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.
