Communities are a new discovery tool to help streamers connect to the most relevant audiences and help viewers discover streams that fit their interests easier and faster than ever. Using self-organizing, public groups centered around specific activities (e.g. a type of gameplay like speedrunning, or an activity such as painting) Communities puts more power to discover, share, and connect with new content, friends, and followers in your hands.

The twitch creative side seems like since you can only stream to one community at a time and this is taking over the hashtag based method of describing what you are doing, and the creative community is so small, That this could hurt creative streamers being found in a way that it wouldn't affect the gamer community.

If I was Amazon I'd also be worrying about beam coming out. Hell knows what it's gonna be like.

Agreed, Beam has a lot of features that twitch is lacking, though they seem to mainly be ignoring the creative streamers.

I already saw some cancerous shit there.

Anyway, when will Twitch finally increase bitrate?!
