I don’t understand why decisions continue to get made knowing the entire twitch community wouldn’t agree to it. Please do not remove our anonymous button!

Don't see how removing anonymous cheering improves the twitch experience at all

I don't understand this decision in the slightest, all it will do is either reduce monetary support for streamers (and twitch) or take it off site where it can be done anonymously. Neither are a good outcome for twitch. This decision should be reversed immediately.

I am shocked that Twitch would do this. Being an Anonymous Gift hasn't been an issue. I just don't understand this change. I feel that it helps protect the ones who gift subs and bits.

I don’t understand why they’d take away the anonymous option! Some people are more comfortable with that, regardless how big or small the amount may be

Anonymous cheers should not be removed, allow people to keep their privacy if they wish

Don’t remove it, if anything just add a toggle! Some people don’t want the attention or just want to stay anonymous!

do not remove this

Sometimes we like to be lurking and support streamers without drawing attention to ourselves. Please keep Anonymous Cheering.

Please do not remove the ability to cheer Anonymously.

WE NEED THIS. My biggest supporters do it in secret because people have chased them down and emotionally manipulated them. Others do it for the community and want to stay private, they genuinely want to help growth and support and don’t want to be named. If you take this away, they just won’t support at all. This will cost you money, Twitch, and is as creators.

No compelling reason to remove this functionality. You keep removing features in the service of nothing while setting the ads dial to 11. It's like y'all forgot what happened with Digg, and why Reddit ate their lunch. This only serves to penalize large donors and thereby reduce your own profits as a company. If I can donate to my local galleries, public spaces or universities anonymously IRL, what's the hang up here?

My community has an inside joke about cheering anonymously and we feel like we all know the one person who does it, but since it’s anonymous… can always be someone else. It’s always funny wondering! Seriously though, some people like to support in the shadows, and this tool only helps people do that. It’s wholesome and I always love seeing the little cheermote that comes with it! Such a shame because bits are 100% the way to go for supporting a streamer and it seems like Twitch doesn’t realize that when they should.

There are tons of people who have supported my stream anonymously to avoid harassment or people trying to use them. They want to just be able to enjoy the stream, support, and then talk without anyone ever realizing it was them.

You will be harming both your creators revenue and your own (as you get premiums on bits, or half on gifted subs) for most streamers. If anon wasn't an option it would disrupt SO MANY PEOPLE!

Have option for streamer to toggle off/on anonymous bits

Have option for streamer to toggle off/on anonymous gift subs
Sometimes people gift subs to other accounts display account names to bully or TOS account names that haven't been removed yet.

This is bad news. You are stripping streamers of ways to make income by taking this away. You are also moving people off of the platform to donate in lieu of Anon bits. I have several community members who have specifically asked that I do not post their names with donation totals as it can make them a target. FIX PLEASE.

Since I am in your emails now I wanted to remind you of your cats extended warranty

There is always a reason for ananymous gifting... if you want to make a toggle sure, but don't remove it

Absolutely dumb to remove the annon feature. Some people appreciate being able to support but want to do it in a private matter. Let them...

Twitch really should make different changes instead of this
