Current issue with featuring twitch streamers

Hi,

Today the twitch streams won't be featured, because twitch is dropping an API we use for that.

We're working on a solution, and we're pretty confident that everything will be in order by tomorrow.
Oh, so that was why I couldn't see anyone on the list of streamers but was still able to see a stream even when I clicked the offline stream icon.
I was about to post if I should report streamers. There is just some inadvertent swearing which may be inappropriate for the younger viewers. Then the question of which (or both) site should I submit the complaint.

Still a great site, keep up the good work.
@jonesmh Twitch doesn't ban swearing so reporting the streamer to them won't do much. However, the streamer can mark their stream is for mature audiences. My solution would be to just stop watching that streamer and supporting their channel with viewer stats.

How would my avoiding any subject correct the situation? I haven't been offended by any human action, but society seems to want to protect children from certain acts.
As I watch through lichess.org, my viewing doesn't get registered with twitch.
If you can't find a feasible solution, I suggest that you not ...
My apologies, I thought your OP was because you were offended. In that case the only idea I have is kids mode not letting kids view streamers.

As for watching twitch through lichess, your name and ID isn't registered with twitch but you are still a viewer that IS registered and any streamer who looks at their stream report after a stream can see how many people saw their stream and where they came from. It will only say how many people watched through the web and lichess is a part of that stat. The number of viewers watching is what helps the channel. I attached a picture from one of my stream summaries. ibb.co/9ZkQ0vt
