As a viewer, I think this is a horrible idea, and does not make cheering easier. As it is now, I can make a single purchase of bits and use it to support multiple creators in any amount that I want. Forcing me to make a separate purchase for every cheer is very inconvenient, and having fixed monetary cheer amounts unnecessarily limits my freedom in supporting creators.
Furthermore, this system obfuscates how much money streamers actually get. I know that 1 bit = 0.01USD, but how much goes to the streamer if I give a $1 cheer? It's not clear up-front, and from reading into your plans, I see that it's less than they would get under the current system. I suspect that is the real motivation here, but if I want to support the creators I love there is no reason for me to use Twitch instead of direct payments.
If this is implemented sitewide I will never cheer through Twitch again.
