I'm on Ontario Disability and the system is not practical for anyone on it to try and earn an income of any kind to improve the situation. We are currently limited to earning $200 CAD per month, after that 100% of income gets deducted from the 'next' support payment until the amount that cancels the disability support. Just wanting to stream is a financial risk to me because of all the associated complications, and often costs, associated with maintaining any form of income. My previous job paid minimum wage and after 5 days I was actively losing money by going to work for the rest of the month.

My idea is that if I could just prevent anyone from wasting money on my channel I could keep streaming and hope that the system changes for the better eventually.
As it stands I am hesitant to stream on Twitch at all but it's the most likely place for me to actually have a viewer. You may have noticed my analytics are pretty much average viewers 0 - 2 bots trying to sell me followers, which I assume are just more bots.
I would like the chance to at least build a viewer base.
