in the path to affiliate, it says I'm on 48 followers when I'm on 57 now and this is all that stopping me from having affiliate.

@PistachioVT Wouldn't matter. Way to many "cheat" to get Affiliate. Just the other day, seen a "hot" female on FB F4F group w/ only 3 followers when she posted. 8 hours later, half naked pic added to profile, she had over 2k Followers, and her channel, which was streaming was "opinionated" bs, off the wall, nonsense, had 7k Viewers Active. 6 days later, w/o ever streaming again, she reached Affiliate. And on that day, she had barely 10 Active Viewers. So, don't tell me people aren't figuring out how to cheat the system. The system needs to be revamped and fair to ALL. Some of us work, family, commitments, stream "off" prime time. Why shouldn't we be able to make Affiliate also? What makes you more special than the next Joe Smo?? Oh, right, because you actually do nothing but spend you're entire time "Streaming" as a job. Not everyone has 8+ hours to devote to this. And saying "connect" does squat also. We've/I've used Twitter, Insta, FB multiple groups, FB friends listing, and everything in between. None of it worked....So tell me again why Views count more than followers? I get followers easily, but views, due to what I posted above, is NON EXISTENT. This needs a MASSIVE overhaul....

true, it is kinda scuffed.

i have 268 followers but it shows 25 in path to affiliate

Infelizmente a Twitch faz deste jeito se durante 1 hora tu tens 5 pessoas a assistir vai te dar 5 pessoas durante essa hora apenas porque se depois dessa hora passar mais uma hora e tu tiveres 0 a hora anterior não vai contar para nada.

5 pessoas durante 1h= 5 views se passar mais 1h e tiveres 0 pessoas= não teres media nenhuma

Uh no? The reason it’s viewers is because viewers are more meaningful. You could have 1,000,000 follows but if you can’t even get 3 views it’s useless.

So you all are saying, stream for 7 days, hit the 3+ mark every day during that 7 days. Then not do a **** thing the rest of the month to "CHEAT" the system?? Again, that's sh...tty math/figures on Twitch's part...

It's actually reasonable for straight 3 views, after trying to get affiliated , and being successfully. All I can say is advertise your stream.

Hey all. I hope this makes since.

When it comes to average viewer count per stream, Twitch gets the average from the views you get while you are live.

When it comes to your total average viewers, it is the average from the past 30 days. Here is a short example:

30 days before today, including today:
3/15/21 - 4/13/21
3/15 - 1.5
3/17 - 2.9
3/23 - 2.1
3/25 - 1.9
3/29 - 2.0
4/1 - 1.8
4/6 - 2.7
4/8 - 2.9
4/13 - 2.7
= 20.5 ÷ 9 days = 2.27 This would be your 30 Day Average

Now if you stream tomorrow 3/15/21 will not be included in the 30 days.
3/16/21 - 4/14/21
3/17 - 2.9
3/23 - 2.1
3/25 - 1.9
3/29 - 2.0
4/1 - 1.8
4/6 - 2.7
4/8 - 2.9
4/13 - 2.7
4/14 - 3.0
= 22 ÷ 9 days = 2.4 This would be your 30 Day Average

I hope this makes since. It took me a while to figure this all out and when I did, I focused on it and I finally made affiliate.

Your time is coming soon.

On my other account last week I had my average viewer count at 3.4 and had 58 followers. There must have been some updating issue and when my affiliate stats did update it showed 54 followers and.my average went to 2.99. so now I've missed out.

Here we go again:

You peaked at 3 viewers
You gained 3 new followers, +200% from your last stream
You had 11 unique chatters, +266% from your last stream

YET, TWITCH Still Has Me Only @ 2.06/3.....Fix Your **** Math/Counter Dudes! Seriously, You're Making It Way To Hard To Reach Affiliate When Your Math/Counter Is Always Incorrect!

Agreed

Getting affiliated should indeed be based on follower and not view count. This is just a humble opinion

Deben de modernizar y darle una buena actualización a los requisitos para ser afiliado y partner mas beneficios para el streamer.

Como espectadores y streamers merecemos buenos beneficiosos como el poder recibir un porciento X por promocionar la app de twitch a nuevos streamers y poder llegar una cantidad de horas recorridas y obtener un bonus de dinero sin tener una cantidad de espectadores mirando simultáneamente el stream.

A mi me pasa igual. Tengo todos los logros hechos para hacer afiliado. Me falta sólo lo del promedio de viwers. He tenido durante 2 horas de transmisión al menos 4 o 5 porque pongo mi cuenta, otra, la de mi hijo y un amigo y sin embargo durante toda la transmisión, siempre me sale 1 o 2 viwers, así que no entiendo como hacen ellos esto, así nunca llegaré a ser afiliado. No se si toman en cuenta la misma IP o que....he tenido 5 personas viendo a la vez mi directo y en twitch no me salen las 5...siempre 1 o 2.

yep im the same i had my mate who is stupidly insane when it comes to number and i should be and average of 6.0 and it says im a 1.85 i was sitting at 2.0 and i had 15 people talking and viewing and and after my stream it lowered my bloody average

for myself 10 people in my stream and counting 1.5

So how does this math work? I should be affiliate YET:

Day 1 :
You peaked at 5 viewers
You had 12 unique chatters

Day 2:
You peaked at 7 viewers
You had 17 unique chatters

Day 3:
You peaked at 4 viewers
You had 6 unique chatters

Day 4:
You peaked at 3 viewers,
You had 6 unique chatters

Day 5:
You peaked at 5 viewers
You had 12 unique chatters

Day 6:
You peaked at 3 viewers
You had 3 unique chatters

Day 7:
You peaked at 14 viewers
You had 19 unique chatters

14 hours Streamed
8/7 Days
113/50 Followers

HTF does this only make 1.8/3 Average Viewers????? So why didn't I make Affiliate??????

yes, and the average viewers is very laggy and never updates correctly, ive calculated it myself

ALSO IF UR STRUCK DONT DO ONE HOUR STREAM DO AT LEAST A 3 HOUR STREAM I KNOW THAT SOUNDS A BIT TO MUCH BUT I BARELY HAVE ANYONE WATCHING ME AND SO BY STREAMING LONGER I FOUND OUT THAT IT HELPS MY WATCH TIME GO UP SO AT LEAST A 3HOUR STREAM
