I (like many others) am not sure if this is simply going to be a NEW, additional feature, or if it aims to replace cheers altogether . BUT - instead of getting rid of the old cheering system or replace it with the new one entirely - how about keeping the normal cheering system and calling this new additon for what it is? 'Twitch Donations' would be a way more fitting name imo. A lot of people like to use custom Bits-amounts (like 69, 420 or numbers that are memed about in the community) so having only fixed amounts for cheering ruins the experience for some. The ability to "donate" to your favourite streamer right through the platform itself (without the extra move to tipee, streamlabs etc) is a great idea - especially for bigger amounts of money. But a lot of the people seem to be confused as how much of it actually goes to the streamers. A way of telling and helping the viewers (and creators) differenciate how much they actually pay and how much goes directly to the streamer would be nice! (for example - be CLEAR about the amount that goes to twitch BEFORE the purchase and ONLY show the actual amount the streamer gets in the chat-popup and dashboard)
