Please move the powerups away from the Channel points UI!
So I do think this new bits thing has some promise, I totally support it, but I think a lot of people are going to complain and be upset with the positioning in the user interface. It makes people who cant afford bits feel bad and negative about constantly seeing a Zero next to the bit icon under the chat.
My idea: We already have the cheer icon next to chat, so please, give us an option to remove the bits counter that shows 100% of the time next to channel points, OR keep the bit counter inside of the cheer menu! It makes Twitch feel more user friendly, and makes the ui feel more inclusive to people who just can't or don't buy bits.

It almost qualifies as a dark pattern

can confirm. i don't even have a payment method linked to my twitch account because i can't afford to spend the money, and this feels like twitch is trying to manipulate me into changing that. plus, the bits counter keeps getting in the way of seeing my channel point total at a glance, which is an additional source of irritation.
