Why did I get a random gifted sub?

You got a random gifted sub because someone paid for it for you, often distributed by a platform algorithm (like Twitch or YouTube) to active viewers, followers, or even lurkers in a channel, sometimes as a thank you, for fun, or to share content, but it can also hit users with no connection if the system can't find someone appropriate. These subs provide temporary access to a channel's perks without you paying.

Why did I get a random gifted sub on Twitch?

Yeah, this happens all the time on Twitch unfortunately. The gifting system picks from viewers who are online and eligible, but it can't tell real users from bots. These bots meet just enough requirements to look like valid recipients. Skip random gifting and manually pick active chatters instead.
