    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.

    I have stopped cheering for many channels since this feature was removed.
    This should've been a toggle per channel instead of blanket deprecation.
    Anyway, anonymous cheering did not allow attaching any message that could lead to abuse.
    In the end this just hurts content creators and ultimately Twitch itself.
