Give Twitch Turbo Subscribers Access to Tier 2 Subscriber GIF
I had a random idea that I think would actually make a lot of sense: Twitch Turbo subscribers should be able to use Tier 2 subscriber GIFs/emotes across channels.
Turbo already gives subscribers an important benefit: no ads while watching Twitch. And honestly, that's a great benefit. But I think there’s another part of Twitch subscriptions that Turbo users miss out on — the ability to express themselves with some of the extra emotes/GIFs that come with higher subscription tiers.
A Tier 1 subscription is around $6, while Turbo is around $12. I understand that Turbo is primarily focused on the ad-free viewing experience, but if someone is willing to pay roughly twice the price of a Tier 1 subscription every month, it would be cool if Turbo also included Tier 2 GIF/emote access as an additional perk.
I'm not saying Turbo should replace subscriptions. Streamers should absolutely still receive the revenue and support that comes from Tier 2 subs. This would simply be an additional Twitch-wide benefit for Turbo subscribers, similar to how Turbo already provides a platform-wide benefit by removing ads.
It could also make Turbo feel like a more complete premium Twitch membership rather than just an ad-free option.
For example:
- Tier 1: Normal subscriber emotes
- Tier 2: Tier 2 emotes/GIFs for that channel
- Tier 3: Tier 3 emotes/GIFs for that channel
- Turbo: Ad-free viewing + access to Tier 2 GIFs/emotes across Twitch
I think this would give Turbo users another reason to choose Turbo while still keeping regular subscriptions valuable for directly supporting individual creators.
Even if Twitch doesn't want to include all Tier 2 benefits, adding Tier 2 GIF/emote access to Turbo would be a pretty reasonable middle ground.
I'd personally love to see Twitch consider it.
