Frankly I can't believe that Twitch forced this on people instead of making it an opt in experience.
And it could've easily been tested alongside bits without BREAKING countless channels and ruining our user experiences.And no idea how LONG this will run? This is punishing to streamers still working to build an audience and the only thing this has accomplished so far is make me wish there were better platforms to use until this is over.

This program is actually garbage.
Not only did this get added to my channel without my consent or approval it strips my community of their freedom to donate what they can afford, OR to participate in hype trains... AND you take an additional take of my revenue ON TOP of charging the viewer to purchase the bits?I'm sure your accounting department thought this was a GREAT idea. But I want this gone from my channel.
This experiment ran in violation of our affiliate contracts and Support seems unable to point out ANY section where we forfeit our rights to be (IN YOUR OWN WORDS) "Experimented upon" without our permission.
In fact what the contract we signed actually says is this:
From time to time, we may run general special programs that may provide you with the opportunity to earn additional or alternative fees (“Special Program Fees”). For the avoidance of doubt (and notwithstanding any time period described in this section), we reserve the right to discontinue or modify all or part of any special program at any time. Your participation in any special program will be subject to your agreement to any terms, rules or policies that we may require you to agree to in order to participate in such special program. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and the terms, rules, or policies for any special program, the latter terms, rules or policies will take precedence with respect to your participation in such special program. Payouts related to any prizes from Twitch operated, or owned tournaments, are governed by the rules associated with that particular tournament; those are not considered Special Programs.
So I'm curious as to why Twitch has decided to abuse some of its most struggling and hard working creators in violation of the very contract they had us sign with NO method of remediation?
What is the point of Twitchs support if their responses are "we cant help you and we're closing the ticket"?
At what point does Twitch realize what a nightmare this is going to be when content creators start going to the media?
