In my POV. I recently got out of my affiliate contract and shifted to multi streaming with Twitch and YouTube. Seeing how Twitch’s direction is going and social media as a whole is changing up for more opportunities. Also cause I have an opportunity to monetize on YT. I was on the first wave of affiliates back in 2017. Although it was a great way to make some income when I was able to grow an audience of my own to have subs, the last couple of months felt like it was holding me back with exploring other platforms while still wanting to keep my twitch core community with it. So losing out on the perks with Sub emotes that I easily placed on BTTV and channel points (found an alt using StreamLabs bot.) The new change with multistreaming helped me explore more opportunities and still kept my core audience. Overall I always encourage streamers who are thinking about growing opportunities is to make content on other platforms and network with streams you can vibe with.

I know there’s many ways to approach the situation I am in but I am happy with my choices. Twitch Affiliate is great if you’re just willing to just stream on Twitch, it has its ups with perks. Numbers fluctuate so don’t get it to you but hoping it goes good for ya and have fun with streaming. Good luck on your streaming career and choice!
