Haven’t used Twitch in awhile and was surprised when trying to follow a channel only to see a phone verification prompt.

    They changed things so that a phone number is needed to DM people as well. I wouldn’t mind, but I would have thought a long-standing account with good public participation, no bans and maybe the odd sub or two would have been enough not to need that.

    I’m assuming the phone number database will at some point be sold to a telemarketing agency, or else accidentally (or accidentally on purpose) leaked. Not a fan.
