Reasons would be:Alerts, donations and stuff can be edited on twitchalerts/streamlabs, so why bother making others? XD
- Because in 2014 (when I made this) you didn't have that much choice.
- You have your own server and would like to run notification system on it.
- Twitch alerts used to take a cut of your donation, many still do.
- You want to be in control of your own data.
- Donations contain personal information (yours and your donor, I hope no one is selling that to partners or advertisers but you wouldn't know if they do).
Although I no longer actively add new stuff on regular basis and we are little behind in functionality the great thing is you now have many other option and can freely make your own choice.
