Details: Identify channels known for active Bits gifting communities—these often have regular cheer trains, gifting squads, and milestone celebrations. Lurk in chat to observe how viewers interact, how Bits are gifted, and what etiquette is expected (e.g., thanking gifters, celebrating milestones). Take note of how emotes and recognition are used. Avoid jumping in with Bits immediately; instead, focus on understanding the flow and unwritten rules. Many beginners make the mistake of gifting without context, which can feel out of place.

Use positive messages and relevant emotes to enhance your cheer. Beginners often worry about the amount to gift; remember, even small cheers are appreciated if timed well. Avoid spamming or self-promotion. Progress is shown by positive responses from chat and streamer, and feeling included in group celebrations.
