As a part of our efforts to continually improve our products and creators and viewers build communities together, we are testing several possible updates to the Cheering experience. As a part of this effort, we are testing one of three prototype Cheering updates to a small number of hand-selected channels in order to observe how communities respond and interact with the feature. These three updates are:

• Cheer with Screenshot: viewers can add a creator-selected image to their Cheer to increase the expressiveness of their Cheer in chat.
• Cheer Message Size: viewers can choose how large their Cheer message will appear in chat based on the amount of Bits they use.
• Bits Rain: each Cheer will result in a rain of Bits gems over chat, the intensity of which is determined by the amount of Bits used.

These changes are intended to help us learn how new features like these might improve the experience of Cheering. They will be available only for a short period of time, and will not be expanded more broadly. If you encounter a channel where one of these experiences is available, please feel free to provide your feedback below.

With the implementation of Channel Points, the opportunity for chat interaction and participation has sky-rocketed. To make it even better, allow users to redeem some of the "Channel Point" rewards using bits.

Allow the streamer to create a reward with the option to toggle "Redeem with Channel Points" and "Redeem with Bits" and set the threshold for each. This would give streamers the option create rewards that can be redeemed only with bits, only with channel points, or with either.

This would be entirely community-driven. People are already donating bits to creators, so let those donations affect the stream. It is safe from abuse, because the Channel Points system already has a "Limit how many" option. Right now, there isn't any reason to donate bits besides "I wanted to" but this would allow the community to become more personally involved in every stream and put a real meaning behind the donations that are already occurring.

In "Bits Acceptable Use Policy / Now the Don’ts that constitute violations of this policy:" we can see that it is included in don*ts "graphic design services". I think this is totally wrong. Why I am thinking that? 1st you (Twitch) loosing a large amount of money because of that and there is nothing wrong with offering designer services in exchange for bits. You like it or not, bits are some kind of currency and streamers using it for all kind of things on their live streams. If you really want to push this "Now the Don’ts that constitute violations of this policy:" policy in a wide meaning you will have to ban half of a twitch streamers. In a nut shell bits only can be used to be gifted to streamer without asking anything in return from streamer and I agree with that because that mean "no return back when u make a gift in bits" ,,, but, someone gifted me some amount of bits and because I want to thank him on some way I would make some graphic design for his twitch,,, is that against Bits ToS? You see, there is nothing wrong with that. There is no exchange, there is only good will between us. Of course you can turn that around and say that this was some kind of payment. Well, maybe you dont know but everything is some kind of payment.
2nd. If you remove "graphic design services" you will get a lot of designers from other platforms which are made for that kind of services. What I am offering on my Twitch channel? Someone who need some graphic design can watch me working on that what he/she need (graphic design). This is excellent! Because he/she can make corrections till I working and whole job will take less time than if I doing it on some other site dedicated to graphic designers and selling their services. You see where I am going and why twitch is way better place to sell graphic designs than other sites on web?
In short ...
By removing "graphic design services" you will get a lot more transfers/use of bits, which is probably what you want from users to do. Designers and people who use designers services will not be scared of ban on twitch. You will get a ton of designers from other web pages who will like to offer their services on twitch because on twitch is way way easier to do graphic design stuff for wide variety of customers just because customers can interact with designer in a process of design which is base of good, quick and satisfied customer in a graphic designers world.
OK, I hope you got it on a right way.

Would be nice if there was a setting akin to the setting for sub gifting to no longer show up on the leaderboard. Would probably not be necessary to take away the cheer badges (since you can just choose what badge you want to use).

I know a lot of streamers prefer knowing where love and support came from so they have a slight dislike towards anonymous bits/gifts. But I personally prefer not showing up on the leaderboards when it comes to cheering bits/gifting subs, so I love the setting where you can hide from them for subs, would just love a similar setting for bits as well.

Free bits randomly depending on the daily stream time in the last 30 days.

-Range 1: Minimum 2 hours of stream per day, you could get up to 10 to 100 random bits for viewers.

-Range 2: Minimum 4 hours of stream per day, you could get up to 50 to 500 random bits for viewers.

-Range 3: Minimum 6 hours of stream per day, you could get up to 100 to 1000 random bits for viewers.

(Bit amounts may vary, I just put those amounts as an example)

Only one person who is writing in the chat will receive random bits, if this person does not send the bits to the sending streamer in a period of 1 hour, these bits will disappear, this will completely avoid the botting bugs, it will motivate the smaller streamers to stremear more hours and will certainly make the platform grow much more.

This system is much better than getting bits watching ads, because it lends a lot to mass farming, bots, etc.

I think that the bits of Twitch's own currency should remain and that the revenue should only be taken by Twitch, so that the streamers can keep the subscriptions as a source of income for themselves. Since taxes in Germany or England are very high, it is difficult to be able to get anything from them. At least for small streamers who have an affiliate but don't earn more than $ 1000 to say they live off it. The Twitch fixes on a source of income and says that Twitch gets and the rest of the little streamers. And that the US taxes should only be calculated when a really high income can be achieved. So that it can be read from a bar

I would love to see a feature where viewers can Battle with Bits! basically it could be a bit brawl where multiple people go in and more than 1 get the emote or 1v1 bit battle. Basically battling with 1 bit and whoever stops or does not respond the other person received the Channel Specific Emote or Twitch Specific Emote.

A new challenger can then challenge the Bit Battle Winner in order to then gain that Channel Specific Emote. This would increase chances of Hype Trains and be fun to see viewers battling for that emote. I believe it would be cool to see it be something similar to a large Star infront of the users name until another challenger approaches.
