Biggest opportunity: “twitch” and “twitch api” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 25.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

I have fixed this plugin on my site and bought the pro version because I consider it essential to collect all the streams of my friends on my website. Do not look for anything better, you will not find it! In addition, with a luxury support for any questions you have to integrate it, surprising !!
