1. Having three emotes available at $4.99 instead of $9.99/$24.99 gives viewers/followers more motivation to subscribe.

2. Three emotes (instead of one) help affiliates stand up against partners with tons of emotes, especially when some people subscribe to partners ONLY for their emotes.

3. Emotes serve as free advertising for the channel when subscribers use them in different streams or on Discord. (People will check out the affiliate if they like the emotes and possibly subscribe.)

4. More emotes at $4.99 can lead to more subscriptions which helps the channel grow. Subscriptions lead to higher viewership which can help affiliate streamers become partners.

5. Most Importantly -- New Subs = More $$$ for affiliates AND Twitch!

A lot of affiliates have thousands of supporters but fall just short of the 75 viewer average required for partnership. Having three emotes at $4.99 would benefit the streamer, their community and of course, TWITCH!

Right now, the Path to Partner achievements depend on the number of average concurrent viewers (>75). Some channels have a smaller community but a large amount of monetary support benefiting Twitch. The Path to Partner achievements should be modified to support the high-quality channels that are attracting paying subscribers to Twitch but which might have smaller active viewing communities.

For example, it might be reasonable for partner status to unlock either at:

75 viewers and 0 subscriber points
50 viewers and 25 subscriber points maintained for 3 months
25 viewers and 50 subscriber points maintained for 6 months

Rather than keeping average viewers as the sole gold standard, which is easier to fake or briefly profit from with a surge of one-time viewership.

Hey Twitch Feedback!

My name is Vaughn Whiskey and I am a affiliate on Twitch. I love that we can now gift subs to people but as a streamer around the holiday months I want to gift subs to viewers for a Christmas gift. Now the problem is that I have to try and do it when their sub runs out and asking them when their sub is out kind of ruins the surprise.

I would love to see stack-able gifting so say it's half way through their sub i can gift them another month for them ahead of their "due date"

Please consider this, it makes things way too difficult when it comes to giving back to a streamers community.

You usually get an event at Twitch if you have a large company. As a Partner on Twitch, that should also be possible. For example, if the partner wants to do a ticket stream, it is often not possible to use Cheer with Bits and unlock!

What can the partner with Cheer with Bits and unlock loot?
That can be for example partner Twitch Lootboxen as that cheer in his or her stream.

Twitch Stream Paid Ticket what is that?
If the streamer turns this on, you have to buy a ticket to see a one-off special stream or pay monthly to see streamers. That could be how you could buy games in the same way.

If there are any questions ask them in comments.

As an introverted person, I'd very much appreciate the option of subscribing "quietly". So if I check a box, twitch alerts for this particular sub (including chat announcement) don't trigger, but I get to continue supporting my favorite streamers. Users would still have the option of using the "regular" sub alert (probably by default), for example for x-yr anniversaries, congratulatory PB/WR subs, etc, etc. Basically, sometimes you feel like being social, and sometimes you don't. Having lots of fanfare for subbing is not something everyone wants.

Indeed subscribing when a streamer is not streaming is an option, but the idea is to lower the barrier for supporting streamers via subs, and I imagine there's a large percentage of twitch's viewership that is introverted and/or has social anxiety and would appreciate this feature. This doesn't discourage engagement because the target audience for this feature is probably already lurking! Streamers and twitch will benefit from the greater number of subscribers. Win-win all around.

So i watch a channel but i keep getting pop ups saying (Watch Now) but that channel sadly has it on sub mode only calling it "on demand videos"which no one watches bu maybe 1-3 people which i kinda realize how pointless having sub mode for past broadcast is if only subs watch it and if your subs watch it.

I propose Watch now only shows up to the channel if your sub to the channel, if your not sub it shouldn't show up as well if you click the X it also shows more videos you can't watch. can it just be hidden please.
