People in this day and age enjoy watching and playing video games. You?ll find millions of people in a community vouching for a particular gamer. The niche is expanding and is bifurcating into sub-niches. Such has been the growth in the past decade that there are not just multiple platforms, but specially designed laptops, mobiles, browsers, and set-top boxes for gaming. But one particular brand which has established itself as a leading streaming service is Amazon-owned Twitch.
Twitch?s easy-to-use platform with excellent service and high adoption rate makes it an ideal live streaming platform. Despite a few issues, nearly 40% of the live stream still takes place on Twitch, and thus it does have the lionâs share as compared to platforms such as Mixer, Facebook Watch, and YouTube Live.
Twitch attracts two million broadcasters each month. The number has been growing each year because of the simplified streaming process. As they say, a day would come where everybody would live-stream or push recorded footage, but who will watch? Nobody. Many aspiring streamers face this battle, and in the past few years, a lot of them have found some recognition through r/Twitch.
Today we will be reviewing one of the most underrated subreddits: r/Twitch. You can find all types of discussions surrounding the platform in this subreddit. You can ask a question, share some quality content, or provide feedback.
My recent experience on r/Twitch
The recent post I upvoted on r/Twitch was interesting. I had the same question, and I was wondering if I could post my query on this subreddit. Luckily, someone had the sixth sense and so they posted the question - ?Will my Twitch Prime loot be gone if I cancel my Amazon Prime video subscription??.
I was relieved to see the answers. And if you have the same question, then here is something you should know - If you are in a Prime Video only country and you just canceled your subscription, it will not affect your loot in Twitch Prime. Sure, you won't be able to access and gain more, but the loot will be there.
About r/Twitch - Community & Members
This subreddit is an unofficial page for discussions surrounding the streaming website Twitch.tv. It was founded on August 9, 2010 and has since amassed a following of nearly 700,000 members. At any given time, you'll find around 5-10,000 members online. That's quite a good ratio compared to some of the subreds with million members.
How to access r/Twitch?
If you're not a Reddit user, you have two options: you can create an account and confirm your email address, or you can try following some of the Twitch subreddits without registering first. After confirming your email address, you'll be able to follow subreddits, comment on posts, and even post anything you want on any of the Twitch subreddits.
PlaysPokemon are currently discussing whether or not to add additional rule-sets to the platform.
The moderators of r/TwitchPlaysPokemon are currently discussing whether or not to add additional rule-sets to the platform. They have been debating this topic for some time now, and they still haven't made a decision as of yet.
80,000 posts per day is a large number, and it can be hard for an individual to manage everything by himself or herself. This is because there is a lot of activity on the forum each day, and moderating it and ensuring that the rules are followed can be a difficult job.
At the time of writing this review, there were ten moderators on r/Twitch. These ten individuals were ?eDIVINEWRAITHo,? ?Zcotticus,? ?Havryl,? ?OSSini,? ?boothin,? ?twitch_General,? ?Picante_Live,? ?Jakuu,? ?JazzB3ar?, and ?Twitch Subreddit.?
Why should you follow r/Twitch?
Twitch is packed with content. There are thousands of posts uploaded each day covering a variety of games such as Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, PubG, Overwatch, and Fortnite. Other than these popular titles, you'll find coverage regarding top twitch creators along with rant from the members of the community itself. Expect a lot of cool content accompanied by drama and controversy. Just to clarify my point, one user went on to say that this subreddit was nothing but just a lower viewer circle jerk with subtle self-advertising and that attracted over 2000 upvotes.
Community Engagement
I was surprised to see that this community isn't as integrated as I thought. Though the number of active members is high, people don't interact a lot. An average top post on any given day doesn't surpass the 1,000 mark. Forget that, the best content of the month, attracted just 2,100 upvotes. The only positive thing about the interaction is the comments. There are more than 50-70 comments on each popular post, and some even exceed the 2000 mark.
Bi-Weekly Contest
I enjoy watching subreddits take on specific goals in order to promote their community interaction. For example, the /r/Twitch community is special because it hosts regular contests, which encourages users to participate and feel engaged. Each month, there are two contests, and the results are covered under "Quick updates" and "Events" sections. For instance, /u/FleshlyDelight won the r/Twitch Clip Contest on April 23rd, and /u/SaltySourPenguin won the r/Twitch Clip Contest on April 10th.
Reddit Gold
Members of r/Twitch give gold to one another as a sign of respect and admiration. On an average day, you will find at least two posts with gold, and if you look deeper into the threads you may find one or two giving gold to cheeky, helpful, or sarcastic users. Gold is given by a user to another user as a sign of respect and admiration.
Filter by flair
I would be upset if r/Twitch didn't have the Filter by Flair option. There's so much content floating around the page that it can be hard to imagine browsing without proper content segmentation. Thanks to the mods, we have an in-depth category based "Filter by flair," wherein you can choose from the following options: "Community Event," "PSA," "Question," "Guide," "Discussion," "Tech Support," "Clip," "Mod-Approved Ad," "Site Suggestion," and "Question [resolved]."
Important rules you must know before joining r/Twitch?
It is advised for any user looking to join r/Twitch to first read the following rules before clicking ?Join? on the subredditâs main page. As a newcomer, it is your responsibility to be aware of these regulations in order to properly participate in the community.

Design
The community's slogan is "Bleed Purple." The design is very clean and simple, but we appreciate it when people try to fuse their subreddit with the Reddit icon. I really love the icon on this subreddit. The other standard features are present, except for the purple color cover and similar shades in the "Filter by Flair" category. You would find options such as "Posts," "Wiki," "Clip Contest Winners," "Community Events," "AMA," and "Subreddit Links" at the top of the page under the name. Lastly, you would find Twitch links near the bottom of the page.
The "hero section" on the main page has a "Create Post" bar followed by sorting features like "Hot, New, Top, and Rising." Towards the right there are information about the community and other important sections. These include "Filter by Flair," "Events," "Quick Updates," "Rules," and more.
Content
The most popular content on this subreddit is, unsurprisingly, posts that have received the most upvotes.

Hello men and boys,
It has come to our attention that many of you donate money to female streamers in hope that one day you will be in a relationship with them. However, this is not going to happen. We urge you to stop doing this as it only contributes to Girls Against Gaming's (GAG) negative reputation.
Content that garners the most upvotes by 2020 will be considered the most popular content of the year.
Twitch donated a million dollars to Dr. Lupos St. Judes charity stream on September 3rd, 2017 - garnering 3,700 upvotes in the process.
isn't going to save them
Twitch is digging their own grave because they received 2,400 upvotes for an ad. This means that their ad did not work well and people were not interested in it.
and counting - I want to say thank you
To my one viewer, 1,900 upvotes and counting, I would like to say thank you.
I regret to announce that I will no longer be viewing Twitch content on any other platform but through the PC browser. I have received 1,900 upvotes for this announcement.

My outlook on streaming completely changed due to the 1,800 upvotes on a post that my follower posted.
