basically subs now are the province of the big streamers
subs and followers should be scraped for 60 day view counts looking for consistency over that time in growth or avg viewers per stream. A bench mark would be based on that streamer. For ex: Streamer A streamed 8 days over 60 days with total of 100 viewers with an avg of 8 viewers per live stream- streamer b streamed 45 days 2000 total views with an avg of 26 live views over that 45 days. Streamer B gets upgraded allowing viewers to tip/donate they get emotes etc. That is it. The 60 day run would begin at the streamers notion to green light the 60 day shot. Twitch support would look at the data at confirm.
this would give narrow focus streamers a much better chance of getting the project moving because of its individualized nature. Say a literature streamer has 20 live viewers every stream and they stream 50 of the 60 days - in todays world the streamer is a plebe never getting to partner or affiliate - in this alternative he would get upgraded.
The broad based streamer/silly gimmich streamer still does what they do and would not change most likely. The fakers would be found out forth with, and the slow consistent builders would be rewarded for effort so a win win.
Additionally any dmca strikes would start the clock over from zero.
