Sub Badges

Bit Badges

Channel Points

Sub badges are one of the best community building tools for any streamer. badges allow a community to show how long they have been supporting the streamer. For some viewers it is more of an item of pride than actually owning the emotes from the streamer. Especially with channel points becoming a thing. It is a badge that shows that I support this streamer, am an active member of this community when I am here, and have been here for so long. These types of badges are such strong community building tools that in other streaming platforms besides twitch have added their versions of sub badges.

Bit badges do the same thing but at a smaller scale. There are community members and viewers that want to show their support to a streamer differently. It could be due to financial situation or the consistency of viewing the stream. These people deserve also to be rewarded for their support that is why custom bit badges are also a great community building tool for all streamers.

Sub Badges vs Bit Badges vs Custom Channel Points

With streamer platforms there are so many ways to help community members to showcase their loyalty to a specific streamer. With sub badges, bit badges, and channel points each of these are competing or working together depending on the stream. So when should each of them be used or not used? That comes down to the streamer and their stream. All streamers should have custom sub badges this at least gives their community an identity and is easily recognizable.

The choice really comes down to what kind of stream is the streamer wanting to have when it comes to bit badges and channel points. If a streamer has goals for their streams (i.e. donation goals, bit goals, sub goals, etc.) bit badges are a solid investment to help show those who have supported you to get to your goals.

If a streamer is wanting a more interactive stream than the best way to do that nativity in a stream is to use is channel points. Making a custom channel point icon brings more personality to a stream. Also making custom artwork for each of the interaction makes the stream seem that more engaging.
