@knightenator: I turned off gifs in my twitch stream and twitch punished me. Would you turn them off? do you like them? save this video and send to a streamer friend to warn them! follow for more ❤️ #twitch #twitchaffiliate #smallstreamers #Streamer #smallstreamer
Apparently, if there are copyrighted images or gifs being used, YOUR twitch stream will be copyright struck for it. This is literally just another HORRIBLE idea from Twitch/Amazon and I'm so fucking sick of it

i feel like instead of just letting any gif go they could have let the streamer pick gifs to have available for use. kinda like discords stickers and just have it take up a set of slots like the emotes do. this is just sooo stupid and is going to be a nightmare for auto moderation imo.

I personally dislike the intergration of GIFs on most platforms tbh cause a lot of people use them to be mean and hateful while getting around filters that would normally block thst type of hate/harassment.

while I'm not a fan of spamming (which includes for me messages and also GIFs, that are in enormous size, taking the whole chat space), I'm all for giving subscribers on any platforms direct approaches to unsubscribe if wanted. Many ppl lose money from subscriptions for everything and this is in fact consumer friendly. For sure not friendly for ppl who earn money from subscriptions.

I think it should start being illegal for company's to make things opt out instead of opt in. if you are afraid people aren't going to use, maybe thing again about the feature you're adding

like you said, if they give us a choice for how large we want then to appear and a cool down time then it'd be fine. something that fills the whole screen and ppl can spam? ohh the trolls will have a field day with that... urgghhhhh

wow twitch has been completely imploding recently. whether someone buys the tier just to use it, they still shouldn't be that big

is it a punishment? I mean they're just asking. if someone bought it for gif access then its turned off. they should ahve that right. just as you do to say no to the gifs. if they wanna keep their sub they will. if they dont that have the option. sound fine to me

I’ll probably keep them on BUT I do think the email is very shady… I was gonna make a video on it myself because I felt it WILD

I left it on because I have two people with tier 2 so I'm not too worry about the gif spam... I can see that it can be annoying tho if you have more people

Tori 🍒 :
if they added a feature for T2 subs to use and you turned it off, its fair for them to notify people you've turned it off. I dont see the problem? if someone subscribes to your channel as a tier 2 before the gif feature, they likely won't unsub so who cares?
