Subscribing to a Twitch stream is a great way to support your favorite creators. In fact, some streamers will even give you a shoutout live on air if you subscribe while they're broadcasting.

However, with Twitch subscriptions costing $4.99 a month per channel, you might not want to give your support indefinitely.
