro just because i enterred the wrong number of subs and yet i hit the cancel button before the payment went through, in my opinion this is a techinical glitch but twitch just brushed it off... there is no live chat or phone number to get proper support, their current online form is a big joke... Plus they take a lot of commissions and streamers barely get any, this is total preying from both viewers and streamers... please dont sign up!

Lately you watch almost as much advertisements as content of a streamer, they pluage the vieuwers that want to watch new streamers, if you dont pay subscription on all the channels you will be bombed by advertisements.
Its a shame really add were for helping people get known, but today you get only a handfull of advertisements over and over and over again. Its become obnoxious really i hate the companies that advertise now

This site provides (probably) one of the best ways to stream in a large, more interactive way than other sites. (such as YT) Plus, thanks to the application I can actually have an easier way to enhance my gaming experience without having to worry about certain mod installations (namely Minecraft).

I love TWITCH but--
Often viewers will stop and look to see what a streamer is showing via the short videos they produce and upload. Twitch has taken this away from the new streamer with the requirement that you must have partner or affiliate status before they can upload videos to Twitch. Twitch please give back the Video Upload feature to the new Streamers!

One of the worst websites i ever been on
The streamers on there are very rude and nasty as well and quick to bully you as well
Yet quick to take your money and they nag you to follow them up
As i would avoid this website all together and go else way as i dont like how they ask for a code or some streamers only have followers only rubbish and $#*! website. Avoid if you can and go on youtube or live. Me or younow if u want to stream much better and they have better mods and younow give free coins like live.me where twitch tv is a con as you have to buy them what a rip off, as it suprice this website still going,

My boyfriend and I spend maybe boring weekends watching Fortnite steamers on Twitch. I think the idea of it is absolutely amazing! Of course, I have my favorite streamers that I watch almost everytime they stream and it gives me endless hours of entertainment (S/O to Hamlinz, Daequan, Nick Mercs, High Distortion, and Dakotaz). Anyway, I refuse to put my card on my account anywhere. Although I'd absolutely love to support some of my favorite streamers, I've gotten countless emails about my account being hacked somewhere in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, or other 3rd world countries. Therefore, I don't trust putting money anywhere near my account. I've been gifted a few subs which is fine by me, but as far as putting you card onto your account, I wouldn't. So, in case some streamers are wondering why the subs are dwindling, not subbing anymore, or why they have so little subs, you may want to contact Twitch about their hacking issues. If they can fix that, Hamlinz will most definitely be my first sub!

Trash site finding new ways to take money that creators get and put it in their own pockets. Absolutely atrocious. Absolutely not recommended for anyone that cares about the well being of the people they are watching. Do not spend any money, unless you are giving it directly to the streamer.

Let's be short and blunt here, save you time and tell you exactly as it is.

Twitch's customer service is complete and utter trash incapable of handling a ticket, doing it at a decent time, and still marking the "unresolved ticket" as "resolved." Even when the ticket exposes simple or obvious and unnecessary bugs on their website, it is just brushed off and marked resolved. They are just persistent and continuous problems ignored by twitch while customer service continues to do absolutely nothing to inform their IT, if they even have that department.

Tip for consumers:
Consider Youtube for content creation. I regret starting with twitch when I have a lot more accessibility, algorithms in support of smaller streamers and general subscribers on youtube.
