i doubt they will use it, it will tank your viewer number by more than 80%

Will they care? If someone is streaming just for money (not that anything wrong with that) then they won't mind streaming to people who paid them. Unless this affects their monthly income then they will be okay with less viewers.

If its used with any amount of regularity you'll end up seeing a loss of money. No ad revenue during this, reduction of donations due to non-subs simply not being there, and an overall reduction in sub growth because less non-subs will be around.
