I believe this change would actually work in the benefit of Twitch. As emotes are nothing more than just unlockable for people and there's no real "scarcity", it can be treated as a milestone in a game. It would incentivize people to contribute to hypetrains either with subs or bits, as if they are participating in a server wide event in a game, or just like in Helldivers, working together towards a common goal (liberating planets). As the game that implements this change has around 200.000 active current players and high player praise, i think it's safe to assume that it's a good idea to implement.
