Affiliates should be Verified Accounts for Phone Verified Chat
re: https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2021/09/29/securing-your-chat-with-phone-and-email-verification/
The FAQ suggests alternatives to mobile verification, VOIP, et al., are not good enough for verification; i.e., too cheap to spoof.
I'm an affiliate in long standing, can that fact not be verification that I can be trusted not to make duplicate accounts? Twitch has my tax ID, I'm pretty sure that they're pretty sure who I am. I do use Authy (and other online services) for verification, but I do not use cell networks ("mobile").
It makes little sense that Twitch has approved Us affiliates to represent their Terms of Service well enough to pay us, yet I'm not trusted enough to speak in Phone Verified Chat channels.

When I raid into other channels, the streamer talks to me and I can never talk back or even notify them that I can't talk to them because phone verification is on.
