>give a whole bunch of Twitch bits to my favorite streamer

I still don't understand the point of bits. Can someone explain them to me? I don't use Twitch much.

It's basically donating but through twitch

Little emotes that cost real money, or you can get them by watching ads. 100 bits costs $1.40. Each bit you use in the chat gives one cent to the streamer. I had saved up a bunch of bits just from watching ads and wanted to get rid of them. I basically gave the guy a $7.25 tip, but it seemed to escape his notice.

>>36483090
I don't even understand the point of twitch. You're paying money to watch people play games?

>>36483193
You can if you want. It's not really required. You get a few perks if you subscribe to somebody and pay five dollars a month, but it's not really worth it just for that. The only reason you'd subscribe to somebody is if you just really like them.

You have to follow them when they aren't streaming.

Yeah, but I like Kyle Bosman's comfy Tetris streams, and you get a free subscription with Amazon Prime, which I was paying for anyway. I don't mind clicking a button to give Easy Allies a few bucks every month.

I have one super comfy and when people come in, it shows a Lil walking avatar. I can we how that could freak some people out but it ok cause I have like 30 skins to turn into

>>36483176
how long are the ads and how much do u get?

>>36486808
30 seconds each, but they're interactive, so you have to actually interact with them. You usually get 5 or 10. Sometimes 50 or even 100. It seems kind of random.

>>36486928
o those minigame type of ads.

>>36486961
Some of those. Sometimes it's literally just click one button at the end of a video. You never have to play with them more than 30 seconds.
