Like Spotify, Reddit and Nintendo, Twitch is offering users a snapshot of their 2021 activity. Among other stats, Twitch Recap tells users how long viewers watched broadcasts or how much time creators spent playing games for viewers or streaming from their hot tubs this year.

There was a catch, though. Twitch users needed to opt in to marketing emails in advance. "In order to receive the Recap you had to opt-in for marketing emails prior to them being sent," Twitch said on its support Twitter account. "Unfortunately, we aren't able to manually re-send recaps."

We're seeing some confusion about the recap.

Naturally, the replies to that tweet are full of complaints from disappointed folks who didn't realize they'd switched off marketing emails or wereunaware they needed to opt in. Others suggested Twitch should have offered the recap on its website and app, as so many other services do.
