Technical background question: Does switching up the client version change anything in terms of communication with Twitch backend? Just wondering about this what the fuck moment ;-)

Twitch has several clients, that can access the site. These include:

Since all of these need to access Twitch features in a different way, Twitch decided to use different Client IDs for each of those. It's a simple string of characters, that identifies the client to Twitch as of particular type. Besides that, the main URL is different, as shown above.

Here are all of the clients defined:

When Twitch blocks something on one client, they usually don't do so on the other client. We can juggle between them to get around Twitch messing up the miner's access.
