Include Gift Subs in the Partner Plus program The Partner Plus program is a great step in the right direction for creators on Twitch and I am grateful for the opportunity for a 70/30 split.
However, this program should include gift subscriptions.
The requirement of “a sub count of at least 350 recurring paid subscriptions for three consecutive months” is only achievable for a small percentage of streamers, even those with a high CCV that qualifies them to be in the top 1% of the platform. It is not only difficult to achieve for even those dedicated to Twitch, but having this requirement may even discourage gift subscriptions…

This is not just an idea, but the harsh reality... I'm a Twitch Streamer of 7+ years with 3500+ subscribers from Türkiye. I can't make a living anymore. Local sub pricing after all the cuts and taxes is just lunch money, and it is getting harder and harder month after month to have a viable income off of Twitch. The problem is not the Twitch cut, it's simply the price of the subscriptions. 1USD is 28.90TRY right now and Tier1 Subscriptions are 9.90TRY, even if streamers got the full amount paid by viewers on subs, it's nothing. This forces everyone to employ other means of income, making streams and the…

Multiple moderation options for anonymous gift subs please! I'm sure a lot of us have experienced a gift sub from an anonymous gifter to a not so great account name. We currently have NO way to moderate this, which incentivizes repeat offenses.
I suggest implementing:
1) Being able to purge or delete the "Anonymous Gifted a sub to X" message in chat.
2) Toggle gift sub recipients names showing in chat (could be great for more lurker friendly communities too).
3) MODERATION OPTIONS, PLEASE! Let us not just purge but REPORT the anonymous gifter (bonus points for reporting the giftee account name easily too)

Enable Multi-Month Subscriptions for Turbo PROBLEM
At this time, Turbo is only available on a monthly recurring basis.BACKGROUND
However, Subscriptions are available in month, 3 months, and 6 months renewal increments. (This phrasing is pulled directly from the Subscription panel on Twitch. Who does your copy? Anyways…)PROBLEM PART TWO
This discordance in user experience is confusing.ASK
Bring feature parity to Turbo.IMPLEMENTATIONS
Full Feature Parity with Subscriptions - Turbo renewal periods would be: month, 3-month, 6-month and offer the same 10% and 15% discounts
Industry Parity - Monthly or Annual renewal, with a discount equivalent to 2 months on the annual plan…

Fix "Upgrade Subscription" when gifted a sub from another viewer. ISSUE: When someone has gifted a sub to your Twitch account. You are unable to Upgrade sub to Tier 1, 2 or 3 by default.
You MUST go to Subscriptions page -> Disable Current Sub(Which deletes full time left on that gift) -> Resubscribe -> [Mandatory Tier 1 Sub] from that prompt. Then you are able to complete the action of Re-subbing at Tier 2, or 3 from the default Viewing page.
Solution: Cumulative time on Gift sub, with immediate upgrade to Tier 1/2/3 (End-user choice).
Workaround: Default "Disable" triggered from the Stream chat view, allowing "Upgrade Subscription" button to…

Better Transparency of 'Fees' in Affiliate/Partner Payouts Twitch advertises a 50/50 revenue split for affiliates and partners - however, this is becoming increasingly untrue. The affiliate agreement outlines that certain costs or taxes are deducted before creators receive payouts, however these 'fees' are becoming more aggregious, whilst remaining perpetually unclear.
At present, a US viewer gifting 5 subs costs the viewer $29.95. As a UK streamer, I receive $10 of this support. Instead of the 50% promised ($14.98), $4 of this disappears to "Fees". These fees are described as 'certain costs' and 'taxes', however these are never specifically outlined or clearly broken down for the creator.
Example…

ppv events ie one time / one day custom priced subscriptions Would like the idea to host PPV events on stream.
This is a spin off of subscriber only streams, but let the user set the price of the PPV stream, whether its a special anniversary stream or a live event.
Pros: adds another line of revenue for streamers
Adds a different experience for creators and chat
Easily scalable
Scenarios: sub anniversary stream, concert, album launch, travel stream, birthday stream, digital event, podcast/video podcast, special guests appearance,7 votes -
Move Prime Subscription Option Back to Front Panel When Clicking Subscribe/Re-Subscribe Please bring the option to subscribe with Prime back to the front panel when clicking the option to subscribe or re-subscribe. Moving it under the "Elevate your Subscription" option requires unnecessary extra clicks and can also cause confusion. Some may think the option is not available due to country restrictions or they may think they don't have a Prime sub to use.

