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.

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.

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.

this is what happened, there was a channel that i liked and did got a subscription for 6 months(for the promotional price), so this streamer did not got online for a month, and i did forgot about the subscription, this week i got a message in my cred card app about a charge that i did not remembered. some research and was a 6 month subscription.
so my suggestion is i if there an option in the subscription manager page that would send an email, 5, 3 or 1 day before my subscription automatically redeemed.
for short an option to receive an email if one subscription is close to renew itself in the subscription manager page.

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 get very tired of the Apple TV app telling me that my free preview has ended for channels I’ve paid to sub.
Happens most times when we go into the app, then into the channel, after having watched the channel the previous night.
If you exit the stream, open another one, and then go back, the error is gone.
At least change the wording on the error... my goodness, I’ve subbed them for 11 months. It’s not my free anything, lol, at that point.
It’d be really cool if it said, hey the session has expired please refresh, because the first time it happened I was mad and confused until I figured out how to “refresh it.”
I’m sure this is an odd situation because we watch one specific stream pretty much every night. It doesn’t happen when switching streams (watching different ones I guess?), and does not happen on the iOS App or Desktop as far as I know. Only on the Apple TV. It’s the 4th gen but without the 4K. Happens on multiple Apple TVs (same model both WiFi) but on the same account of course.
I really don’t care that the error occurs it’s easy to fix. Please please change the wording so it says how to fix it.
Again you gotta open a different stream (or at least it’s live preview) and then go back.
Thanks
