Right it's not a total fix, but it at least would temporarily allow the streamer to retain control of things until the raid is through.
Yeah that seems fine, but the problem with the script is something I saw in Jim's Vid. They Name the bots offensive things and the chat script wont censor the names of chatters. So that would have to be manually dealt with.
Yes, they get botted too, but not to the absurd degree those that are a person of color, gay, lesbian, or trans face. The tournament people only get it once in awhile or rarely.
It could be hours if you really get targeted. The people doing this are most likely terminally online; they have all the time in the world.
They don't, but sub-only is an active deterrent for new viewers.
It's about the personalities and the people games play. I don't watch that many people on Twitch either. I have about three people at best, and that's it. Sometimes 4, if I'm curious, but not much else. I'm a big fan of Max Dood and the Yovideogames crew. The smaller channels that do go on Twitch I like, are Omega Sphere and Seraphim17. That's it
And it obviously matters more to them. Once a stream has roughly 2k viewers the chat becomes hard to navigate and at 5k you can no longer converse no matter how hard you try. LEC had hundreds of thousands of viewers yesterday. Even a thousand bot messages are only a curiosity.
I feel like if a viewer sees what's happening without the sub only mode, then they are understanding of why the sub only thing is required at that moment. I don't really buy this as a concern tbh. Besides if a viewer wants to support the streamer they'd sub anyway.
Yes, you frequently dismiss the concerns of the people who are actually going through whatever it is you're dismissing, shock.

You actually can already do this. Here is a screenshot from my Twitch settings
I mean its completely true. The average Twitch user age is between 13 and 17, and the most popular stream is the "just chat" stream.
Hey, that's not at all what I suggested, thanksYou actually can already do this. Here is a screenshot from my Twitch settings
Note you can actively turn off raids, or only allow raids from people you know/friended.
Again Twitch has tools in place. What is the problem with using them?
Not really. It's an active deterrent against growing a stream and people really aren't just willing to throw five bucks at the computer screen like that. I mean, if I were to subscribe I'd choose someone who doesn't have to go through hate raids with sub only mode.
It isn't. Just Chatting is the most popular yes, but the first female streamer, for example right now, is 14th in terms of viewers (and calling Jinny a camgirl would be very wrong). About age demographics: "Nearly half of all Twitch users are between the ages 18 to 34, and 21% are ages 13 to 17."
Well see, this is a different argument and understandable. But there is also something to be said about you, if you can't understand that a hate raid is not the streamers fault, and would be worse if the streamer sits there and does nothing.
Your suggestion allows for abuse, as the botter can make their username sound like someone the streamer knows. If you are hoping for a random raid from someone, you have no way to tell if that person is a bot spammer or not in the quick time an "accept" button would require, especially if the streamer is in the middle of a show or game or whatever. So it wouldn't work better than the tool already provided and in place.
From Twitch itself:
As opposed to now?
It's pretty easy for a human to spot bot names that algorithms have a problem with. Give it a 5 minute timer for a quick search or a "click the link to view channel" pop up so you know it's legit
What "allowed raids list"?
