My idea to stop fraudulent bits and their impact on streamers is twofold: 1) Create a system or process that listens and supports streamers impacted by the complete removal of cheering for channels triggered by fraudulent bit donations. 2) Emphasize assessing security behind the bit donating process/software rather than punishing streamers who have received these bits from users taking advantage of this obviously weak security flaw.

Fraudulent bits are obviously a large problem for Twitch as a business; however, more importantly, these faux donations are a larger problem for streamers: the financial backbone and foundation of Twitch.

Currently, Twitch has an unclear and nonexistent communication process for streamers who have unknowingly received fraudulent bits and have, therefore, had this gifting option completely wiped from affected channels. Viewers can no longer financially support streamers who have been impacted this way. Streamers can no longer receive a substantial portion of their income. And finally, Twitch is negatively affected by this. If Twitch has no clear system on how to help these specific streamers, then they lose a large part of what makes communities so vital: camaraderie. Listen to streamers, strengthen communities, grow Twitch. That's all.
