1. 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 that people can get the recognition they deserve! (edited)

2. Send a push notification to mobile when you're gifted a subscription to a channel.

   I'm not always on the site or app when I'm gifted a subscription, so it would be nice to receive a push notification to my mobile device in addition to the site notification. That way, I can jump into the stream to thank the person who gifted me and hang out with the community. This option could be toggled on/off for those who want or don't want a mobile push notification.

3. Prioritize moderators to receive random gift subs

   Make moderators get priority for random subgifts, to thank them for their work. When you're a mod on several channels you don't necessarily have the money to subscribe everywhere.

5. 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 in communities because being gifted a subscription could take away the possibility of somebody subscribing on their own. To continue to increase revenue for both content creators and Twitch itself, it is essential to encourage gift subscriptions.

   I believe there are multiple solutions that could be discussed to allow gift subscriptions to count in the Partner Plus program while still being beneficial for all of us:
   1) Include gift subscriptions in the 350 sub requirement
   2) Add an additional requirement of 350 recurring paid subscriptions OR 500+ gift subs (or any other number deemed profitable/reliable, I just put 500 as a basepoint suggestion)
   3) Extend the requirement for gift subs, example: 350 recurring paid subscriptions over three consecutive months OR 350 consistent gift subscriptions over six consecutive months

   So many of us have stayed dedicated to Twitch and prioritized subscriptions as our main source of revenue (me included). Now more than ever, encouraging gift subscriptions is essential for success for us all.

6. Re-work Sub giving system

   Many people have already complained about how users who don't follow the channel may be selected for this, and this is a good point. As a user that sometimes consumes Twitch content, it's pretty awkward that I follow channels or I just simply watch them without following and then I suddenly receive gift subs so I have to cancel that subscription with hopes of the guy who gave it to me to get his money back. But that's NOT the unique point!

   Let's consider somebody who just starts following a channel just two minutes ago and somebody gifts a subscription to him/her, that's a risk, in my opinion. Who can say that user may or may not watch that channel for a very long time?

   Twitch should ONLY consider users for giving subscriptions that:

   • Follow The Channel
   • Has more than a certain amount of time following the channel (Being the Twitch channel owner able to modify the amount of time, being 2 weeks as a minimum)

   With this, now comes a big benefit, if a user wants to give let's say 10 subs, but the only users that accomplish this requirement are 3, then by default, Twitch won't allow him/her to purchase more than the possible amount.

   This can help a lot of users that usually give subs, as they can just simply save some bucks for themselves, also saving them from users that may waste their gift.

   Hope Twitch folks can consider this.

7. Allows streamers the ability to toggle anonymous gift subs to avoid harassment

   Anonymous gifts subs have been used to troll creators often through sexual harassment by gifting subs to inappropriate names.

   Creators should have the ability to opt-out of the ability for people to gift subs anonymously if Twitch isn't able to identify the accounts with inappropriate names during the account creation process.

   Twitch has a responsibility to protect not only viewers but creators.

9. Gifted subs preference to active viewers over non-viewers

   I was just in a channel that had a Hype Train (300+) much higher than its active viewers (around 250), except many viewers in the channel did not receive Gifted subs. Gift subs should take precedence to active viewers in the channel and not just followers who may not even be watching the channel at the time of the Gifted sub

10. Anonymous Gift subs

    Hi,

    I'm wondering why creators on the platform are not protected by harassment from anonymous people gifting subs. A streamer I mod for is constantly harassed by someone on the Internet who is exploiting a way to gift subs with what I would consider against ToS.

    With having this feature enabled you are opening all content creators open to abuse and NO ONE should feel that way. I know of some who have or are thinking of switching platform because of this.

    I would recommend that Twitch disables this feature until a better way can be found to protect them. Or have something where content creators or their mods see it in i.e. auto queue and it can be whitelisted by them.

    I look forward to your response.

11. pre purchasing gift subs

    Similar to bits it would be nice to have prepaid gift subs so i can buy x amount and give some to one channel and still have some banked, bits are just donating to the streamer which is cool but its always nice to donate subs and give to the community as a group+ the streamer and have a bulk one time buy rather that having multiple small ones if im gifting specific especially

12. Claimable Gift Subscriptions

    A system, where a user can gift subs to the community, which the community can claim, and creators and mods can create a sub pool to collect subs, that can be claimed.

    The creators can activate these under "Creator Dashboard > Affiliate / Partner > Subscriptions > Receive claimable Subscriptions"

    The user, who gifts subscriptions to the community, can click on "Claimable Subscription". A panel opens up, that looks like this: https://panels.twitch.tv/panel-484294793-image-b03745c6-8228-4d17-9016-7213abf1a58b (sorry for the poor quality, but the compression really hit).
    In there, the user can title the claimable sub, like asking a question. To the question, the user has to provide answer(s) which the viewers have to answer in order to receive the sub.
    The user also specified a time limit. After the time has run out and nobody has given the correct answer, or some subs are still available to be received, the sub(s) will be gifted to the community as usual.
    After the user has send out the claimable sub, a small information appears at the top of the chat. The information contains the title, the timer, and a text field for the viewer to write the answer.
    The fastest correct answers receive one of the available subscriptions.
    If someone gave a wrong answer, they cannot answer another time. Unless the option "Multiple submissions" is active.

