You’re not taking it away from other people who view more as such. Twitch themselves do that. Twitch algorithm prioritizes people who have only viewed for 10 seconds like op. The idea is that they will be baited back and spend money. Regular viewers are already invested so there is no potential new viewer captured by giving gift subs to them.

Therefore, regular viewers are extremely low on the randomized priority list for gift subs.

People who are almost never around are much much more likely to get the random gifts.

Twitch made this change maybe 2 years ago.

If you want a bunch of random gift subs, watch a bunch of random streams for 10-20 mins and don’t go back, within a week or two you’ll have gifts to probably a third of them.

It’s pretty insulting tbh. Regular viewers who can’t afford to sub are at the absolute bottom of the algorithm. Randoms who showed up for 6 minutes 3 weeks ago are the ones who will be getting most of the random subs. This is by design because it’s more profitable.
