This is absolutely horrible for everyone except twitch's accountants. Reducing the flexibility for viewers, and overall giving streamers less, while also being very opaque about how much is being given.
If this is implemented sitewide, I will begin donating exclusively off platform to streamers who I wish to support. I will not give twitch $1 in exchange for paying a streamer 38¢.
