Twitch Giving Out Free Subs Months After Accidental Cancellations

4.2
Yesterday, several Twitch users realised there were a few wonky instances happening with their service. Many streamers and fans alike were noticing that suddenly a few of their favorite subscriptions suddenly disappeared, which also wipes out the sub streak. Luckily, Twitch was made aware of the issue and was able to turn it around very quickly.


"If you were mistakenly unsubscribed from a channel, we've restored your sub status & sub streak. You'll also receive a free sub month on us! (Streamers still get paid) We're sorry for the delay. We needed to understand and fix all underlying causes and restore everything first."


It sounds great but it looks like the process isn't as instantaneous as many were hoping. Many subscribers are still reporting that their subs are missing, and streamers are reporting similar information. Badge status is still reporting to be lagging behind the fix, but Twitch is assuring fans that it is looking into all affected areas of this downtime.

Twitch likes to keep the community feedback positive without any problems. Great to see they kept to their track and got this under control.

That's what I said like more companies need to do this.


Most companies don't even like to admit they were in the wrong, let alone compensate their users.

Yes, more companies need to follow Twitch and do this when a mistake is happened.

Glad to see them fixing their mistakes although I dont see how they can accidentally cancel members memberships. I personally dont support twitch or any streamer by donations or subscribing, but for sure a nice thing for those who caught on to this.

Glad they are actually doing something, most company's don't.

Recognizing problems and people affected some sort of compensation, more companies need to learn from this no matter how small the problem is

Giving out a free month is very generous of them and I'm glad they're taking responsibility for there own mistakes not many company's do that nowadays.
