Honestly, I still agree with this idea quite a lot. Your badge permanently levels up, it is a permanently tracked metric - can we please let people keep their sub gifter badges?

Hello Twitch! Anyone there?

I think it's ok that when the gifted subs run out, you can't show the gifter badge in chat anymore, just like if your sub runs out, you can't show your sub badge. But at least make it so that if someone clicks on your name, they can see that you have previously gifted subs in this channel. Like with your own sub, when it runs out it will still say 'previously subbed for X months'. But with gifted subs, it's currently not possible to tell if someone has previously gifted subs in the channel after they run out.

Why is this not a thing?

I was wondering what happened to one of my gift sub badges and google brought me here. It looks like I can gift a bunch more to get the next badge but that seems ridiculous.

I gifted over 100 subs to my favorite channel, but my gift badge is gone. Gee, isn't it great I can still use my ONE BIT badge though. *insert eyeroll here*

If I gift subs I think I deserve the badge

Hey twitch do you all need help.......hello my friends. Still nothing.

Any response from Twitch on this?

agreed this needs to happen

Goes to show how Twitch operates their business... especially hat they did to Ludwig

for real 👏👏 I gifted subs in a hype train the other day, the conductor badge is there but gift badge is not? even though i returned to the stream after few days. I read that your badge stays active as long as sub is active but it doesn't stay for even few days on many channels and streams for me!? and that little white 1 bit stands staring lol

So I gifted 50 subs during the start of Subtember but now its gone? forever? unless I sub someone again? Whys that? And Twitch has done this now for years? Yet bits stay forever and are cheaper.

Seems fishy, Come on Twitch update this.

i did not know this
no more badges

All gone to twitch =(

Seriously Twitch, reply!

Found this through Googling as well. I'm surprised it's actually set up like this. My dinky bits badge is selectable through chat user options, but my high ranking gift sub badge vanished. Pretty scummy.

I lost my 100 gifted sub badge and it just feels like a slap to the face from twitch not only to the gifter but to the streamer as well !!!!

This is terrible, guess I might as well stop gifting subs now if I am going to lose the badge.

can we blow this up somehow so twitch sees it? its ridiculous that one penny will give you a badge that lasts forever, but a gift sub which is at minimum $4.99, will only give you a badge for a month. it's a huge slap in the face for people who choose to give not just to the streamer, but to their community as well.
