a popular thing on twitch if or people to buy other people a sub to a channel they are watching, kind of like a pay it forward thing. A lot of times it's just a bragging right. People come in and drop 20 gift subs to someone. I'll get one sometimes even tho I was only in the chat for like 3 minutes. They just choose the random gift option and it picks people that have been in the chat room within the last few hours.Petty Pendergrass said:can someone explain to me what it means when someone gifts you a subscription to their twitch channel?
