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.
We announced today on Patch Notes that we will be giving all streamers access to Channel Points. We will begin rolling out in the US on 7/28 and expand globally over the course of this year.

@Lajistiic : To transfer channel points from one channel to an another is I think a bad idea (and even this is a very different topic).
If you transfer your 150k to my channel, and watch the stream for 5 minutes, you could buy a VIP badge on my channel for example for 100k. Sorry, but you are not a VIP in my eye, because you did not watched my stream for 500 hours, rather than maybe a hot tube streamer who is not me :)

I have over 150,000 channel points in channels that ended up quitting streaming, thats over 500 hours collecting channel points that I can't do anything with now. I'm hoping to create one big channel point counter that you keep across all channels or a way to transfer channel points over to a different stream.

I'm sorry but I disagree on this. While I agree that it is a nice feature to have and allows more and better Viewerinteractivity, its not the only way like others stated before. I don't really know myself why twitch made it only available for affiliates and above, affiliated or people who sign a contract with Twitch obviously should receive more Perks and its a nice Feature to look forward to unlock. Achieveving Affiliate should feel rewarding as well so I can see why certain things should unlock after becoming one and the post itself sounds more like you want everything the page has to offer with not being obligated to sign the contract.. So there are obviously still a lot of other ways to use for interacting with your chat which might not help you. From a company state of view, If new streamers want to unlock nice features, they have to commit to the contract with twitch with kinda makes sense for them I guess.

Update to me: I went back to being an affiliate, but my stance still stands. And people can say just get a channel bot, however you have to use bot commands to access and know about the channel points. With the twitch points, you see it right in front of you without having to jump through hoops to find them and its just over all easier to use so it still just makes sense for everyone to have access to them since it's really on there as an incentive for going for affiliate.

If you don't want to be an affiliate or partner, get a channel bot to do your channel points instead.

+1 As a little Streamer you can do more with your Community with this feature. And when Twitch says that non Affiliates only can have 25 Rewards. Better than nothing.

As a moderator who rarely streams, I would like channel points on my own channel, just so I could see what options there were. I'd like to give ideas to my streamers, but have to go through other people to see what options there are.

Twitch has made a mistake they made channel points only available for twitch partners and affilliate's what i think is wrong cause there is plenty of streamers out there waiting to be big but wont get their chance cause you have to be a affilliate or twitch partner witch is really hard to become

I think that having channel points open to any streamer would be better for smaller streamers to grow and help them communicate and interact with their community
