This "experiment" has not gone well for my channel. Revenue is significantly down, viewers have told me they do not like it, and it made all my fun cheer alerts useless. Even though the "help" page says that you can integrate alerts for the direct cheers, I have not found a way to do it. There were no instructions from Twitch help at all. Many people like to purchase a chunk of bits and ration them out over time and over different streamers. The creators apparently have to pay for the transaction on our end too which is unlike bits. 100 bits meant $1 to the streamer, but now a $1 direct cheer is something like 70 cents? Not a fan that bits were disabled. Why not allow both methods during this experiment?
Also, I was only notified one time and that email went to my junk folder so I had no way to opt out in time. I feel that we should be allowed to opt out if we don't like how the experiment is going.
