I want to have channel points for my stream. I think it's a really fun way of allowing viewers to connect with the streamer. But I will never even consider getting Affiliate. I don't want to have to choose between running ads or getting people to find me, because we all know that if we click onto a stream that we're unfamiliar with and it runs an ad, you click off immediately. I want my viewers to be able to interact in more ways than just through chat. There's no reason that Twitch should gatekeep channel points just because we want to have the freedom to do our own thing. Twitch says they encourage creativity, but they take away the tools we need unless we generate money for them.
