This is a proposal for additional emote slots for Partners to support Affiliates by raiding their channels. This feature would create a win-win situation for both parties. Partners would get more emotes to express themselves and attract more subscribers, while Affiliates would get more exposure and potential followers. Currently, Partners have access to 60 standard emote slots and 5 animated emote slots. However, many Partners feel that this is not enough, especially compared to other platforms that offer more emote options. Therefore, this feature would provide an additional incentive for Partners to stay on Twitch and grow their channel. The feature would work on a sliding scale, based on the average viewership of the Partner and the Affiliate. The idea is to reward Partners who raid smaller channels, as this would have a bigger impact on the Affiliate's growth. For example, if a Partner has 5000 average viewers, they would need to raid an Affiliate with 500 average viewers or less to qualify for the feature. The number of raids required to unlock an additional emote slot would depend on the type of emote (standard or animated) and the duration of the raid period (one month or three months). The (markdown) table below shows an example of how the feature could work:

| | Partner's Average Viewers | Affiliate's Average Viewers | Number of Raids for Standard Emote | Number of Raids for Animated Emote | |
|:----|:----|:----|:----|:----|:----|
| |---------------------------|----------------------------|------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| |
| | 5000 | 500 or less | 5 raids in one month | 30 raids in three months | |
| | 4000 | 400 or less | 4 raids in one month | 24 raids in three months | |
| | 3000 | 300 or less | 3 raids in one month | 18 raids in three months | |
| | 2000 | 200 or less | 2 raids in one month | 12 raids in three months | |
| | 1000 | 100 or less | 1 raid in one month | 6 raids in three months | |

This feature would not only benefit Partners and Affiliates, but also Twitch as a whole. It would foster a more supportive and collaborative streaming community, where streamers help each other grow and succeed. It would also increase the engagement and retention of viewers, who would enjoy more variety and quality of emotes. Moreover, it would generate more revenue for Twitch, as more emotes would lead to more subscriptions and bits donations.
