Option to Disable/Toggle Gift Subs in your channel
In the Dashboard, allow us to enable and disable Sub Gifting or Multi-Sub Gift Bombs in our channel.
This has many uses, and I'd love to hear what others would use this for as well (more feedback the better).
• Moves support focus towards Bits/Cheering instead of Gifted Subs (especially with Hype Chat functions moving to Bits/Cheering)
• Prevents people missing out on being able to sub themselves because they got a gift in a gift sub bomb
• Disincentives people from 'never subscribing' because they "always get gifted anyways"
• Could be used by those pushing for Partner Plus, to see if it's even viable
• Encourages some people to subscribe for the first time, or convert from their gifted/Prime
• Bonuses for Subathons; allows streamers to have more unique perks for Subathons
• Prevents some of the 'localized pricing' gift sub bombs from negatively impacting streamer income (users changing location to pay less for gift subs)
• Streamer can disable during an announcement or important/emotional life event discussion (just like disabling raids)
If you have 3 generous people, gifting subs to your regulars or just doing gift sub bombs on occasion, there is little incentive for your regulars to subscribe themselves.
Your 3 generous people can then end up feeling like they're being taken advantage of. Could also be unintentionally hurting your prospects or thoughts of joining Partner Plus Program.
