A feature to "turn off subscriptions" for streamers who are affiliate but can't stream enough to warrant a subscription
I hit affiliate and was taking off, but then life happened and now I can't stream as much (many friends in the same boat). We want to be able to stream when we can, without the added pressure of people subbing or gifting subs. When people pay to see our content for a whole month, and we don't know when we're streaming again next, it makes us feel obligated to stream more.
Receiving bits, having channel points, and having emotes is still something that would be nice to keep, but at least letting us turn off subs as we please would be great. Another use case is during charity events - I would rather people donate to the charity than subscribe to my channel.

Yes please! Also an option to disable bits too. I'd like to disable all income.
I don't want a second job (mostly because taxes are really annoying to deal with
over here, but also because I can't stream a lot anyway and it doesn't seem fair to allow people to sub for my 9 streams per year).I just want to stream for fun, and have emotes and channel points. "Sub" emotes could just go to anyone who is following instead of subbing.
Or, and I know this would be kinda next level, let me designate a couple streamers (like autohosts), and all my subs and bits go directly to one of them!
Edit: And please, twitch, don't make me enter all this payment /tax related information, because I don't want to make use of it at all.
