Currently, Follower Emotes can only be used in the channel they're for, while the user is followed to the channel. This means as a broadcaster, I have to decide between which emotes can't be used anywhere else, and which I can provide to followers to use in my channel without a subscription.

Ideally, it would be nice if subscribers to a channel would be able to use Follower Emotes anywhere on Twitch, as they currently use Subscriber Emotes. This would give an added benefit to subscribers, with additional emotes in other channels, while still allowing followers to use the selected Follower Emotes within your own channel, and no painful decision.

Thank you for your time!

The LUL emote is currently a picture of TotalBiscuit, who rose to fame as part of the harassment campaign against both cis and trans women known as GamerGate. TB has, among other things, told a trans woman to go die of cancer. While reality has a nice sense of irony and TB himself died of cancer back in 2018, his sexist legacy lives on in the form of Twitch putting him on the front page of the emotes list for everyone to see, including people like myself who have been on the receiving end of his cult following who literally worked with open Nazis and TERFs to harass me off various social media platforms.

There's no reason to subject trans people to such an iconic sexist transphobe on a regular basis. Twitch changed the pogchamp emoji after finding out the guy was a fascist, so why can't they do the same for LUL? Why do women across the platform have to put up with this?

I love the idea of follower emotes! I think it's great way to thank people for supporting the channel and dropping a follow! Personally though I think it would be great if they could be used in all twitch channels though instead of just my own twitch chat. I have raid emotes/heart emotes which I use when raiding and it would be nice if all my followers could have access to these emotes and use these during a raid so they can all use them instead of it feeling as more of a sub only emote. Aside from that great feature, thanks again for implementing it!

Currently, Follower emotes are only unlocked by 60 unique days of streaming within a 2-year period within the same Affiliation period. Using myself as an example, following the inaction on hate raids last year, I unaffiliated for a month or two as it was the only way I felt like I could get Support’s attention to the issue. Several streamers I know did the same in that period of time. I’ve since reaffiliated to give my regulars as many perks as I can for being in chat and subbing, which brought this Follower emote issue to my attention.

Regardless of having streamed well over 60 unique days in my first year of streaming, that apparently doesn’t count toward unlocking Follower emotes because despite the work I put in, the analytics that show that work on my account, and a plea to Support this morning, Twitch doesn’t look at your total streaming career if there’s a break in affiliation. That said, there’s clear evidence of my past streams but because I only reaffiliated at the end of last October, only stream days from the new affiliation period “count.”

The unique 60-day requirement for two years is reasonable and attainable, but having a break in affiliation (especially due to being hate-raided) shouldn’t affect that unlocking process. I still streamed all those days and a few offboarding and onboarding emails between myself and Support during that break shouldn’t invalidate that.

Please grant Partners' Lifetime Tier 3 bots access to our channel's bittie emotes, just as we (the streamer) have access to them all?

For those who don't know, Partners can allocate 3 x Lifetime Tier 3 subscriptions to bot accounts. These are useful for bots using all sub emotes for command responses, timer messages, but what about bit emotes?

Imagine this... your lifetime tier 3 bot is already responding to bitties, saying 'Thank you for cheering 100 bitties, with a total of 900 on my channel'

BUT you now have a timer message, like this, that goes off now and then from your bot (Symbols used as emote examples):

'Earn exclusive badges and these emotes through total accumulated bitties on my channel! ♥ 1000 ♠ 5000 ♦ 10000 ♣ 25000'

You could even make a command such as !bitemotes to spit this out when you want to remind a viewer of what emote they could get access to.

If you're clever with scripting or whatever, then maybe you could even have a bot response that says

'Thank you for cheering 100 bitties, with a total of 900 on my channel. 100 bitties away from gaining access to ♥'

COOL HUH? Imagine how much more we could incentivise spending bits! Even just having random command responses with the bittie emotes could prompt people to ask how they could get access to them. If this helps encourage bit spending, then win win for the streamer and Twitch?

Sorry if this has been posted before. I'm new here. ^_^

Please unban the Copesen emote. It's an oxygen tank labelled "copium" which is an imaginary drug, making fun of forsen. Forsen likes to "cope" when he makes mistakes in the minecraft game by saying funny things like "unluckly", or "it's the game's fault". Copium is metaphor, a phyical representation of Forsen's own unwillingness to accept his mistakes. In other words, it's a self-deprecating joke.

It's probably the most popular emote in his chat these days, it's really quite funny. I think it's a bit silly to remove it due to "drugs/drug paraphernalia", because 1) it's not a real drug, it's imaginary, and 2) it's not paraphernalia, it's an oxygen tank labelled "copium".

Please bring it back!

Thank you for your consideration.
