Have to agree on this one here. I understand this feature isn't going to be removed but it feels a bit of a mishap to have launched without this available in the API.
Anything with a monetary value associated to it needs to have API integration at launch (or at least most if not all things do).

I really believe you (twitch) are trying to build good things for your users but I feel like forced use is the worst direction to go when it comes to things like this.
Those two things are kind of putting your streamers in a tough spot that they should have a bit more control over (
