Why were bits removed from poll usage?!?

I use polls for viewer watch party. The polls are for what genre and movies will be played at the time of the watch party. I allow extra votes to be cast using bits. I choose bits because it deters trolling. I choose 10 bits per upvote but depending on the other types of polls the amount can go up or down.

I can not use channel points because some of my viewers have over 300k and could potentially spam. Voting for something that is not necessarily an mutually beneficial outcome for all viewers.

Bit voting also allows another way to support the streamer. There have been plenty requests to extend the time of polls. But I don’t think anyone has ever said remove bit voting as it is streamer choice on rather to use bits or channel points.

Please return the option to use bits for extra votes in polls exactly how it was before. There weren’t any issues with functionality or optimization of bit usage. While you’re returning polls to their glory, please extend polls to be up to 24 hours. (Like cost of voting, Streamer inputs desired time).

Thank you for your consideration.
