I just watched a Twitch livestream from a smaller streamer and all of a sudden without doing anything I got the message "* My name * has subscribed" and the streamer thanked me. So this subscription that costs money. I kind of got emotes too. I just don't ever remember a payment method or anything like that. Having added to Twitch? My name should actually be unique, confusion impossible. Do you get these subscription benefits just like that if you watch for longer or often? If I end this subscription I will also lose my benefits. But since I've never bought any, that's a bit strange for me. What can be the reason?
I don't know anything about Twitch but I know subscriptions can be given away and maybe someone gave you one as a gift?
Hmm that is possible, where can I see it?
Subs can be given away on Twitch. Since you were just in the stream it is quite possible that you just got a sub.
Didn't read the chat, you were right.
