Disappointing. You're about to kill my channel if this is meant to entirely replace bits.
Explanation: specific amounts is what drives some of our channel's unique features when we use extensions, meaning redemptions that are BIT AMOUNT BASED will no longer function. I created an interactive channel where my viewers can engage with hundreds of animations, relying on small amount of bits as well anywhere up to to 10,000 > this took years of work
For example: 69 bits would activate a desired redemption, 125, 126, 130, 140, and other amounts are used as the call-to-function
With this change: having a preset of $1-$5-$10-$50-$100 means that we can't have fair amounts for smaller redemptions and that viewers will be forced to pay more, I appreciate the smaller amounts, some rewards are meant to be cheap and fun so viewers can engage and spam them - even a single bit in my channel activates cool things and doesn't go unnoticed. The current presents that you're adding doesn't seem fair at all towards my community.
I ultimately went with twitch bits because they are safer than PayPal integrations, they provided me with a safety net regardless I appreciated it for what it was.
My two cents: I truly hope that you are not replacing them entirely, and if so, at least give viewers an option to Super Cheer with specific amounts (if your minimum is 1.00, add an option to select the amount of cents anywhere up to the max amount)
Years of work down the drain if this is true.
For the love of god, twitch needs to start listening to their smaller creators. Smaller channels are the new wave who are seeking uniqueness and doing every we can to shine against poor discoverability odds by using your best features, technical capabilities that youtube doesn't have yet. The fact that we are being ignored while other large creators are leaving the platform is just sad, concerning, disappointing.
The amount of negative comments in this thread should give you enough indication that this is a bad move!
