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 of supporting a streamer.

I second this, as I found it odd the option was available for "Gift Subs" only. It's definitely a quality of life improvement that should be available for manual subscription as well especially if discounts are involved.
Unless the intention was to make another account just to gift myself 12 months.. in which case it's pretty silly at that point.
