Twitch 'Pin channel' bug where channels get unpinned or removed gets acknowledged (workaround inside)

Despite gaining popularity as a games streaming platform, Twitch has evolved into other categories, where you can see content creators vlogging, cooking, making music, singing, and much more.

Twitch has recently released a new feature where streamers and viewers can pin their 3 favorite channels and chats on top of the sidebar in the interface.

This can be used by streamers to convey information to a particularly fast-moving chat so that the same message does not have to be repeated either by them or the moderators.

However, multiple Twitch users are currently facing an issue where their pinned channels get unpinned or removed randomly after some time (1,2,3,4,5).

@TwitchSupport @Twitch so whats the point of pinning channel on the browser if once they went offline and comeback to online removes from my “pin channel” that I have to re-add it again. Seems useless.

Currently, users have to constantly re-pin the channels as they get removed every time.
