New Extensions Policy for global overlay Extensions

I also agree with the above comments.

Additionally, I have gripes with 4.10.2 as it leaves up a lot for interpretation - what is considered “interactive” - is a single button that reacts to being clicked by showing a different text enough? Not all Extensions make changes to what is happening on stream, but rather fall into what @Dist said with “Minigames”, think the Pokémon or StreamLabs/Elements one where you click randomly appearing elements to “collect” something. This does not “influence” the Stream directly, but incentivizes users to pay attention to the stream and increases retention (and thus even theoretically Ad Impressions as Viewers are less likely to walk away).

In the end, i can see a more percise wording of these rules work. What Exactly do these Rules target? Are there exampley of “bad behaviour”? As far as I understand it, these rules aim to regulate Extensions that “Do Nothing” and don’t add value/information. For example a static image, which, to my knowledge, wouldn’t exactly pass review anyway. I agree that pure “Visual Blockers” should not be allowed, but Extensions allowing the flexibility of showing Info about the Streamer are a valid usecase, or maybe even be a decent spot to place sponsor rotations that the User can move to anywhere on the Screen where it least annoys them - or even hide them by disabling the Extension.

TL;DR: I can understand these new rules, but they need more percise examples of what is and is not allowed.
