Re: Twitch's New UI Is Awful
#2Twitch’s overall UX since I got into it has always seemed fundamentally about funneling you into a live stream as soon as possible and nothing else. If the entire Software and Gaming Dev community there kick off an alternative that would be such a great thing overall (does this exist?) but the big dev streamers would likely never make that sacrifice. Let Twitch be for gaming or whatever their current strategy is, but please, dev streamers, I beg you.
Wasn’t there a Show HN a few months ago where the dev had live streaming integrated with interacting with the running code? That’s what I want to see get big. Lemme see if I can find it now that it came to mind

#3The new app sucks balls too. I just want to go back to viewing a list of my subscriptions. I don't need the most active one shoved in my face.

#4I'm still sour about all the camgirls on Twitch to even know when it gets updated. Let me know when they finally clean up the website and it becomes family friendly again.

#5What's the plan for twitch?
Seems like they filled a niche that YouTube didn't in the past, but YouTube seems to have addressed a lot of the problems that turned folks to twitch (from speaking with folks who stream/watch streamers).

Are the majority of game-focused streamers "family friendly?" That's not the impression I've ever gotten from twitch or, frankly, from gamers. In a few dozen hours of online gaming I've been called more unprintable slurs than in the entire rest of my life combined.

I think it's easier to ignore them now. Although my experience of Twitch is limited to watching middle aged men play games from the early 2000s.

The majority of streamers aren't slinging slurs, though a lot of the more toxic people also happen to be the more popular streamers. Not sure twitch cares about being family friendly though, sure doesn't seem like it based on their normal moderation decisions
