The concept seems solid but we'll see how the actual implementation is rolled out. Lotta people about to be banned across the entire site lmao.

I've seen streamers ban over some pretty petty shit. The trolls are just going to do their thing and make new accounts.
This makes more sense to me. Cross banning shouldn't be decided by a single streamer. I've seen people get banned for the most harmless opinions.
They do, but this allows you to share a list of banned users from your chat with others. So if you have a group of other Twitch streamers you often play with you can now choose to share those lists among each other to ensure the people banned in your friend's chat is also banned in your chat.
This is a great idea although I can see it going wrong. Say you have a terrible/toxic streamer and someone in that person's chat calls that person out for it. Terrible/toxic streamer (let's just call them BarkTideSill) makes up crap and shares their ban user with other streamers. That person, who on every other stream, doesn't cause problems but find they can't get in now to other streams.
Hopefully though, it'll get terrible people off Twitch.

One of the options streamers have to restrict chat is to phone-verified accounts only.
Not that you can't get through that, but it'd be slow and expensive.
As far as I know, a lot of professional streamers network. What I imagine would happen is that the lists will tend to get divided among which subsets of streamers want to associate. I'd imagine that chuds will probably more often stick to lists for chuds rather than try to sneak in with lists for more progressive streamers.
I don't think people would want to be in the same clique as BarkTideSill unless they feel that that's how you play.
I think this will lead to no one challenging a popular streamer for shit behavior cause who would want to be banned in all the top streams. Will just turn chats into an echo chamber.
The shared ban list is one small thing that was quickly shown during a formal stream that announced a few other features today.
Guest Star which when launched later this year will allow people to join the stream straight from chat using Twitch as an interface bypassing Discord or Ping.
Channel Switcher which changes the category interface to let you preview up to one minute of a stream with no ads and without loading the stream's dedicated page.
And finally custom tags so that communities can write their own tags for things such as specific type of speedruns, etc. The search engine on Twitch will be updated to read these tags when the custom tags launch.
