Channel points for ALL streams

So, I was an affiliate and decided to leave the program and really miss the interactive channel point system. It would be LOVELY if you all would give channel points to ALL streamers because it just makes sense. Channel points are a great way to have interactivity with your community and it SUCKS that I, a non-affiliate or partner streamer, can't use the feature. I may be in the minority of this though. My question is though, why is it only for affiliates and partners anyways? It's not like you make money off the channel points anyways, so it really just makes more sense for everyone to have access to them.

    why isn't this already a thing

    Acordado. Sugeriría que Twitch cree un logro diferente para desbloquear estas funciones que no requieran Afiliado. Por ejemplo, permitir el canje de puntos de canal para todos los canales con el logro "Crear una comunidad"; o basar el acceso en el estado de Twitch Prime, o la cantidad de espectadores de Twitch Prime que miran.

    Agreed. I would suggest Twitch create a different achievement to unlock these features that doesn't require Affiliate. Such as, allow Channel Point redemptions for all channels with 'Build a Community' achievement; or base the access on Twitch Prime status, or the number of Twitch Prime viewers watching.

    Not just channel points: But Points, Point rewards, Predictions, Polls, and similar features have nothing to do with the streamer monetizing, and ought not have any need to to be an Affiliated channel.

    Some channels won't want to or cannot become Affiliate for one reason or another due to considerations such as advertising -- Affiliate status is Not something all channels who need the features will get.

    Other channels are simply on the path to Affiliate, and not having the features is a hinderance. They could use Channel Points in a manner that would help them to actually reach the prerequisite growth or viewership size necessary, before they meet the requirements, or before it is suitable to join Affiliate.

    Not trying to deny what you said cos I believe that is true, why can't non affiliates/partners have channel points. But on the other hand, its used as a way to entice people to grow their community enough to get affiliate, and i see that as a valid reason. we need something to be as a reward for affiliate (other then monetisation, something fun).
