Raid viewers should count towards Partner or Affiliate if they stay for more than 1 hour
I understand that raid viewers did not discover the stream themselves, so if they stick around just for the raid, it shouldn't count towards the viewership criteria for Partner/Affiliate. However, I have been in streams where people who had never visited the streamer before stay for hours after the raid. I feel like that's a sure sign that the streamer has "hooked" the raider and you can consider them a full-on viewer that counts towards the criteria. I just think it's super unfair and discourages raiding because we know it's not gonna help anyone in the end. Raiding feels useless without some kind of end result to hope for.

Locksmith services proposes that raid viewers who stay for over an hour should count toward achieving Twitch Partner or Affiliate status. This approach would reward creators for engaging and retaining viewers from raids, which reflects genuine interest and interaction. Recognizing sustained viewership would motivate creators to foster meaningful connections, enhancing community growth. Encouraging long-term engagement through this change could empower streamers on their journey to partnership.

Actually that only means that they were AFK hence why they don't and shouldn't count for partner evaluations. of course they do and have always counted toward affiliate because that is not as strenuous a review. P.S yes I know this is old but for any who stumble across it like i did while researching something I want the truth to be out there.
