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.

Please restore anonymous cheering.
Many viewers prefer to cheer anonymously. Anonymous cheerers are in my top 10 for overall support from cheers. I'm not happy about this change.
Streamers can already prevent abuse by:
a) disabling sound and TTS alerts
b) setting a minimum bits amount at the cheermote or message level
Anonymous cheers don't even include messages and it's just the anonymous username that's used (unlike follow-bots which often include offensive usernames with slurs).
Alternatively, Twitch can build a configuration feature into the product, allowing streamers to opt-in to disabling anonymous cheers in their channel. This would be much better than disabling it for everyone.
Please restore anonymous cheering.
