    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.

    @Twitch how does this prevent abuse?? your reasoning makes no sense. Bring it back already for Christ's sake. I had to delete my old account because of beggars following me everywhere on the internet since I started giving bits to my favorite streamer. I hate you so much for removing this.

    You're afraid of spam? set a mandatory delay between anonymous bits or create a hidden unique hash/ID for bit givers that allows the streamer to block a bit giver without seeing who they are. If your devs don't know how to do it then hire a **** freelancer to do their job in their stead.
