Stop the auto triggering hypetrains
We are seeing Hype Train Level 1 0% trains randomly starting in streams when there have been zero resubs, subs, gifted subs, bits etc that should initiate a hype train. It feels like it is artificially manufacturing hype, and further means that if people come in 20 minutes later and actually do things that would start a hype train it won't trigger because there has already been one for that hour. I get why this is there, but it's really leaving a sour taste in several streamer's communities, especially when they already have hype train triggers that now artificially trigger when these automatic hype trains start. Please stop this, or make it so that streamers can opt out of them.

A a viewer, I really dislike seeing hype trains with no trigger. I get a kick out of actual hype trains and actively try to be a conductor when I can. "Fake" hype trains are not hype, they're off-putting and counter productive. Please stop.

The artificial hype trains feel as if they completely defeat the purpose of hype trains to begin with, and very often seem to actually produce the *opposite* effect of interrupting stream, throwing a wrench into whatever may be going on with the sudden "surprise!" of a train. It also seems linked to chat interactivity - which is EXTREMELY unreliable for any streamer that has systems, redeems, bots, or even GAMES that work on chat interaction.
This feature being (as far as I can tell) unannounced on any patch notes, and being IMPOSSIBLE to opt-out of is quite frankly an awful idea. This feels unpolished, untested, and honestly as if near to zero thought went into it. Well, zero thought other than "give us your money! now!".

I personally don't even think a gift sub bomb from one person should trigger them, or at least that we should be able to set our own minimums. Please make this optional or turn it back off.

all these "reminders" for people to do things that twitch is putting out likely have the opposite effect. i've not once been "oh I haven't gift subbed? darn i'd better do it now!" all it ends up doing is make me not want to engage with these things, thus costing the streamer naturally occurring support.
Joining the sentiment of "Let us opt out" because it makes sense, and y'all still haven't learned that we want an off switch for all these things you put on our plates!

These auto hype trains are negatively impacting the community's desire to be part of something special. Please give us the ability to Opt Out. Thank you.

Let me opt out of auto hype trains for the reasons stated above. It pressures my community for no reason.

This is actually making it so organic hype trains don't trigger as often in my streams because hype trains aren't as special. It's so awkward to be excited over a hype train when there's no hype in chat. PLEASE remove this. It feels icky inorganically pushing financial support.
