- OtomotO 5y agoWas the first small streamer with such a restriction for me. (Mostly following small streamers, being a tiny one myself ;)) That's totally fine, I am not mad at them, I understand their motives. It's then just simply not for me, is all.
- cinntaile 5y agoYou'll also enable it when your chat starts getting flooded with spam bots.
- OtomotO 5y agoNa, I'll code a counter measure on stream and have fun with it. Or just leave twitch g Just an unimportant hobby, is all ;)
- Kiro 5y agoIt does however sound like you put the blame on Twitch. Streamers are demanding more ways to combat spam. The community wants more intrusive verification, not less.
- OtomotO 5y agoThere is no sound in written word. While I totally get what you mean (being a non native speaker), I don't care as much as I did. It's the same tone for me as was used on Discord. There it's also not discord, but the server owners (as I learned a few comments down) Apart from that: yes, I somehow blame the "give us your phonenumber approach". It's a lazy solution and a couple of years back, before the "war on terror/drugs/childporn/whatever" we used to get sim cards without r egistration and a DNA test (the later is a slight exaggeration ;)) And of course big companies such as Amazon or Discord love data such as the phone number. It's a super data point to link profiles across a variety of services
- LdSGSgvupDV 5y agoIs there really a lot of spam? In my experience, I just saw a robot subscription storm once in the past year at a small streamer (~100 people). I watch twitch roughly 3hr+/day.
