    there's a lot to cover but i'll try to make this brief.

    there's far too much built on bits to simply kill them off. what would happen to the unspent bits people still have? bit badges unlocked by users? custom bit badges streamers added? bit emotes? will they be sent to tier 1? do the ones people have already unlocked just stay and forever be unattainable to everyone else? do they get wiped altogether? based on this alone it seems very challenging to make this work without making everybody angry.

    these super cheers cost more than bits. one of the big appeals, at least to me, for bits is that the amount you see appear is what the streamer gets. the viewer is the one who pays extra, but they know what what they cheer 100% gets to the streamer. super cheers are much more ambiguous if you don't look for an answer (which I believe gives around 70% of what you see in chat to the streamer). i do not think this is a good decision for any streamer or viewer. no one on the platform wants this. bits don't need fixing. they work and are versatile, allowing you to cheer whatever amount you want and directly supporting the streamer, with no ambiguity regarding what cut the streamer receives. others said this point much better than me, but this needs more vocal support.
