  1. Enable bits to be used to purchase subscriptions for channels

    Enable bits to be used to purchase subscriptions for channels.

    Give discount on channel subscription cost, based on bits purchased or bits in stock.

    Would save twitch money on payment/card processing fees per subscription as money already with twitch.

    Would encourage more people to sub to channels to get good discount worth the % fees paid to get bits.

    Subscribing to XX channels based on % would give cover any % payed to get the bits, this would encourage use of bits, and give discounts to those that supported more channels with subscriptions, and more usage of bits.

    Would save money for Twitch, less payment processing fees and save money for the viewer if they subscribe to multi channels, also only pay one local tax per transaction for bits, usually you would have to pay that tax on each subscription if from certain areas.

  2. Fix the Ads for Bits

    I love the idea for supporting streamers with bits but frankly I don't have the money to spend on bits, so that's why I rely on the free bits from ads, but one time after watching an ad it says "Try again later" under the Watch Ad button. At first I thought "Ok. I'll just watch more tomorrow" but it still said "Try again later" and it has been like that for months so I gave up checking at this point. If you could fix this or at least ease on the time you need to wait between ads. Maybe like one or two ads a week and these ads can stack, (for example if I don't watch my two ads for one week I can watch 4 ads next week and if I don't watch those 4 ads, next week I can watch 6 ads, and so on.)
    Of course the "two ads per week" is just yet another suggestion, you can tailor it to however you feel fit. I just at least want a way of knowing "Hey! I watched all my ads. I can wait until _______ to watch another one." instead of relying on what feels like random luck to watch another ad.

  3. Add Paypal option to buying bits for the ones without a creditcard

    I personally don't have a creditcard and i know more people don't, so maybe add an option to buy bits with Paypal?

  4. Acquire Bits from purchases from Amazon

    This would be similar to a Cash Back option through Amazon, where people can receive bits from purchases directly through Amazon. Would be a great way to get some extra bits to give to the streamers they love all while supporting Amazon.

  5. Free bits randomly for viewers

    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.

  6. Unlock a special Cheermote on a streamer's birthday that gives extra bits as a gift (Birthday Bits)

    A Cheermote that is only unlocked on a streamer's birthday that gives extra bits on top of a cheer (10-25% more). It would incentivize people to purchase more bits for a streamer's birthday and give the streamer a nice birthday gift!

  9. Do away with Ads for bits but let viewers earn bits by watching streams

    Ads for bits at this point is limited and most are being squatted by bots so instead, give bits to viewers watching streams, letting people give extra support to their favorite streamers that would otherwise be unable to.

    There would be basic guidelines in place like
    1. In order to earn bit from watching streams your account must be atleast 3 months old, verified their email and have 2 factor authentication enabled.


    1. You get something along the lines of maybe 25 to 100 bits every hour and only live streams count.


    2. For a stream to qualify for this feature they must be an affiliate/partner with maybe 5 to 10 viewer count or have had atleast 10 sub points and their account must be atleast 6 months old with verified email and 2 factor authentication enabled.

  10. Ads for bits

    Revamp and bring this back.

    People have heavily moved to loots.com in place of this because of Adblock features and inconsistency.

    Potentially add a 10 ad daily limit, and allow it to be selected from partner channels to promote additional revenue sharing and keep people on site.

  11. tracking bits usage

    A screen that every account would have that shows bits spent in the last 30 days (or longer), this would enable everyone to see if their account has been hacked, and being used to bit farm for a channel they do not actually watch.

  12. Allow bits codes to be bought for giveaways

    With the new ability to unlock emotes with bits badges, it would be nice for streamers to give aways bits codes to their community. Streamers currently can gift subs, this would be another way that they could give back to their community.

  13. Auto Renew bits feedback

    I noted on twitter the UI for the auto bits has no restriction on time (ie refill X amount of times per month). This could be exploited on a compromised account that set up the auto buying of bits, as the bits would be spent and then twitch would automatically buy more.

    Also people do get heated in a "bit war" and I could see this leading to issues where it it draws multiple times to keep the donation war going.

    Simple changes would include: 1) a way to restrict how often bits can auto refill and 2) A confirmation box in chat to buy more bits when auto bits takes effect (ie like amazon's 1 click buy option).

  14. Recharges for twitch

    I would like to propose something to twitch, create recharges, like those of steam or blizzard, to allow even those who do not have credit cards and do not want to spend more on mobile phones, to do sub, donation and more, for example from 5, 15, etc. euros, and I use them to donate, submerge etc. and I’m going to buy them from the game stop.
