Terrible. It removes the ability to earn bit emotes, it removes all of the fun StreamLabs tie-ins, it removes the ability to earn bit badges, it removes a way to get to the top of the bits leaderboard, the way to earn more channel points once a month via bits, the way to summon hype trains... it's just poorly implemented.
And let's be honest, it's just a flimsy way to take the cost of the Payment Company's cut away from Twitch and back to the streamer. I pay $1.40 for 100 bits, the streamer gets $1, and Twitch and the payment company get the remaining $0.40. Now, I pay $1.00 and the streamer only gets... what, $0.30 tops? And the payment company takes the same amount either way, which means Twitch now gets more back. Incredibly rude to take money away from your employees like that.
