Twitch is a free service, but that's no reason for it to be a stubborn one. These recent changes not only effect viewers, but casters as well - limiting our abilities to interact with our audiences. The only people who benefit from these changes are casters of eSports who aren't required to pay attention to their viewers. The greatest joy of livestreaming is being able to interact with the caster you're watching and even though livestreaming is the focal point of this website, it's becoming harder and harder for us to interact. Features are constantly added to the website (integration with Minecraft, EVE Online, and Next-Gen consoles to name a few) and that's GREAT, but they are being added BEFORE the current ones are fixed/stable - who cares where or how you can stream if the experience is overall mediocre/poor? This petition is created to stop Twitch from adding NEW features until the OLD ones are fixed - it isn't really too much to ask

As a low-end streamer trying to work my way up to being a partner, the increased delay between video and streamer is absolutely killing me. The only reason I KEPT streaming and got a new computer was BECAUSE of the chat interaction...

This is, honestly, a very poor decision on the part of Twitch TV. The delay ruins the whole point of even having a chat, which the caster uses to interact with his/her fanbase and followers, showing them that they are thankful for their support.

I realize that innovation is a necessary process, but does it have to be at the cost of the casters? We have enough problems with other services. We don't need more problems with companies causing all of our sites to cost us viewers and money.

I make it an absolute point to actively interact with my viewers. This delay is dissatisfactory to this point and everyone else that does, too. It cripples channels trying to get started as well.

Twitch, I like using your service, but these problems have to be FIXED... NOW. Not in a week or two, not next year, NOW. I stream and there's a 10 second delay between what I say/do on x-split and what comes up on twitch. That's 10 seconds too long. Until you fix this, I will NEVER use twitch again.

As a "community" streamer myself, the recent changes have made the delay exceptionally bad for me. And my inability to have my stream running for more than 20 mins at a time probably has something to do with the new changes as well. I am not happy about it.
