there should be a sub limit per month, here in germany if you earn under 450€ a month you wont have to pay taxes, it is a so called "mini-job" but if u earn more than 450€ u ll have to start paying taxes, which would make this little amount of money way less and it will initialize lot more paperwork.
Having a sub limit would stop additional subs from coming in so we ll have a better plan about income and it will be an easier time with the finance office.
of course this should be an optional thing, but for ppl who just start out it ll be a better protection against tax violation.

It's hard for viewers to see how many subscribers a channel currently has. In my opinion, this number should be visible to everyone as well as the number of followers and current viewers. Some of the streamers display numbers (but for the most part they don't). Sometimes new subscribers are counted per stream, sometimes the current month is mentioned and a number and a target value, but it is not clear whether these are absolute values.

In one channel, for example, a different (higher) value was mentioned in the chat than the one displayed in the video window. All in all, very confusing and not very transparent. Partly the !subs command can be used in chat, partly not.

I think it would be an important decision-making aid for viewers if they could see the actual number of subscribers. Since most viewers will not be able or willing to support all the channels they follow also financially.

Currently the value a Viewer gets from a subscription, is the attention from the streamer and the access to more emotes and to be able to chat in sub mode. I believe that Viewers who have been subscribed for a certain amount of time should be rewarded for their patronage by introducing some branded "swag" (swag refers to merchandise ) they receive to their doorstep. Sending out a letter that contains some stickers with the channels name on it and some twitch stickers will incentivise Viewers to subscribe for a long amount of time ! Creating revisions of these stickers will then further more incentivise a Viewer to stay subscribed. Then for the really long term subscribers you could up the anti so to speak with regards to the rewards.

This is my idea, curious to see any feedback. Very much want to get involved with creating value for my Viewers.

The idea is to allow Streamers to award a single tier 1 Subscription per month for Free with no monetary cost or pay out for the streamer.

This would allow followers to make use of the chat emotes, stop pre-roll adds and even allow them to use sub only chat for one month.

After the month is up, the recipient may be more inclined to pay out for a sub in order to keep the Emotes and to stop Adds.

Streamers could use these Free subs as Prizes after hitting a new goal or rewards to returning viewers or just plain randomly gifting someone the chance to be a sub for free.

I think this would increase interest in subbing in the future and help to promote smaller streamers.

A lot of streamers that I enjoy watching play together very regularly. Although I can't subscribe to all of them, it would be great if there were an opportunity to subscribe to a group of streamers, with some sort of bulk discount. There are 3 streamers I really enjoy watching, but I only subscribe to one of them due to the price. However, if I could subscribe to all 3 at once for a discount, I would definitely be willing to take that option. Would likely help increase streamer and Twitch revenue as well.

Considering that Twitch already has logic to tell which streamers people "also viewed", this could potentially leverage that logic (or you could allow streamers to create their owns bundles/collaborations).

I suggest there be created a "Global" Loyalty points system in addition to channel-specific points; each Twitch user would have a global "Twitch loyalty points" point balance.

Subscribing to a channel, Gifting to a channel, or spending a certain amount of time watching the in-video ads inserted by Twitch would be actions that each reward the viewer with a certain number of Twitch points Per Subscription, or Gift Sub, etc.

Finally, if the user has gifted enough subs, or subscribed to a large enough number of channels: the global Twitch loyalty points should be redeemable for various rewards - which are global in nature and not channel-specific, for example:

"unlock an exclusive emote", "1 free sub for 24 hours", "global ad-free viewing for X hours", etc
