stop the gift sub prompt
the prompt and timer asking people to gift more subs feels VERY ungrateful and money grabby. having a timed amount of time to gift AT LEAST 10 subs puts pressure on people that might not be able to afford to, to do so. not only that but having to keep that up or loose the badge is.... cheapening to the gratitude and graciousness of those that do choose to give them, and once again putting pressure on peoples pockets to keep that up.

100%! It feels really icky. Like, I don't necessarily mind being informed that the badge will expire or whatever, but I thoroughly dislike the "pressure" to spend and, as AstroCanuck has pointed out, it's not clear that it is purely Twitch doing this and not the streamer.
Things like this make me much *less* likely to want to gift stuff. I gift because I want to and can afford to, not because of being pressured or guilted into doing so.
At the very least make it something that the streamer is able to switch off from happening in their channel. -

I feel there's also some people that would think that message is coming from the streamer themselves, or at least controlled by the streamer. I would never want anyone to feel forced to spend their money.

I hate that this is even a thing people will gift as and when they can afford to do so and they certainly don't need the pressure of this. It could have the opposite effect on what you are trying to do and it makes people feel icky seeing this thrown at them. Please get it removed urgently!!!

Are you trying to drive people to Kick?
Because ungrateful money grabbing ******** like this is a good start.
