Having to scroll past these redemption options on every channel is frustration.

Can you at least pretend you listen to the community for once and give some canned corporate response for why you decided that it's necessary to keep a payed harassment feature in the channel points tab without the ability to turn it off? At least move it to the already existing bits tab so we don't have to look at it.

I just hate the fact they're on top of my normal, fun free channel point redeems and to make it worse: it gives a strong "we're gonna make money of you, whether you want it or not" vibe. Not to mention that some people (including me) get headaches from flashing emotes on the screen, which now are impossible to turn off. This is a clear decision for shareholders not for users of the website!

I had to turn off channel points a few weeks ago and now I'm unable to enable them again. Why is this even tied to channel points to begin with? New features should not break existing ones. This launch was poorly thought out. Let me turn off the new power ups or remove them from being tied to channel points.

The flashing of these notifications is potentially harmful to streamers with photosensitive epilepsy and could result in malicious spamming of them that could lead to real harm for which YOU as a company would be liable. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen on top of being an annoyance to everyone else.

and still no way to turn this garbage off!

- Existing bots aren't detecting the bits being used.

- Ability to turn off / hide any builtin Twitch Power Ups

- Allow channel point redeems to also accept bits to redeem them. So you can have channel point cooldown to incentivize using bits to override the cooldown (or if you don't have enough channel points)

My community already doesn't cheer because they're just as broke as I am.

Additionally, having it at the top of channel points is needlessly cluttered UI/UX.

That we cannot disable this feature is beyond stupid. The idea that someone can completely disrupt MY SCREEN which should have WHAT I WANT TO APPEAR ON IT at any time is infuriating. So in the middle of an intense scene, things are completely taken over by BS emotes? I hate, hate, HATE this. Setting the prices ridiculously high is a bad work-around, since they still appear at the top of the list.

Twitch, the absolute minimum you can do for streamers is reverse the order that the sections appear in the "Manage Power-ups & Channel Points" settings in the creator dashboard. Around the same time that Power-Ups were added, Default Rewards were moved to above Custom Rewards in this menu, and Power-Ups were added above that (and Community Challenges maintained its position at the top). This means streamers need to scroll farther down if they need to manage their custom rewards, even when live on stream, which is a very common occurrence for people who put a lot of work into making unique custom rewards!!! Sometimes something breaks or you forgot you didn't set it to require text or you rethink the price, so you have to fix it on the spot, and it's very inconvenient to have to scroll all the way to the bottom of that settings page while you're live!
I can't help but feel as though Power-Ups are MEANT to distract from channel point rewards, especially custom ones, with the way they were introduced. I'd love for power-ups to be somewhere else, like the same place that cheering appears. I'd also love if that bits icon weren't where it appears, or hide it when the viewer has no bits. There are a myriad of active chatters who use twitch without ever spending any money on the platform, and I don't think it's fair to clutter their UI just to tell them they have no bits, because of course they don't. Also when they get a bonus package, they can't see how many channel points they have until they claim that package, even on desktop, and when someone gains channel points, their bits are temporarily hidden. It's just overall not an effective UI choice.
And again, backing up what so many other people are saying here - Lumping a paid feature into the same menu as a free one, especially making it look largely uniform with the free one, and especially placing it at the beginning of the menu so it's the first thing you can click on, is horrible design at best and blatantly predatory at worst. It doesn't help that watch streaks ALSO appear in this menu, and now that power-ups and the headers that label them and channel rewards as separate things exist in this space, the watch streak blocks the icon of the first row of rewards, and the names of those rewards are cut off! Watch streaks are another feature that has been heavily critiqued by the community for cluttering the channel points menu.

Overall, the channel points menu just VERY BADLY needs cleaned up in ways that neither the streamer nor the viewer have the ability to do. Channel points and custom rewards have become a fundamentally essential part of many streamers' streams and their very brand, so it sucks that they're becoming more and more inconvenient to use.

Once again Twitch adding a feature no one asked for instead of one of the dozens of features streamers have spent half a decade begging for.

Please put an option to disable it, or at least relocate it where WE want it to be on OUR stream. Put them with the cheers... just be better.

stupid feature, just remove it

This should have been optional from the beginning.

These new bit redeems are psychologically manipulative (and also placed at the top where people can accidentally misclick them. I've seen this happen twice in other streams already) and I cannot turn them off. It feels incredibly icky and gross and I'm not about manipulating my audience into giving me money just to make an image element in a chatroom 2x bigger. I've also had to use a channel point redeem slot to explain why I've set them to 10,000 bits since I can't turn them off. (redeems that cost 1 point will be sorted higher than other redeems)

Delete. Power Ups. (or at least let streamers disable them)

The fact they're shown on top of the SAME menu as the FREE channel point redeems is just offensive to viewers.

Aside from them cluttering my custom redeems I have worked VERY hard to make an integral part of my unique channel identity (they show up ABOVE my redeems! Why???), these generic redeems are disruptive (especially the gigantify one!) and I am honestly baffled I do not have the ability to toggle them at all. The suggestion to "Just make them more expensive if they're disruptive" is also gross, as I know people in some communities who will GLADLY pay 10,000 bits just to be disruptive, and the streamer now has to deal with the guilt of someone wasting all that money for a feature they didn't want. These need to be able to be toggled off ASAP.

Depending on the type of stream I'm doing or a particular segment on the stream, I may not always want the power ups enabled. I'd like a way to disable all three types of power ups individually, but just being able to disable them all with one switch would also be fine.

The problem with forcing it on everyone is that there are people on Twitch who compete in tournaments and having all these special effects appear during the tournament is very disruptive and can potentially get people disqualified depending on the rules of the tournament. Since they can't be turned off... kinda forces people to go to a different platform...

I personally like em, But I DONT like that they're forced, they should be turned on/off!
