GIFS
I'd like to share some feedback regarding Twitch's new GIF feature for Tier 2 and Tier 3 subscribers.
First, the GIF library provided by the current platform feels very limited and outdated, with a poor selection of GIFs compared to other popular GIF websites. It would be great to see an integration with a more comprehensive and widely used GIF library, offering a much broader variety of content.
Second, and perhaps more importantly, a large number of GIFs simply don't work when users try to send them in chat. This makes the feature frustrating to use and significantly limits its usefulness.
The feature has a lot of potential, especially as an additional benefit for Tier 2 and Tier 3 subscribers, but the GIF selection and reliability need significant improvement to make it worthwhile.
I hope Twitch considers improving the GIF provider and fixing the issues that prevent GIFs from working properly. Thank you for your time and for continuing to improve the platform!

Agreed, in my experience maybe 1 out of 10 will work and these are completely innocent ones, nothing NSFW. This needs to be tweaked to work better.
