    i came here to say the same thing, so ill just comment on it. it seems silly to force viewers to be prime members. its hard enough to get some people in your stream then you try to show content only a % would have access to, youre instantly filtering out viewers you worked to get. im glad i tested it out before i went through all the effort to get a bunch of my friends excited to hang out and watch something fun then have non-prime members drop out, everyone let down. i think its getting to the point where everyone has cashed in their free trial, so thats not a viable solution for most people. i also had to stop the watch party.

    i think it would make far more sense to let non-prime people in watch parties, its essentially as if were hosting 'tupperware parties' for prime video, inviting all our friends to our stream and showing off the great content they could watch if they had prime, like us. then theyre going to realize they dont need me to finish watching if they sub to prime themselves, or they come back to twitch to watch more on my stream later. either way you end up on top. you could at least do it with amazon originals older than 6 months. i also like the other posters idea about getting kickbacks if someone signs up to prime through your watch party, and they make a good point that we round up a bunch of people on our stream to watch the content that they have to pay to see yet it doesnt really benefit my stream or me at all. especially because at that point they could say why have this guy take up space on my screen now, ill just watch it myself and leave, after ive done all the legwork all the benefits go to prime sales.
