Everyone takes pride in the fact that they have subbed to a channel for 12 months, 24 months, 36 months even. The streamers are proud and the community is proud! What happens when a viewer runs into hard times? Sometimes life is more important and you have to do what you have to do to keep a roof over your head or your electricity on. You end up having to skip a month to ensure life matters are taken care of. What happens to your sub record? it gets wiped out and you reset back to 1 month! This is disheartening and in many case makes a person unmotivated to continue subscribing because now their record is reset. I can speak from personal experience that there have been times where i have had to cancel my subscription renewal because it would hit my account only a day or two before my paycheck hit my account. Honestly a $35 fee for overdrawing my bank account is not an affordable reason to maintain a subscription to any channel.
In light of life and everything it tends to throw at you all at once, i have a proposal. With this proposal i present 2 options:
1. The system be changed to track total months subbed rather then how many months in a row.
2, A suspend subscription option for up to 30 days to continue your subscription and maintain your sub streak record.
It is in my opinion that this will help keep people motivated to continue to supporting the channels the love. With the introduction of gift subs recently, i feel that this would also be another validating point behind option 2. while a persons subscription is suspended for up to 30 days, the community can use "gift a sub" to help them out as well. Then they can reactivate their subscription to keep it going!

Limit what you see. I've seen a lot of people complain about how they don't like Battle Royal games (I personally like them). I personally don't like Horror type games. I'm sure I'm not alone with people having opinions about various genres.
The idea:
Allow an option on your account to select what type of games you see. If you don't want to see Battle Royal games, you select no battle royal games seen. As well as any others.

I know this can limit an audience greatly from a business stand point, but giving the viewer more options about what they want to see is similar to what Netflix, or many other streaming platforms, do.

This can also provide valuable data to Mixer as they can see where a lot of their viewers (who are willing and able to dive into their settings) want to see, or are most interested in for a stream; inversely what they are LEAST interested in as well.

Thoughts?

I would like to say how disappointed I am that some of my favorite streamers are leaving mixer for twitch, however upon talking to them, the twitch affiliate program is a very common reason. I think it's time Mixer has one of their own.

This would allow streamers to work towards a middle ground, unlocking the sub button and potentially getting 1 custom emote so viewers are also rewarded. Upon doing this I could understand requirement for partner potentially going up to 1,000 followers while the affiliate program requires 500, and instead of affiliate call it Mixer buddies, Mixer Arc, or something to differentiate it from Twitch.

Not only does this allow streamers to feel like they can achieve goals in a step by step climb, but also the Twitch streamers who are on the fence due to the lack of this 1 feature would feel more inclined to make the switch or come back if they were here before.

If this idea is considered I can even break it down even more on how this can be a success for both streamers and mixer themselves. Thank you for the consideration!

I love to help out and support the streaming community and the best way/most beneficial way for everyone is by donating subscriptions.

However, it;s come to my attention that I cannot gift subscriptions unless I create/login to a Microsoft account. In result i'm certain it is restricting not only the platform and not only the streamer but also people such as my self AND the people on the receiving end of the sub gift. I'm enabled to purchase a subscription for myself using my Twitter login and putting my card credentials in with the "Stripe Checkout" but I'm not enabled to gift a subscription using my Twitter login? Again, it seems like a negative draw back for not only the company but everyone else within the community, it's a loss in sales because I'm not wiling to use my Microsoft account for transactions because it's my xbox account that I no longer use and I don't need to make another Microsoft account just to be able to access a feature that benefits the company.

Along with that the Android app for Mixer does NOT allow you to sign in with a Twitter or Facebook like the browser version does which again is most likely causing a slower adoption rate for the mobile app. If there were more options for the mobile app myself and plenty others would gladly use it more often.

In conclusion the things I've discussed above would benefit the platform as well as the streamers even more with very minimal adjustments. I find it inconstant that I have the option to subscribe to a streamer when I'm logged in with my Twitter account and login with my Twitter account on the browser version of Mixer but I can't gift subs on my Twitter login or even login with my Twitter on the mobile app.

Fixing these small inconstancy would benefit everyone, help the platform grow and make it more widely adopted.

Lots of Korean user is having troubles on logging in and registering on Mixer. (having issues on logging in and registering with Microsoft account)

Mixer need to provide simple registering method like twitch.
Registering with Email verifying only.

I also had same problems when I first started to stream on Mixer.
I had to make new twitter account to create Mixer account since I could not make Mixer account with my Microsoft account, could not log in with the Microsoft account that I created through Mixer.

I have asked the customer service and they tried their best to help me out, but the viewers who tried to log in, they told me that the way to register is way to complicated and they gave up.

Please Mixer, make the registration and login step easier for new people.
Most of the people that I've invited to Mixer platform, they gave up on registering with the login steps...

Okay, so for some people their internet had a data cap, let's just say 1TB of data (which is very high compared to most) we obviously dont want to go through that data cap when watching our favorite streamers and farming for sparks. I was hoping to see an option, possibly in settings, where you can set a maximum stream quality for viewing, so when the streamer you watch hosts somebody at midnight, it doesnt just bump up to 720p and burn through your data while you sleep. I would suggest there be an option to toggle data cap mode on, and pick the maximum stream quality to want for viewing to avoid slamming into a data cap. This option can be turned off entirely if the user choses, AND is stock off for new members. Find this new feature under account settings and it will force every stream to view in the quality you set (144p, 480p, 720p, ect.) So we can all watch Mixer all the time with no worries of having to spend money on overages ;)
Vote and let's make it a thing!!!

Whenever you currently gift Mixer Pro to another viewer on Mixer, it appears on the billing section of your account on the 'Gifts Tab' here: https://mixer.com/browse/following(hub:me/billing/gifts)

At the minute there is no way to check who you have gifted a channel subscription to or who you have been gifted a channel subscription from unless you check invoices which are limited on how far you can go back or by digging through your e-mail inbox.

There has been a few times I've been lurking in channels and received a gifted sub and not known who gifted it after returning so was unable to thank them.

I was thinking it might be easiest to sort both Mixer Pro and Channel Subscriptions by "Gifts Sent" & "Gifts Received" on the one page. Basically Mixer Pro gifts wouldn't need to change much but would allow you to see who gifted you Mixer Pro in the past.

For Channel Subscriptions sent - you would see the 'order #' - who you gifted the subscription too and in which channel did you gift the subscription.

Channel Subscriptions received - you would see the username of the member who gifted you the subscription and in which channel.

It might take a while to get the right idea on how to display this information on the Billing>Gifts tab however I feel it will complete this tab as personally it's felt pretty empty unless you are someone who constantly gifts Mixer pro.

I find one of the biggest issues for most users switching from Twitch over to Mixer, is the ability to show your loyalty from one platform to the other. These communities of small and even large channels need to retain many of the viewers who have watched for years and will continue to do so despite a platform change.

I'm simply going to propose the idea of taking the year badges off of Twitch and applying them to the people within Mixer. This may be a tough implementation, but it will definitely be a great one.

I don't have much knowledge on website design outside of website builders such as Wix or Shopify so I won't give any tips concerning that. I would rate the website a 6.5/10.

Fantastic start up though. Keep up the great work.
