Watching a stream on Twitch is a good experience. The player is solid, chat is engaging, and discovery has improved. Creating on Twitch is a different story. The creator dashboard, monetization settings, moderation tools, and analytics are spread across interfaces that feel like they were designed by different teams in different years. The viewer/creator gap is the defining UX problem.

- +Discovery and recommendation have improved significantly
- +Community features (raids, predictions) add engagement
