If they ever do add this it could open up Paths for people to completely blow the minds of streamers with HUGE Gifted Bombs funded through Bits.
Just imagine a guy planning on gifting 1000 subs to your community "i've seen it happen in 10 installments of 100 before".
What would be more amazing of a feeling being unable to gift the whole 1000 due to the limits or having it tell you to charge up the bits for it so you can dump the whole 1k gifted at once.
This wouldn't force the person to use bits but it would open the path for those that have the dedication to a streamer and wish to show some Incredible support to them as well.
I understand that there'd be a fear of Twitch double dipping on the transactions as they take a % for the bits purchase at this point in time as well as a % from the subscription.
For this to work properly the % on the subscription from gifted through bits should either be 1/10th of the current percentage or just 0% allowing people to enjoy a somewhat "Free Gifted Sub" while the streamer doesn't lose out on the value of the bits.
This would also inadvertently get people to continue their subscription after a gifted was obtained by them. as they'd happen a lot more.
While the consept of stories could be interesting, the way it's currently implemented is not good, it's fully taken over my pc sidebar i can't see any of my followed channels on there anymore.
I believe stories could be added as a thing creators could use but it shouldn't be modifying the entire sites flow. If a streamer isn't live and uploads to their story it could have their avatar get a colored hue around it that when a viewer clicks on their channel instead of it showing their offline screen would load into their story where the offline screen would normally be, let there be the chat and followed channels on the sides. Stories should be over ruling anything like they currently are.
