Getting affiliate should be about getting more followers and not more viewers
set the affiliate program just to 50 or 75 followers because twitch has a massive problem with correct viewer count, I have had like 20 people watching my stream at one time before, all chatting at the same time, and it only counted for like 2 or 3 of them.

It's average viewers. It depends on the amount of time you stream and how many viewers you have every five minutes. Even if you get 20 people for a little while, if you had 1 viewer the rest of your time then the average will be less than 3. They want you to show them you can keep people watching your stream. It's supposed to be a hard goal.

Disagree. If someone buys a bunch of followers or does Follow-For-Follow, it will just cause more issues.

Think honestly most here do not either know how averages work or how the viewer count actually works.....Here it is in a nutshell the longer you stream the lower your average will become so if your streaming hours upon hours with 2 - 3 people it is never going to work....As soon as you hit your 3 viewers stop stream start again the next day rinse repeat. Always have your stream summary open to check what your current average is once it hits 3 then stop the stream easy. I did this and was affiliate within a week. I have also made affiliate using the same strategy for streamraiders which requires you to have a 20 viewer average over 14 days .
As for those that are saying they have 20 to 30 chatting and not getting the average i think they aren't being very honest about their numbers i can garantee the viewer count is not that broken.
Remember twitch only counts the first 2 tabs opened by a viewer if they have yours open as the 3rd then it simply does not count. Also mute the tab not the player.
I do not wish this to change as it just promotes follow for follow if the average is removed.

My last 4 streams claim I had 0 viewer average even though the bar chart on the same page shows 1-3 viewers during the whole streams. How could the average be zero when the average viewers chart isn't zero? Something is wrong.

Si esos espectadores te entraron a la mitad de stream...pues te hace la media de la mitad y mitad. Las raids no cuentan para la media pero si para los espectadores máximos.

Infatti mi sembra giusto che l'affiliazione dovrebbe riguardare più i follower che gli spettatori ed è giusto che twitch ha un grosso problema con il conteggio corretto degli spettatori , io un volta avevo circa 50 utenti in chat che mi guardvavano e twitch mi diveca che avevo solo 1 spettatore

My gods why do people have so much dificulty affiliating. The algorythm is simply a numbers bot. When I came over from FaceIdiot and sick of Follow4Follow morons jumping in your stream jacking up your numbers, and hoping you will do the same for them. Well in Twitch it is the opposite you need 6-10 friends and 1 hour a day for a week. Voila ..... Affiliation!. Okay I did it the hard way, I spent a month streaming 12 hour streams every day, ruining my chances, but seriously after I worked out where I had gone wrong, and spent another month getting my hours back in check. I was Affiliated in 1 week!. So come on, stop complaining at Twitch for unfair math, Dumb math yes, but unfair nope!.

It should be both. I think the reqs for affiliate are far too little imo since YouTube requires 10,000 hours of watch time and 1000 followers before a channel gets paid. I think the affiliate reqs should be doubled for Twitch channels to 5 average viewers and at least 100 followers since it's easy to cheat your way to 3 average viewers.

The reason this idea won’t work is because then everyone will be just doing follow for follow. If you get the follows but don’t have any viewers except for yourself, then ad revenue will be low as well as any other potential growth. Best thing to do is to market yourself accordingly, everywhere and anywhere (not on others streams) and request people pull your stream up first and keep you tabbed. As well as if they are comfortable to type in chat once every so often.
But as far as twitch doing away with viewer counts, that will never happen. Active viewers is how twitch gets paid for ads. Adtrackers and such. If no one watches the ad, then twitch doesn’t get paid, and in turn, the streamer.
