Twitch Is Removing Its ‘Host Mode’ Feature And Everyone’s Upset
“Twitch is now removing Hosting,” Canadian streamer MrTLexify wrote on Twitter. “I said literally 2 years ago that Twitch was going to die and you are actively witnessing it happening rn.” “Twitch seems to be making decisions that negatively effect small creators and they just don’t care,” another streamer also wrote on Twitter. On Reddit, the news was posted to r/LivestreamFail, where one user wrote that “instead of improving the site they’re gutting it.”Twitch is removing hosting other channels and it’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. So when I’m Offline i can’t even have my viewers enjoy watching my friends who are live?? Such an L pic.twitter.com/W6ewkdW7vV

But while discussing the upset, former Twitch developer Chris Gamble wrote on Twitter that once raids were introduced, they “became the way people ended their streams, and Hosting was for endorsing channels for people who visited your channel while you’re offline.” “Hosting was a great and important feature for its time,” he said, “but it hasn’t been relevant for years now. Please think of it fondly and remember the good times, but do not worry about its retirement. I promise you, you’ll barely notice it’s gone.” Will you?my brother in christ why would you get rid of such a good feature for smaller streamers pic.twitter.com/PTXCe9czAZ
