Give Streamers the option to use a certain amount of Emotes (Maybe more for Partners or something like 1 + 1/10 of your unlocked Emoteslots rounded up) to be unlockable by Channelpoints but not by Subscribing or Cheering. Every Streamer can chose the cost of the Emotes they want to have themselves.

This allowes Streamers to give something back to the Community and makes it possible to get emotes by just watching and being Active in the Stream and the Community when the people cannot support monetarily. This also still incentivises to Gain More Subs due to getting the possibility to unlock more slots.

An Example for this would be unlocking Special Raid-Emotes that Viewers get to be able to join raids fully with emotes.

So I like the idea, but just a few tweaks. I like how the challenge can just pop up and we have a couple days to complete it, but upon completion can we save the boost for the future? I got the challenge on my "friday" so I felt compelled to make sure I completed it within the time frame forcing me to stream on my day off. I did complete it but then the boost happened right away. I would love to see it for the next stream where I can prepare for it, kind of like a front page thing? Maybe make the boost last longer than 2 minutes also =) Thanks

Currently, you can only get 20 (10 on each side) top predictors.
I collect statistics for each prediction and users can check how many points they spent and their total profit. This works fine, because on the channel on which i host my bot, about 40-80 people participate in bids, and the statistics show bets with a size of 1000+, but for larger channels this bot doesnt make sense, because even huge bets will have chances not to be included in the statistics.
It would be great to have access to all the predictors, for example, you can arrange a competition to see who will earn the most from bets. Or maybe the streamer will cheer on the one who lost the most in a month.

This entire idea of Boost this stream is amazing. As a content creator I am more than happy and ecstatic at the thought of maybe having this on my own channel. Although I see this tools usefulness in aiding smaller streamers grow I feel that certain criteria should be in place before becoming eligible to have access to a boost. For example: You can't get boosts on your channel unless you are an affiliate, You can't buy boosts in anyway shape or form for yourself and you can't get boosted if you are a partner. I feel the most important is the partners not having boosts. People that are partnered on twitch are no longer small streamers. They have come to a point where they are instantly taking more seriously by twitch and by companies. This tool should be restricted to smaller streamers and not accessible to big streamers who already dominate whatever sections they stream in. Overall I am happy with this idea and excited to see what it does

Show live via a Twitch Ambassador streamer or another Twitch official channel how this works.

If the boost system in any way can be used to over take those with a smaller audience, by having a 200+ viewer channel boost it's way in front of a 45 viewer channel, then there lies an issue.

I wanna see what it does before making assumptions if it's a positive feature or not; whether I want to support the feature or not. As of now, it seems fine but I would love a live feed demonstrating how it functions, and answers to questions I'm seeing via a demo.

I wish you and the team would stop trying to push features like this. Instead of having a "boost" feature, why not work on a better way to make smaller content creators to be discovered?

Many have resulted in branching out to other social media and content creation platforms in order to funnel more viewers into twitch because of the over saturation of streams. Look at how addictive YouTube and Tik Tok are... Also look at how easy they are to just continuously browse and find new content. These are the things you should be focused on.

Honestly, Small streamers should be randomized on the "streamers you might like" section so everyone can get a little more outreach to new viewers. it should not be something that needs to be boosted.

Stop sorting your categories by number of views, randomize it. Keep your partners at the top, sure. there are only about 27,000 partners and wont overtake each gaming category.

Give clips it's own browsing page where potential viewers can browse clips by most popular, most recent, and give us the ability to add tags so that they can be targeted to a specific audience. An algorithm that will help people find clips that the individual might be interested in by targeting what they were searching.

Much more I can say, but let's just keep it at this for now.

I have noticed a trend where people tend to wait until the last second in order to dump a massive amount of points into a prediction. I understand that this is part of the risk, however I frequently get invested at a low chance of success just to have someone else drop 4~10x the entire result pool I just entered. I agree with not allowing people to withdraw or swap, but it just doesn't feel good to suddenly risk 10k or 50k for a mere 1.05x payout. I propose two solutions:

First option is to add a toggle to the prediction creation procedure that veils the total contributed points until after betting has stopped, (Post maybe the % or the highest bettor per side, but not the cumulative total, highest bettor's bet, or ratio payout)
Second option is to add a [Max Bet] button of something like 10,000. Where people can bet up to 250,000 still, however it requires hitting that button 25 times so other bettors have an opportunity to see the ratio change over time rather than all at the last second.

I will preface this suggestion that I am comparing twitches current channel point system to Streamelements since twitch feels very limiting and we could do so much more with it instead of resorting to a 3rd party to use channel points which makes it inconvenient for viewers. With that being said comments saying just use Streamelements isn't helpful, i'd love everyone's actual thoughts towards this.

Currently Twitch's channel point system feels very limiting overall especially when compared to other channel point systems aka streamelements.

Part 1: Issue with Current Twitch Channel Point Earned System

With its current setup Twitch unfortunately fully controls how many points are collected for different actions and also controls how many points different subscriber levels receive instead of giving that control to the streamer. Which lets all be honest are terrible, the fact that tier 1 which tends to be the large majority of streamer subscriptions only get 1.2x and Tier 3 which is a whopping $24.99 only gets 2x channel points while being 5x more expensive.

Other 3rd party software (streamelements for example) on the other hand gives the streamer full control of how your points can be used and allows the streamer to manually change every value whenever they'd like. Let's be real who wouldn't love the ability to increase channel point during special event streams to promote more follows, subscribers, hosts ect.

Lets Compare:
Watching Stream (10min watched): Twitch - 10 points vs Streamelements - Any
Follow Bonus: Twitch - 300 points vs Streamelements - Any
Hosting: Twitch - None vs Streamelements - Any
Subscribing: Twitch - 500 points (Only Gifting) vs Streamelements - Any
Tips/Bits: Twitch - None vs Streamelements - Any

Are we seeing a trend at this point? Overall the fact that Twitch controls how many points OUR own viewers are receiving and doesn't allow the streamer to control it manually really feels unfair and ends up forcing some of us to go to 3rd parties instead of using the integrated features.

Part 2: Issue with Current Twitch Channel Point Redemption system

This one is a bit shorter and to the point since I've seen people mention similar things but to me it feels like it needs to be included in the same issue overall.

With the current twitch redemption system it feels limiting since we currently can only create channel point redemptions for things the streamer needs to do.

When it comes to the following things:
-Gifs/images popping up on screen
-Sound effects happening
-Ability to use commands to redeem channel points
-Subscriber Only Redemptions
-Ability to use Bits to redeem instead of channel points when you don't have enough.
-Ect.

We are unfortunately forced to use other platforms like Lioran Board, Stream Elements, Triggerfyre, ect to make all these cool unique things happen. It would be so much easier to have all this built into twitch so it can all be integrated together with the channel points instead of resorting to 3rd party software.

I'm curious what else everyone else things and what else could be tied into this idea!!

Thanks for reading through this entire rant! <3<3<3
