No one wants this. This is the ninja ads on your channel all over again & shows how disconnected Twitch really is from all the streamers who care for the platform.

4/ On a more personal note, I apologize want to apologize directly to @ninja that this happened. It wasn’t our intent, but it should not have happened. No excuses.
— Emmett Shear (@eshear) August 11, 2019
You should be better than this @twitch. I’d be willing the bet that changing the face of Tyler’s channel to show others is TECHNICALLY ok, and covered in TOS... but.... c’mon son. https://t.co/sBvCA0cvRR

2/ This helps all streamers as it creates new community connections. However, the lewd content that appeared on the @ninja offline channel page grossly violates our terms of service, and we’ve permanently suspended the account in question.

3/ We have also suspended these recommendations while we investigate how this content came to be promoted.

This is so disgusting. Tyler has worked so hard to have a brand that’s suitable for all audiences. We have no control of what they’re doing to his Twitch channel which is directly affecting his brand in a bad way. So pissed. https://t.co/uh7mMtcooG

This will not work unless you give streamers power to customize who can be seen on their own channel. Judging by this thread, it has already clearly proven it can be grossly misused. https://t.co/syFJwcCN2Z

This is a big yikes. Twitch repurposed @Ninja's channel after his switch to Mixer, highlighting top Fortnite streams instead.
— Matt Brian (@m4tt) August 11, 2019
Earlier today, it let an account stream porn to 20k+ people for 2 hours in the Fortnite category. This, of course, was replicated on Ninja's channel. https://t.co/8Yt9pkgE8V

1/ Our community comes to Twitch looking for live content. To help ensure they find great, live channels we’ve been experimenting with showing recommended content across Twitch, including on streamer’s pages that are offline.
— Emmett Shear (@eshear) August 11, 2019
Update: @Twitch has reverted @Ninja's channel to the default offline status, which in turn brings back offline chat. Right now, Twitch users are burning the company and it looks like mods are removing controversial comments.