Ability to change Twitch Product ID One thing that always confused me as an affiliate is that you can change your emote prefix with a username change but it is impossible to change your product ID for your channel which is what your viewers are directed to when they purchase a subscription for you channel. My username has been DataXemnas for 3.5 years but viewers get directed to twitch.tv/products/talhajam when they want to purchase a subscription for my channel. I've contacted support about this before and they say it is absolutely impossible to change it. I find this hard to believe and that this is a…

Better support for mental health issues for customers and streamers I believe Twitch needs to do better with how they handle mental health policies. I couldn't find any mention on Twitch's website mentioning having any support for those with disabilities, either physical or mental. From what I have researched online, companies as large as Twitch should have some sort of adherence to the Disabilities Act.
I recently emailed Twitch asking for a refund because of gift sub purchases I made during a Manic episode during a mental health crisis. Those who suffer from severe Mania can be known to knock down a wall in their house to start a home…2 votes -
Student Discount Hey! I was wondering if Twitch was ever maybe gonna have student pricing anytime in the future. I feel like it might entice viewers who are currently in college to subscribe to Twitch Turbo!

Change the randomizer of gift paid subscriptions Give randomly donated subscriptions to the top 50%+ active users of the channel or give donated subscriptions to the distribution of the streamer so that he can play them or give them to the most active. Because subscriptions go to people who came to the broadcast only once and were not subscribed to the channel, and people who come every day for a long time remain without subscriptions

Allow 12 month manual (re)subscriptions tl;dr - 12 month subscriptions are only offered to GIFTED subs and not manual (re)subscriptions. Please add an option to (re)subscribe ourselves for up to 12 months.
Currently, Twitch offers the following subscription durations when subscribing to a channel: 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. However, if you attempt to gift a channel you are offered a different set of durations: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.
Is there a specific reason as to why the inconsistency exists between gifting a sub and subbing yourself? It would be great to have parity between the two methods…

Allow creators control of Anonymous Gifted Subs Allow creators the ability to prevent people from gifting subs anonymously (have it be a feature they can turn off and on). People will use anonymous gifted subs as a way to harass streamers (gifting subs to disparaging or downright harmful usernames). These usernames shouldn't be allowed on twitch as they contain violent language and hate speech to begin with.

Rates should be based on where the streamer resides, not the viewer. Rates should be based on where the streamer resides, not the viewer.
Why should I gift any subs that cost me 6 dollars a piece, when someone can spend 2 dollars per gifted sub and overtake my position on the leaderboard at a gross discount.
To subscribe to an American streamer, it should COST 6 bucks no matter where a viewer resides.
Or get rid of the leaderboard, because you're not helping Americans who have a higher cost of living when Americans are being billed more to subscribe to anyone.
I reached out to support and they sent me a…

Enable custom message for Gifted Subs Re subscribing, cheering with bits, hype chats, donations. What do they all have in common? You can attach a message with them. Either it be wanting to express love for the streamer, announce something or just throw in a meme. With how much of the economy gifted subs has become for large parts of Twitch, I think its in due time it gets the recognition it deserves.
Let people attach a message in chat with their gift, the same way you do as when you resub. This also allows for it to be read by TTS (Text To Speech) so…

Unlock Turbo with Gift Subs Turbo should also be unlocked through gifting subs and/or bits. This would incentivize people to gift to their favorite streamers, and reward members of the community that are generally more active in chats and streams.
As soon as someone gifts 10 subs or 5000 bits, they should get turbo unlocked for 30 days. You can play with the numbers a bit, but that's obviously more revenue than a turbo subscription.

Make a 4th tier in subs I think if there were 4 tiers of subs. There would be a more even gap between $9.99 tier and $24.99 maybe try like $14.99. I think people would be more like to sub if they wanted to sub for more than 9.99 but not 24.99 somewhere in the middle.

subscribe for time since followed Subscribe for the amount of time that you have been a follower, e.g. say you have been following someone for 62 months but couldn't afford to subscribe until recently, give us the option to subscribe for the past 62 months, get the sub-badge, and pay the streamer for the past 62 months that you have been a continuous follower. not sure how it would work if you had gift subs/twitch prime randomly throughout the time you followed them, maybe just ignore it and and make it a running total for the entire time.
