    You know, I don’t get offended or anything. But it’s impossible to mute / block streamers, and there are some particularly annoying offenders which I just don’t want to see when I open twitch. Just give me the option to filter that out and I won’t complain again.

      Every single time I go to watch a clip theres a ton of random partially naked people in the useless recomended section under the clip. I wish I could turn that off

      This reminds me of when I used TOR to check my Facebook account after so many years. It was constantly throwing random almost-explicit-but-definitely NSFW pages at me.

      "Where did these come from? Did I accidentally subscribe at some point? Oh they all say “suggested for you.”

      Can you turn off “suggested for you”? Lol no. That’s how they force ads on you.

      My findings concluded as expected: All the people I knew in highschool are living their dream lives somehow, my grandma’s still into weird rightoid conspiracies, and FB is a dogpoo platform I don’t understand how anybody still uses lol.

      There’s a block functionality that any user can use and iirc if you block a streamer they will be filtered out from your recommends/etc

      Helps to clean things up if you wanna hide the usuals you aren’t a fan of

      Only a corporation would be so completely uninterested in the experience of users that they wouldn’t have a way to mute or block channels. Honestly they should be ashamed they don’t have that feature, how long has twitch been around?
