Streamers spend a lot of time on Twitch, and off Twitch to come up with great content for their audience. If the audience or the viewers want to show their support for the streamers, then they can buy Bits on Twitch.
These Bits are used for encouraging and showing support for the streamers. When the viewers show support for streamers, then they get many things in return.
For example, they get badges for recognition, leaderboards, and even acknowledgment from the streamer they are supporting. They can unlock loot when special sports events are going on; one such event is the Overwatch League Cheering.
If you have Bits, then you can chat in Sub Only chat rooms. You should always have some Bits handy, in case you want to join in a conversation.
You can donate to a streamer that you like the most, by watching Twitch ads and collecting Bits.

Extra bits
So why should you go the extra mile and watch ads for bits on twitch?
This is because, when you send Bits to your favorite streamer, then that helps you stand out. The animated emotes that you buy from Bits, are displayed in chats.
If you use a lot of Bits, then you will get bigger and cooler-looking emotes. However, don’t spend all the Bits on just one emote, and spend them little by little.
Streamers set up alerts, in case someone sends them a donation. They read the donated Bits and even the name of the person who donated.
If you want your favorite streamer to say your name during a stream, and mention the Bits that you have donated, then this is the best way to do so.
Conclusion
Bits are really cool. They are not only encouraging your favorite streamer, but it is also fun for you. If you want to take part in sub-chat rooms, then this is the perfect way to do it.
