I'm new to twitch and i'm very disappointed by the affiliate requirement descriptions, especially when it comes to average viewers needed to reach affiliate status. A few weeeks ago, i hit 3 of the affiliate requirements, then i got the Watcher of the watchers achievement, saying that i had reached 3.0 average viewers for the last 30 days. I thought this meant that i had reached affiliate status and i was told by friends on discord that i could stream all that I wanted at that point without hurting my affiliate status. However, after doing two more streams, my average plummeted to 1.2 for the last 30 days. I don't understand, if there is an amount of time that you must maintain the 3.0 average viewers, then that should be made clear in the affiliate page describing the requirements!! What is says on the affiliate description page is that to reach affiliate, I must reach all four requirements within the same 30 day period, WHICH I DID, so i don't understand why i don't have affiliate status. please respond and tell me why i don't have affiliate or correct my status is i did reach all four requirements during that 30 day period, as your affiliate status description stats is needed for that status

So many people have been asking to at least give streamers a 70% cut from getting subs, paid subs, and prime gaming subs. Due to how hard it is for streamers to live, especially in California, not many can maintain streaming, and other jobs they earn money from to keep supporting themselves, and their family. I know Twitch shouldn't be looked at as a job, but if a person subscribes to a streamer, then they consent to support that streamer by even tipping them money, as well as enjoying chat perks. Please, I at least ask a 70% cut to streamers, cause 50% is A LOT taken away from streamers/creators on Twitch, who are broadcasting on the platform, bringing new users to you guys. I truly do think, that this will impact the platform better than before, showing that streamers are cared for a lot more, and are supported more by you guys. You see so many people gifting subs/subscribing, that it shows that they truly want to get some perks, but also want to support their favorite creator.

I understand the need to meet certain requirements for affiliate. It's an accomplishment and rite of passage for most. However more and more i'm seeing that the analytics are driven by the lowest number (yes that's sadly how averaging works in math). Any chance we can do more of a MEDIAN level averaging system where we go by the literal median line and go "Ok cool, so and so had 5+ viewers consistently for an hour, 3 the previous hour and 1-2 the final hour" - Instead of it now telling me i have 0.9 to 1.9 average how about goinig down the median line and picking that at "Hmm, that's more of a 2.5" - I can't pick my hours, I can't schedule around an algorithm. I adore streaming, and this would help so many of us who met the following requirement at least a month ago and continue to gain followers - but don't have the viewership requirement. I'm not asking to scoot past with a "BOT" or anything - But if there was a way to better service the math in this so streamers large and small don't lose out as easily? If someone does a 3 hour stream and comes out with less than 2 because 45 minutes there was 0-2 viewers on average vs the other two hours having 2-5 - wouldn't that be a better way to calculate it? I know this is a stretch, and twitch has every right to say no - but i figured i'd ask for christmas.
