correct viewer count towards affiliate
several people I speak to during streams are having the same issue, we have 5+viewers but only showing as 1 or 2 making it harder to hit affiliate average of 3, this should either be fixed or taken out of the affiliate system, help smaller streamers to create a small fan base. we stream everyday putting the hours up but the view count down as the stats are incorrect making it impossible to hit what's asked on average.

I streamed for about 4.5 hours and had 3 dedicated viewers for almost the ENTIRE time. They had volume on and were actively watching. We also are not on the same IP address and none use a VPN. Yet, my count never climbed above 1. The 3 viewers I mentioned were not the only in there, as others did pop in and out, but I KNOW those 3 were in there (for more than 5 minutes) and should have been counted.
Why is this still and issue? I would think twitch would want EVERYONE to become an affiliate so they can make money off of us. As of now they are making nothing, once we are affiliates they get half of what we bring in, so why are they not fixing this? -

It's very hard to average 3 viewers. I have every requirement for affiliate and I have already unlocked vip badges, but I'm only averaging one viewer even though every stream I peak at like 3-15 viewers. Most of them chat, and that goes to my vip badges, but not to my affiliate? I personally think this should be taken out of the affiliate requirements or be fixed so that like You can get 3 average viewers *For one Stream* or you can peak at 5 viewers. Or you can remove it. I think it should be easier for the smaller streamers to get affiliate and I Don't think this average viewer thing should be broken. It should either be changed, fixed, or removed.

I feel like the 3+ average viewers actually encourages new streamers to stream less and they have very little control or help with getting more viewers unlike followers with can steadily grow into viewship. If you stream often like I do even though I don't have a lot of viewers, I am trying to practice and get better at talking during my stream, I am trying to pretend to have viewers even when there are none. However, the more I stream without any viewers the harder it is to get to an average of 3+ viewers. Maybe it should be to get a single stream with 3+ viewers (or maybe just up the number a bit since that would probably be pretty easy) or and average within the last few days or a week. Don't punish beginner streamers for streaming more when they don't have any viewers, give them time to practice.

Looking at my channel analytics I see 3.1 average viewers (which means I may be able to become an affiliate), HOWEVER-- when I looked at my path to affiliate goal (in achievements) I saw 2.99 average viewers (thus explaining the lack of any sort of notification).
Though 2.99 instead of 3.1 is disappointing, it's still better than not knowing if the actual viewership is going through.
Perhaps this is some sort of rounding error?
But that doesn't make sense since 2.99 rounds to 3.0, not 3.1...?There's another bug regarding views, looking at the list of names in chat, I occasionally find between 6-8 names that ARE NOT counted on the viewer count, which reduces my perceived average.
Please either:
1. Be sure that it's counting EVERY viewer minute to minute as not to somehow miss someone.
2. If it's the API not updating the viewer count as often, please refresh the number more often or whenever the 'viewer list' button is clicked to avoid confusion.
3. Make sure to remove viewers that may have just left from the list.Your work and help is much appreciated, thank you.
Sincerely,

I've been achieving the 3 out of 4 requirements meant for affiliate. I have been for almost a year now. Why can't we just skip the average view count? I feel like that really holds us back. We already have a lot of amazing people taking their time to watch us, and I know I have an average of 3 or more viewers. That counter never goes up to 2. It's always a 1, or a 1.67. I get around 12 views on my recent broadcasts, you can check for yourself. So why won't the average view counter go up? Because of the 30 days? It's been more than 30 days, and it's still under 2. Isn't there a way to just skip that last part?

I'm having a higher viewer average and follower count than the achivements page is showing to me.
Event when I hit the link which is presented directly at the achivement "30 day statistics" It is showing different viewer counts and streaming time for the last 30 days (which are more correct in my opinion).
But the stats on the achivements page itself are totally wrong - they show much less than it's actually.
For example: 30 day stats show 4.0 viewers and the achivement goal shows 2.86I know that I had this month more than 4 viewers and that statistics should be correct then and the value of the achivement is wrong. Also if I sum up my streaming time this month I'm above 30 hours - that is also reflected by the 30 day stats but the achivements page shows for the last 30 day Affiliate goals only 28 hours.
So it seems I'm unable to hit the achivement goals there even when I've met the conditions for some goals already.
There's also an inconsistency in the acvhiements itself.
I unlocked the achivement having streamed for 7 days out of 30 days. But the Affiliate goal is only showing 6 of 7 days.I can also send you screenshots if you need further information.

I'm having the exact same issues! I have an average of 3-7 viewers per stream, every hour I stream and twitch isn't counting them correctly either. Hopefully, twitch will take this into account.

Quick Background: I've been streaming for about 11 days straight now, coming off of building a new PC and wanting to do this as a hobby - I wanted to be able to show past broadcasts/videos/clips of my gameplay, so that if people do happen to view my channel, they can see some past gameplay footage to see the experience of what transpires when I'm online...
The way that affiliate requirements are set up at the moment, with the 3.0 average viewer of 30 day period, for a person that streams 2-4 hours a night as a new streamer, is somewhat ridiculous IMO - I usually only have 1-2 people come in, and stick around for about an hour or so while we chat via chat messages/mic, but it seems that most games I've streamed (COD MW, Tera, Conqueror's Blade, Tom Clancy Division 2, WoW) have already established names in the community, thus it's hard to get a viewer count above 3+ persons on a nightly basis due to the market...
My point is when I'm not on stream, that I'd like to be able to post some "sample" type of gameplay - whether it's a past broadcast, or a 1-minute clip, so that if people do happen to see my channel, they can click on it and see the highlight of my playstyle/what I'm like as a gamer and potential streamer...
To have nothing on my homepage due to inability to upload or save clips, makes my channel feel empty/not worthy of returning for a new viewer.
My suggestion to this rant, would be to allow new accounts to either post a set limit of uploaded clips (say 30 seconds to 1 minute) to their channels, or allow for say, 3-5 day broadcast views from previous days (as in, be able to post recent broadcasts that get deleted after 3-5 days in channel) - this would atleast allow for people visiting the channel to see some content on homepage without having the streamer to be online.
Thank you for consideration.

Hi there.
After MONTHS of viewing, exploring and updating my dash board, in ALL pages... it never attempt to set that achievement.Honestly, I have no idea how to manage it.
What have I to do, more? Viewed videos, checked it multiple times, weeks after weeks, months after months.
Maybe... and I repeat MAYBE, it is bugged?
Or as usual, little channel/streamers are put aside, as EVERY other social like instagram or yt?Maybe.
Even when i check asking "are you online"? and my users say "yes"... very very very often, the viewers count is not showing them... and thus my achievements counter goes down, blocking me to get new goals.
Please can you fix it? thanks a lot.

Confirmed, 1,000,000% guaranteed more than 1 viewer. I was actively talking in chat with at least 4 at the same time, yet all night viewer count showed 1. This negatively effects my ability to reach affiliate drastically considering this was an almost 6 hour stream. Everyone on here is telling you this is a problem, what will be done to correct my account?

Since the viewer count on twitch is almost always off, then what twitch should do is the goal should be about 2 viewers and the follower goal should be about 75 to 100.
