Would like to add a scenario to this for streamers who have different forms of content (like myself where I do co-working, gaming and IRL all on one channel) and I have an audience across almost all time zones. I have people in my community who are so dedicated to their streaks that they compromise sleep to be able to catch it. I don't think this is behavior we should be supporting as a platform but it's currently the only way for people to use the feature as it's build on never ever missing a stream.
The restoring of clips is not only dependent on the fact that people have to know you can watch a VOD or clip but also on the fact that people are 100% aware of your stream schedule so they can plan to catch up. This makes keeping a stream streak an incredibly time intensive chore for just one streamer, let alone for multiple.
It not only puts pressure and FOMO on the viewer but also pressure on the streamer to maintain a regular and predictable schedule. Because a pop up stream or streams that are on a different time zone due to travel can hurt your community and their streaks leaving your audience sad and disappointed.
While the stream streak feature is supposed to bring hype and reward loyal viewers it's now creating stress, restriction of streamer flexibility and people just full on giving up on the feature all together (aka the exact opposite of what the feature was designed to do).

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.

How much pushback do you need from basically every community on your platform, including partners and ambassadors before the message is heard? We. do. not. want. AI.
