What are penne points now?

Fucking useless. No, seriously.

Phil explained what they were. Viewers get these points by watching his streams. These points then can be used for:

-Altering emotes, but this is only visible for the person altering them.
-Unlocking emotes, but only for 24 hours.
-Highlighting a message, which will still be ignored by Phil.
-Being able to send a message even though the xhat is in sub only mode if you are not a sub.

Anything and everything is just completely fucking useless, and as Phil was explaining what they do, it was obvious that he often didn't know what they did exactly himself. That is how invested he is in his streams and his audience: he hypes up everything he does, but never does the bare minimum like a little research into the game he is playing, making an effort to get better, nothing.

Pretty sure if you modify an emote, it functions as if you unlocked that emote for 24 hours. I've done it on other channels and you can use it across the entirety of Twitch for that timeframe. So, Phil has no idea what he's talking about (as usual) if he said it's only visible to the person who modified the emote.

I have no idea why he renamed the channel points thing to Penne Points. Basically, they are there to "reward" viewers who watch a stream and can be used to unlock emotes to use, although they're only available for 24 hours from the time you unlock them. You can also highlight a message for the streamer's chat, but as said, Phil will just ignore that message most of the time. A streamer also has the option to create their own rewards, too, like a music streamer could potentially put music requests as a reward.
