Hey all! Thanks for this thread. We recently deprecated anonymous Cheering after we discovered it was being abused. While we understand some viewers prefer not being recognized for Cheering, we made this change to ensure a safer experience for those who were negatively impacted.
We’ve also heard your concerns on what this means for the future of Bits. This deprecation is not related to any plans to limit Cheering with Bits on Twitch, and is solely focused on providing a safer experience for our community.

This should be a toggle that streamers can decide for themselves to turn on or off. While it's understandable that some users do not feel comfortable with anonymous bit donations, there's plenty of people (including myself) with audience members who vastly preferred the anonymous support option, and they're all good faith users. Twitch can still keep track of anonymous donations on their end without us ever knowing who it was, but removing it outright is not the best answer for protecting people.

All of this has seriously made me reconsider my time on Twitch thanks to Twitch's scummy and shady way of handling this. I do not want to give my brand away to this platform who has already called streamers of my size "dead weight" but is more than happy to steal from me since it benefits them to do so.
It would hurt to leave the ecosystem that's been built up over so many years, but it feels like Twitch is blackmailing us knowing how hard it is to figure out if we can move elsewhere and this level of disrespect does not sit well with me.
