I believe these recommendations combined would positively make a huge impact for every streamer and supporter.

Change the payout split between streamers and Twitch. Right now affiliates and most partners only get a 50% split from a Twitch subscriptions ($2.50 USD). I would like to see all streamers get a minimum 70% revenue split from subscriptions with a higher revenue split for all partners 80%. Currently both Facebook and YouTube streamers get a 70% split from subscriptions (and they have the option to create custom subscriber tiers with Youtube).

In addition, I would like to see Twitch lower its payout minimum which is currently $100 USD to $10 - $20 USD. A $100 USD payout is the equivalent to 40 subscriptions not including bits or ad revenue. For the smaller streamers to benefit from that financial support a viewer gives them, they need to be able to actually receive it in a reasonable amount of time.

To put this in perspective: Amazon Affiliates monthly payout minimum is 10 USD (they also give the option to pay out with gift cards) and Patreon's monthly payout minimum is only 3 USD.

This is a 2 part feature request.

First: In the same way that bits lets you select any bit badge, gift badges should stay consistent with this idea. I would like to be able to select any badge I've earned even lower values.

Second: We need more gift sub badges than the current 1000 cap. I know plenty of people in streams I frequent that already passed this including myself. In the same way that bit badges keep going, the gift badges could be designed to be inverted at the next levels to be distinct. I'm actually at the 1.25 bit badge and that level of badges are super awesome to see. I'd like to see the same for gifts because honestly, while I like supporting the streamers I like, that bit badge is huge encouragement to add as well. Just saying that twitch is missing out on a lot money by not giving us more achievements for gifting.

Hello Twitch Team,

I use bits very much and also like gifted subs. Unfortunately I have the "problem" with the subs that you can only buy and spend them directly.

Therefore, it would be great if you can buy and store gifted subs, similar to bits, to allocate them specifically.

This would have the advantage for users that you can buy a large package and not always have individual bills.
For Twitch it has the advantage that you already have the money and it must be given later to the streamer.
In addition, the User would certainly tend to spend more money for gifted subs.

I hit affiliate and was taking off, but then life happened and now I can't stream as much (many friends in the same boat). We want to be able to stream when we can, without the added pressure of people subbing or gifting subs. When people pay to see our content for a whole month, and we don't know when we're streaming again next, it makes us feel obligated to stream more.

Receiving bits, having channel points, and having emotes is still something that would be nice to keep, but at least letting us turn off subs as we please would be great. Another use case is during charity events - I would rather people donate to the charity than subscribe to my channel.

Came across this while reading about sub gifter badge: "It stays visible for as long as any gift sub you have given is active, and disappears when your gifted subs expire" I found out today that this was a thing. Which to me is strange because some people gift a lot of subs to support a streamer and the one perk they are being given is temporary, lasting a month at most. I thought it was a bug that the sub gifter badge would go missing but that apparently was not true. I really think it should be permanent. Some people have hit a thousand gifted subs in channels only for it to disappear.

Dont Gift Subs to Non Followers it's disappointing when someone who has no intention of watching your stream is gifted a sub, maybe they came by for a minute or two and weren't interested, maybe you beat them in a game and they came by and said something rude then left, maybe they pulled it up on an alt account on their phone before switching to their main account to follow you. Either way it is a waste to gift subs to accounts that have no intention of watching your stream and is an insult to the gifter who's obviously gifting subs with the intention that it will help you grow your stream, otherwise they'd just donate to you directly. Seems an easy fix to make the algorithm give subs to only followers at least until every follower of the account is a sub. Not sure why this isn't a thing already.

Basically you buy twitchprime but instead of having all the “amazon perks” you get more perks on twitch!

If you want only one prime token you pay 3$ a month and get a special badge.

If you want two prime tokens you get “real subs” that will automatically resub every month
You pay 8$ a month

Want 5 tokens or more?
Get a gift sub for free so you can help someone out?!
You pay 20$ a month

And this way people will be cheaper out with subs but still pay twitch more than if they used amazon prime. They are able to support their streamer(s) while at the same time being incentivized to buy more than one sub!

Also i think there should be more events where subs are discounted cus your main audience isn’t the rich working class. But teenagers and or younger

This is something similar to what has already been requested via this link a few years ago (Amazon Smile Charity Integration for bits/subs and broadcasts): https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310231-subscriptions/suggestions/19052218-amazon-smile-charity-integration-for-bits-subs-and

What I am suggesting is having an option for streamers to decide if they would like their payouts to either be sent to them directly, or if they would like 100% of their payouts be sent to a charity of their choosing. If ever implemented this can be selected by new Affiliates that are going through the application process by selecting where they would like to see their payouts go to, if they select the charity option a page would then appear showing the available charities that have been checked & approved by Twitch itself that the streamer could then select for 100% of their payouts to go to. For existing Affiliates or Partners this option could be found under the Affiliate/Partner options page where they can change between receiving the money directly, or giving it to a charity, this can be changed at any time back & forth and the switch would take full effect on the next available payout. This would be great to see if some streamers for example planned to do a month long charity event, they switch their payout option to going to a charity, they pick the charity they want the money to go to and then from the time after the last payout until the next available payout, all sub, bit & ad revenue that has been accumulated around that time would then be given to that said charity.

This would I feel be a wonderful thing to see be available on the platform, with Twitch and many of its streamers who have helped many wonderful charities & causes in the past having something like this be available for current Affiliate/Partnered streamers & also for new streamers who don’t want to do this for the money but would love to have the extra perks that Twitch provides for its Affiliates & Partners, having an option where 100% of all revenue made can be given to a charity would be a great thing to see become a reality. Getting subs & bits sent by your community where all of the money goes to a good cause plus you get all the perks such as emote slots, channel points, being able to upload videos etc would be a huge win win for streamers that are not Affiliates because they don’t want to do it for the money, but would really love to have the extra features.

When checking subscription information on the Twitch mobile app there is a discrepancy in the language used which can lead to confusion and unintentional and unwanted payments.

When viewing the summary of all current subscriptions, subs set to renew do include a line which states that they will be renewing and the date of renewal, however — in the expanded info on a subscription, regardless of whether a subscription is set to renew or will be ending, it says that the subscription will be expiring on that date. While user caution is important, this discrepancy can (and has, in my case, as when I view my subscription info I go directly to the page with the most info) lead to unintentional and unwanted renewal of subscriptions.

My suggestion is to change the expanded information language to match the summary information language for a cohesive message that prevents any confusion.
