Increase affiliate viewer count requirement to 6
After browsing through some channels with 2-4 viewers, I have noticed a trend with streamers artificially boosting their viewer count by also watching on their phone and another device. This brings them to the 3 average viewer mark without them actually needing to have real viewers. Personally I consider this view-botting, which is already against twitch rules.
I propose increasing the requirement just high enough so that most channels would find it difficult to essentially view-bot themselves into affiliate status just by having multiple devices. This would increase the value of affiliate status to both streamers and viewers.

Not sure this is really needed. It doesn't affect users really, and those users wont earn anything from having affiliate if no one watches.
