I am calling for Twitch to amend their guidelines for multi streaming. It is hostile towards streamers that actually want to be on your platform and be a part of the community. The phrasing is far too vague and leaves the door open for streamers to be suspended simply for engaging with external platforms more than Twitch. More specifically, the third guideline which prohibits displaying *any* activity from third party platforms needs to be removed. The way that it is written technically makes it permissible to suspend anyone even if they are just using tipping platforms like StreamElements/Streamlabs. That's insane. It is ridiculous to say you allow multi streaming but then ask your creators to pretend like none of the other platforms exist. We should be allowed to combine chats on screen and acknowledge our viewers that support us even if they come from other platforms. I get that Twitch doesn't want viewers leaving for other platforms, but rules like this show that you don't even have confidence in your own platform anymore. Finally, if you say you're going to issue people a warning beforehand, actually do that. I shouldn't have to wake up to find my account suspended out of nowhere. And if you actually managed to stomach this cringe wall of text, please share it around. I want to actually make a difference in this space. youtube.com/watch?v=r7Jt4DZF…
