Add Chat Engagement Metric for Twitch Bounty Sponsorships
We propose adding a Chat Engagement Metric as a requirement for payout in Twitch Bounty Sponsorships, which currently rely solely on the Average Concurrent Viewers (ACCV) metric.
Rationale:
With the rise of Twitch Drops, many creators see an influx of viewers who are only present for rewards, inflating ACCV numbers without genuine engagement. These artificially boosted numbers can lead to creators qualifying for Bounty program payouts without providing real value to sponsors.
Suggestion:
For the fairness and effectiveness of the Twitch Bounty Program, we recommend incorporating a Chat Engagement Metric into the payout criteria. Channels with high ACCV should also demonstrate unique chat engagement from a significant portion of their viewers. If a channel's engagement falls below a set threshold, the payout should be adjusted accordingly.
This addition ensures that sponsors receive genuine interaction and influence from creators, aligning the Bounty Program's goals with actual viewer engagement and content impact.
