CohhCarnage suggests fix to \u2018scam\u2019 hype trains on Twitch Twitch \/ CohhCarnagePopular streamer Ben \u2018CohhCarnage\u2019 Cassell has suggested a way for Twitch to fix hype trains, sometimes dubbed \u201cscam trains\u201d by rewarding viewers with something that is more valuable upon completion. Released in January 2020, Twitch introduced The Hype Train \u2013 sometimes jokingly referred to as \u201cThe Scam Train\u201d \u2013 to the platform. The Hype Train is a community-driven challenge that is kicked off during an influx of donations and subscriptions to a streamer based on a threshold set. Viewers can participate and help try to fill the Hype-o-Meter which goes up to five tiers by using Bits, subscribing, and gifting subs. With each tier hit, participants will receive emotes to use in chat at the end of the goal. However, as pointed out by CohhCarnage, the Hype Train doesn\u2019t provide much value to the viewers. In a tweet on January 6, the veteran streamer CohhCarnage, who began his career on Twitch in 2013, gave suggestions on how the platform can fix the Hype Train. \u201cHype Trains are jokingly called Scam Trains on Twitch because viewers get nothing from them,\u201d claimed CohhCarnage. \u201cThe current emotes provided are not wanted or used.\u201d The streamer continued, requesting that streamers get to upload five custom emotes that can be unlocked by viewers: \u201cLet us put 5 custom emotes in there. Everyone in the channel gets them unlocked with the levels for 24 hours. Huge win for everyone.\u201d Hype Trains are jokingly called Scam Trains on Twitch because viewers get nothing from them.

Partners will get 5 more emote slots (which every partner wants).\u201d \u201cTwitch gets more money as everyone will want to turn on their trains and get them used to get out the emotes.
