One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet: the guidelines explicitly state that the Twitch chat experience must be >= other platforms.

Many streamers use bots to interact with chat for things like raffles, giveaways, custom coin gamification... and these bots usually don't support multiple concurrent platforms. Because of this stipulation, I've already witnessed multiple streamers say "if you're watching on Youtube and would like to enter, you must go to Twitch and type !X in chat"

Whether intentional or not, this is a sly way make the actual streamers 301 to Twitch.


Howdy! I just so happened to be working on the logpush system earlier this week: if you wouldn't mind hopping on the discord [0], our PM tanushree#3489 may be able to arrange something for y'all.
