You see I’m a partner myself and what does it change? Any big streamer is also partner, so we are same status technically, but there is a huge difference, because I’m W H OMEGALUL even with a check mark. It can sound mean and who I am really to talk about affiliates when I got express carried to partner status by Ela and his community’s love, but fact is still there – Affiliate status means nothing, it’s all about your channels and effort you put into it, if I hear that someone is affiliate it means nothing to me, if I see them putting work in and streaming regularly – that is status. When you go to TwitchCon for example, affiliates are pretty much the same as regular visitors, just one extra word on the badge that gives nothing and means nothing. Problem here is that affiliate status is already not valuable, since there is insane amount of affiliates and many are getting it easy left and right, then also “main” Twitch streamers have such huge numbers that it overshadows all the requirements for affiliate by a mile, making it look like nothing to some average viewer who’s not familiar with smaller streamer life. So what’s all the ruckus about? First of all, affiliate is not hard to get, I know some people who just got it to have their own emotes that they can use in other chats for free, but for some people road wasn’t simple, so they just don’t like that this move “devalues” status of affiliate. To get affiliated you need to stream for 8 hours per week, reach 50 followers and have 3 average concurrent viewers, then you get basic access to all features partners have just in limited format.
#Monstercat twitch license license#
Copyright claims for music is something that happens a lot on Twitch recently and DMCApocalypse is something everyone is talking about a lot recently, so Monstercat collaborated with Twitch, giving everyone who subs for their license instant Affiliate status on Twitch. Some intro info: Monstercat is a music label, that provides special license-subscription that allows content creators to use their music without copyright claims and all that for pretty reasonable price of 5$/mo and their library is pretty nice for electronic music fans. Obviously reaction to that was pretty negative overall, not a huge shitstorm, but a lot of upset people and a lot of messages to other streamers asking them to give their take. Affiliate status is something that is very hard to get on Twitch, but now you can get it by just investing pretty small sum of money in music service subscription. Been a while since I posted my Pepega takes, so here we go, very fresh one too.
