Not everyone is meant for hardcore grinding on Twitch, not everyone is meant to make a living out of streaming, and not everyone wants to and that doesn't make anyone less worthy.
They're tons of "medium" Streamer out there that have been doing what they do best for years and just never "made it" and probably never will.
It would be nice to have some kind of recognition if you've been part of the twitch world for a very long time but fame is just not for you for whatever reason.
Something in between affiliates and partners to give some channel aesthetic bonuses close to what partner gets (more emotes, cheer motes...) but without the monetary side of it (no contract change, no fee change, no advert money).
In order to be fair to everyone it should be a pretty high number of year, like 4/5 maybe.
Would be something to say "okay, you've really tried, you've been here for a while now, it's okay, we see you"
