How can we improve emotes on Twitch?

Badges/Emotes: Channel Badges

Categories

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 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.

    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.

  • Diachron commented  ·   ·  Report

    Any response from Twitch on this?
  • LouiieV2 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Goes to show how Twitch operates their business... especially hat they did to Ludwig
  • GoremExtraLife commented  ·   ·  Report

    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 =(

    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 !!!!
  • Pichoch83 commented  ·   ·  Report

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

    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.

    I don't like how Twitch removes this either, so I set my chat to show subs and bits over the lifetime, instead of weekly or monthly. I think gifters and cheerers deserve it.
  • aeris2001x2 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Glad I found this before I gifted more then one sub, I feel its a bit disrespectful of Twitch to do this. I will stick with cheering to support my fav streamers. Have Twitch even bothered to reply.
