This is possibly the dumbest, most obvious money grab by Twitch to date. The user is being bamboozled, and the creators are being ripped off (if donations come in at all) compared to the bits model. Many creators have alert interactions for bits which now don't trigger, and most users don't want to put additional micro transactions on to their credit cards when a lump sum of bits could be purchased and spread around. You've really missed the mark on this one. I know you have shareholders to please, but profits can't be your ONLY goal or else you're going to lose the people you DO have. You're the biggest platform, but far from the only one.
