I like to remain anonymous at times. Don't force me not to be.

Please its already so hard to make a living on twitch, DO NOT take away anonymous bits OR subs!!!

Let us decide if we want to turn these settings on or off. I personally want to keep anonymous cheer and tipping on.i also don't like the whole taking bits away too and making it a donation instead.

Just let streamers be able to turn this on or off if they wish. Please don’t get rid of this. People have valid reasons for wanting to gift bits anonymously and they absolutely should be able to do so

Instead of just having account verification so you know who everyone on the platform is, you're taking away everything for the sake of a few trolls. You are letting them win. Require everyone verify their account, allow anonymous services to be used, and only identify the individual when you have to ban/suspend them for a terms breach. Stop punishing the majority that are doing nothing wrong.

There should be an option for the streamer if they want to have cheer anonymously as an toggle option instead of just getting rid of it completely

What, if any, would be the downside to anonymous donos of any kind? I don't get why they would remove the option.

please dont remove the anonymous cheer just make it a toggle option if anything not everyone wants their name to be said on stream for cheering or anything like that

Allow content creators to choose if they want to allow anon cheering. Most viewers want the option and removing it globally to protect a handful of content creators is avoiding the much larger issue.

As a streamer myself I always cheer anonymously I don't want other streamers thinking I'm trying to buy their attention. And I'm sure others feel this way to. We need this option to stay

Please bring it back

People don’t always feel comfortable cheering with their name being shown! Leave this as an option

Please don’t remove anonymous. I moved to this option to avoid getting scammed. Someone got me for over 2k because I thought I was helping them. I will stop purchasing bits if this comes in.

As a streamer myself, sometimes I prefer to cheer anonymously because I don't want new streamers I just met to think I'm donating to them in order to get sth back or make an impression. I would rather make my impression through chat and organically getting to know others. Please don't take this function away.

NEVER get rid of the ability to do anonymous acts!

People should have the ability to donate sums of cash or gift subs without being pressured by people in chat to gift them a sub or donate bits to them!

They've been slowly getting rid of Bits-related features for months. Presumably because they want to get rid of Bits entirely. But haven't said anything about it because they hate communicating what they're planning. Assuming they want to replace it with one of the 2 technically separate but ridiculously similar experiments going on right now... Both lower-value knockoffs of the already more boring & less useful YouTube SuperChat feature.

But since neither of them seem to allow Anonymous payments either, the main point of this original request still stands.

Make this a toggle option. Make it the Streamers decision to Enable or Disable this.

Why would you even consider this Twitch? Yet again another "Who Asked For This?" moment.

I personally would love to keep the anonymous cheering because I don't want people to know that I cheered and I don't want people to direct message me about it or say my name in their stream about it. A lot of people are going to be extremely upset if you remove this and more than likely not be on twitch anymore.

Reducing options in a way that will have a chilling effect on revenue isn't exactly a good business model for Twitch OR the streamers. Content creators have enough challenges already, they don't need the platform reducing options.
