I know Twitch probably wants to keep emote prefix customisation exclusive to Partners, but the current auto-generation rules for Affiliates are just ungodly awful. For example, with my username MusicSounds1011, the first 6 characters are "MusicS" and so I get the prefix "musics17". Someone with, say, the username "justbill" might get the prefix "justbi27", which in no way reflects their brand.
It would be great if Twitch allowed more options to prefix generation, especially to new affiliates who get dumped a prefix that means literally nothing, e.g. allowing Affiliates to choose 3-12 adjacent characters in any part of their username as their prefix. In my case, I would be able to choose, say, "music426" or even "musicsounds" over "musics17".
The current system just benefits people with usernames that split after the first 6 characters, e.g. Manhal\_IQ\_ (now a partner but his auto-generated prefix back when he was still affiliate was already "manhal"), making it unfair to others with a wide variety of usernames.
