Sadly, many of us can’t afford to just switch platforms, because the small community we have there would t follow us on a whim. And few are those who want to start back at square one. So, as much as I hate Amazon, I can’t see myself moving. And there isn’t much serious concurrence, let’s be honest.

There is a reasonable reason for this on the technical side. Most of twitch uses an aws database called DynamoDB, which is distributed, and sometimes has read-only-replicas, as well as uses caching on requests. This means that a write (settings update) can take a bit to get populated to everything.

Its a well known computer science problem known as eventually consistency, and its the reason that you sometimes see a stream title get changed, but it not actually update in the UI. Its unfortunately largely unavoidable when at the scale twitch etc. is. Tho it can be mitigated.

The biggest thing is to make sure that it gets handled gracefully in situations like this. Not send an update to undo a settings change on a reload for example. I think if you had given it a minute, the setting would have shown up as changed just fine.

There's really a lot of envy around you and that's coming from someone so close to you. You have really been a person with a pure heart and your aura shines so bright kindly inbox me rn I have an important message for you from the universe

I added the instructions as scrolling text on my overlay to help it spread as much as I can with my small reach! That way anyone who clicks on for a bit will see it at least
