BEWARE: this is not INCOME
This money goes to ‘spendable income’ on Twitch, meaning you can use it for subs and bits towards OTHER CHANNELS but not your own
And it is TAXED.
some people are being rather annoying for a genuine question regarding this but i completely agree that affiliate was supposed to be something that pushed you to put more effort into streaming.
yeah affiliates get payouts but all the extra benefits and community benefits was another extra, something to look forward to share with your community once you were established with some semblance of a community after working very hard to become affiliated with twitch. it seems a little silly to do this, even if it is great to have all these cool community benefits for everyone.
yeah i agree with everyone else about questioning what the point of being affiliated anymore with this? becoming an affiliate was a milestone and a goal to work towards when starting out in the streaming industry, now it seems pointless to have it.
will the affiliate program and partner program have some more benefits to it that make it more of a goal to push towards?
📢 Starting today, Channel Points, emotes, subs, Bits, and badges are available to all streamers on Twitch - no Affiliate status required!

your apology may address that you understand that the manipulation of feelings is hurtful, but you need to know that this could (if it hasn't already) have bad effects on your community and how they view you. and you need to know that they are not obligated to forgive you.
oof. what a way to truly jostle your community like this, as if they aren't people who most likely DO support you and care for the content you create.
running a social experiment on your own community to see who would care if you left or not is manipulation. it's almost the same as someone threatening to leave a relationship just to test loyalty and to garner care (as much as you say you didn't intend for this to be a scare tactic, you still did it regardless of any clues you left).
Yes, it was all a ruse.
I have ZERO plans to leave just yet. Just wanted to be a little annoying on my birthday, is all. You have my apologies for scaring everyone.
But, that's not the only reason why I did this little social experiment.
(This is long, so take breaks if you want.)
In truth, the VTubing community has one that's been unkind to me since my debut.
Don't get me wrong, there were good things.
Friends, collabs, projects, the whole nine yards.
But some experiences before and during my run, it's tough.
Tech issues, stalkers, emotional and financial manipulation, being used for love, mishandled collabs, being an outcast of certain groups, being excluded from projects, just a background character, being a male VTuber in a primarily female dominant profession, etc.
Alongside that, real life pressures are compounded with these issues too. I still have to focus on multible jobs IRL. So what I mentioned in that "fake" announcement, was still factual.
It felt like I was a speck of dust on the counter top, only to be wiped away at any moment. Did I have resentment? Of course, who wouldn't? But could I be vocal about it? For the most part, I felt like I couldn't.
So, that's why I planned this out. To see if anyone would notice someone as small as me would disappear, but I made sure to leave small hints.
The red text? Always there, just "transclucent". The truth was part of my "plan in the background".
Some of you caught on; some didn't. But I never expected this amount of people reacting to the announcement. More than 80 different people gave a like to it with some leaving comments.
It was more reactions than my first cover song, actually. (This one kinda hurt because that was special to me, so ow).
However, what I didn't even expect individuals who hurt me to even interact with my post. And to them, I only want to ask one simple question, "Why?"
I'm already a stranger to you, despite asking the opposite of that from me. You already told me that we're not friends, only acquaintances. Coldly, mind you. I respected that and I resolved to never interact with you again. And now, you liked a post where I could be gone forever?
I don't even know who you are anymore, J.
That aside, I'm still at a loss for words. Seeing so many people confirms at thing that everyone keeps saying: people only start to care about someone when they're gone.
Once again, I apologize to everyone if you worried about me. In truth, I was and still am worried that this plan acted as a scare tactic akin to using s___ide as a threat. It was not and never the case; it was only an experiment with clues left everywhere to see where things stand.
I'll go back to streaming later this week. I'll go over this entire experiment again during that.
the vtubing community IS tough. it can be harsh at times and YES, you make valid points of how some people or groups can make it very disheartening. how people will show they miss you or care once you leave. people can be cruel and this community is over saturated with vtubers. but you HAVE to form your space on the internet yourself. not everyone will be part of your community and that is fine. that is something you need to live with. you pick and choose the people to surround yourself with. and i am truly sorry that so many unfortunate things have happened in your time of vtubing but that's no excuse to make your community feel the way you felt; lied to, manipulated, used even.
you already have a community with people expressing their concern and care and you put them through an experiment. what does that exactly say about you? this is my first impression of you and it is not a good look. you don't treat your community like lab rats to test them, to see if they can find the clues. i can't speak for them, but if i was part of your community, i'd be disappointed and upset.