    This can also be combined with the prediction system, where the creators and the mods are able to give the correct answer.
    The creators or the mods can open up a pool to collect subs. For example: "How many games until I win?" is the title of the pool. An Information appears at the top of the chat, with the title, the number of subs in the pool, and the timer. Everyone can contribute subs for the pool at any time. The creator or the mods can either choose a "text field answer" for the viewers to give a custom answer, or (like in the prediction system) possible answers.

    If there are more people that guessed correctly than available subs, either the fastest answers will receive a subscription, or random correct answers will receive a subscription. That is up to the creators or mods.
    If there are less people that guessed correctly than available subs, the rest of the subs are gifted to the community as usual.

14. Refund for gifted subs and stream lab Donos

    If your gifted sub and/or dono from stream labs does not show up on stream, you should be refunded. Why am I spending money for these things if I’d like them to show up on screen for the streamer and chat to see and it does not show?

15. A little change

    When someone gifts a sub/subs, they should first be distributed to the people who are in chat at the time the subs are being gifted, if there are more gifts than viewers, or there are no more viewers to gift subscriptions to as they have all been gifted, it then should be given to followers who may not be in chat at the moment. Its a really good idea which would help with viewer retention and appreciation.

16. Update Gifted Subs (namely Tier 2 & Tier 3)

    The new monetization features boosting and super chats both have 70/30 splits.

    Gifting a large amount of subscriptions is a standard way of supporting your favorite streamer, and right now, that would be disincentivized.

    The best way to fix this utilizes Tier 2 & Tier 3 subs. Nothing overwhelming happens when they are gifted. The viewer is hardly rewarded.

    Some ideas:
    -have a bombastic animation play when a mass amount of tier 2 or tier 3 subs is gifted.

    -add color and highlights to the text that displays what tier the subscription is.

    -sub points & a sub store are a great solution and have been suggested, but make sure the points go to the GIFTER, not the RECEIVER.

    With all the overhauls done to other monetization systems, I think the gifted subs could use an update as well!

17. Bug about "Block Receiving Gifts on Channels You don't Follow" settings

    After you activate the "Block Receiving Gifts on Channels You don't Follow" setting, if you touch any of the three settings("Hide Progressive Gifter Badge and Gifts Given Count", "Hide Subscription Status in Chat Viewer Card", "Hide Founder Badge") below it, the "Block Receiving Gifts on Channels You don't Follow" setting is therefore disabled.

    I had this experience before, so I made an ticket to the support team, but at this time, I couldn't reproduce it because I didn't know the exact cause, so I just let it go.
    However, this time, I find the cause and report it.

18. Gift subs "on behalf of" another user

    Allow a sub gifter to give subs "on behalf of" another user.

    Inevitably, during a hype train or just as part of the regular course of a stream, someone who is normally an avid gifter or just a steady, regular viewer and active chat participant, will express regret that their current financial status doesn't let them gift subs or send bits.

    It would be nice to be able for someone (anonymous or not) to gift subs "on behalf of @UserX". Just another way of sharing some of the love around. I think several of the streamers I follow and sub to would welcome such a thing, and I know members of their chats would!

19. Subs are a good way to create involvement in channels

    However, I would like the option to not accept gift subs. There are lots of channels that I follow, but don't watch. Gift subs would be better suited to people who want to participate in channels.

20. Gifted subs only for people ho have watched the channel

    Gifted subs are a great idea to in crease engagement in a particular community. However I do not for the life of me understand why a gifted sub can be give to someone who has never seen the channel.

    Please implement a control that forced gifted subs to be given to people who have spent a "significant" amount of time in the channel.

    For instance, I was recently gifted a sub to a channel I know nothing about, and have no interest in watching based on the content being aired. This to me is a waste of the gifter's time and money, and does not serve to increase a channel's viewership; I am NOT interested in that creator's content.

    A "significant" amount of time can be something like..maybe an average of 1 hour per month, maybe more. The idea is to reward people who will find the content engaging and help them grow the channel.

    As things are right now, the person who gifted me the sub to a channel I will never watch has effectively wasted hard earned cash, and has failed to grow the engagement of the channel. This, on all sides, seems so wrong to me.

    Yes, I know I can disable gifted subs for channels that I do not follow, but I feel that is far too broad a brush. A change to something more along the lines of a "merit" based gifted sub would be far more effective at growing a channel and increasing viewership. Maybe I've watched a channel a handful of times and just haven't found THE reason to follow it. But a gifted sub in that respect might push me over the edge and allow me to interact more positively than simply disabling the gifted sub and effectively losing the gifter money, as the intended effect failed.
