How can we improve emotes on Twitch?

Badges/Emotes: Channel Badges

(thinking…)

Make the sub gift badges permanent.

If you gift 100 subs and they run out, your badge disappears forever unless you gift a sub every month. But if you gift 1 bit, in 5 years you will still have that (ugly) bit badge. That sounds unfair to me. Make the sub gift badges permanent, or make it so that it will stay 1 month for every sub gifted (so for 10 gifted subs get the 10 gift subs badge and keep it for 10 months).

    I literally won't give more subs because of this. I will donate directly to the streamers Paypal account. This is proposterous and nobody cares.

    Absolutely agree! Gifted sub badges should absolutely be permanent.

    While the badge is only a small part of it, losing it pushes me that much closer to not gifting at all.

    The money spent was permanent. The badge should be as well. It is a sign of support to the streamer that I would like to be able to keep next to my name.

    Gonna stop gifting subs because of this. I was wondering why my 500+ gifted sub badge disappeared.

    Add to this that gifted subs don't count towards Partner Plus and the gifted subs often go to people who are more likely to sub, thus making it more difficult for streamers to reach Partner Plus.

    No thanks.

    Knowing this actually makes me want to gift less subs.

    I do it mainly to support the streamer and give a little back to the community but I think I'd rather donate it directly where they can keep almost 100% of it instead of giving 50% to Twitch.

    Bits in my opinion are superior to subs because you keep the badge, you can unlock some emotes and you can dose them better (and regular discounts which subs only have like on Christmas).

    I believe that actually subs should be the superior option since sub gift recipients sometimes renew the gift sub and stay in the channel as a viewer and supporter which helps growing the community directly.

    1000000% agreed Badge should stay permanent if u send a sub gifty.
  • wdejonge97 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Still waiting for this feature to arrive. Even Bits badges stay on there except gift badges.

    You created the uservoice but I don't see maintainersrespond. What's the point of this webpage if not to react to user feedback? Was it to give people a platform to share their ideas or just to give them an impression that the company listens to them?

    As to the discussion I think that at the very least people who gifted about 5 or 10+ subs should get a permanent gifter badge. It would also encourage more people to gift subs, I'd proudly bear such badge myself :)

    - Further - as you may expect, and as many others have alredy stated. This simply means, from today - I no longer give giftSUbs to any channels, My donation days aare over - as may be my Twitch ones, as I used to like to participate fully in streams. Well done Twitch, you killed my enthusiasm :(

  • d3nv1 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just discovered this little WONDROUS-AMAZON-REVENUE-GOUGING feature. As a mod & big gifter this came as a shock. On the channel I've donated more than 1300 giftsubs - my bade disappeared. Brief research over, I find this fact. Disgusting mechanism to pressure people who are already generous & prone to support streamers into feeling they MUST give more....
    The effect is heightened considering if I'd spent tens of thousands of dollars on bitties instead, I'd be denoted as such in chat. Gift givers? Well they MUST keep paying for the badges they've earned.
    So Amazon, it hurts...

    I have for the last say 4 years gifted almost $10k a year in subscriptions. This stops today because of this policy.
  • Beckah_11 commented  ·   ·  Report

    No response just shows what Twitch thinks of viewers. I've gifted 1,000s of subs - no more. I now donate directly to streamers
  • BrimHaze commented  ·   ·  Report

    3 years and still no response :/
  • redautumnfalls commented  ·   ·  Report

    On @FieryAshes queue, and i don't know how the sub badges work on its upgrades, definitely what it is, it only ranks up, there could be a universal twitch sub badge or a specific stream..

    There's quite a lot on this topic alone, it depends on the streamers what they make available and twitch on its self.
  • AgentDave7 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Been waiting years for a response to this. :(

    50% split on the 1000 gift subs I've given. Would be nice to get a small permanent "Thank You" from Twitch to show in the channel.

    Yes, I bet it's low priority but it should also be easier to implement compared to many other things?
  • [Deleted User] commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm done gifting subs to streams that aren't my favorites. This is a giant slap in the face. Twitch... grab a hold of your cheeks, use all your might, and pull your head out of your ***. Fr, this is garbage and the person who came up with the idea should be fired.
  • brado_7 commented  ·   ·  Report

    kind of pathetic not a single twitch mod has even acknowledged this post
