This change is probably related to the previous revenue issues talked about with subscriptions, but it seems to me that removing cheers will not only force a ton of streamers to redesign all of their bit alerts, but they'll also be at the mercy of other sites like Streamlabs to add alert customizing for this new form of donating.
I'm hoping Twitch also considers the amount of work needed to implement a new system both in-house and on the user end as a factor for the monetizing reworks that they're doing.
