eddaket's Path to Partner!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you guys know that I am pushing for Partner on Twitch! I wanted to share some info and do a little FAQ regarding the whole process in case you're curious

Q: What are the requirements for getting Partner?
A: There are 3 requirements in the Path to Partner achievement (all refer to the last 30 days):
- Stream for 25 hours
- Stream on 12 different days
- Average of 75 viewers (Concurrent viewership excluding Hosts, Raids, and Embeds)

These are the base requirements to be "strongly considered". Meeting these requirements do not guarantee partnership

Q: What are the perks of being a Partner vs Affiliate?
A: You can see all of the differences here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/joining-the-affiliate-program?language=en_US#faq

These are the differences that would affect me:
- Partners can have custom Cheermotes. Affiliates cannot
- Partners can unlock up to 60 Sub Emotes. Affiliates can unlock up to 5 Sub Emotes
- Partners can run and make money off Ads. Affiliates cannot
- Partners get full access to Transcode Options. Affiliates get priority (though not guaranteed) access
- Partners can Squad stream. Affiliates cannot
- Partner payout fees are covered by Twitch. Affiliate payout fees are not
- Partners get a special Support Queue. Affiliates do not
- Partners get a Verified Channel badge. Affiliates do not

Of those, the only ones that I truly care about are the Sub Emotes and the Transcode options. The rest are nice, but those two are huge in my eyes

Q: When did you last apply?
A: I applied on July 7th and received a rejection on July 29th

Q: Why were you rejected?
A: The rejection email doesn't give a real reason. The general gist of it though is "we see you are growing and want to observe your channel for a bit to make sure you stay consistent"

Q: When can you apply again?
A: August 12th

Q: How can I help?
A: Just come and hang out :). You don't need to stay for long (or even come by every day), but if you really do want to help me get this achievement then that's what you can do for me

Q: What is your current average viewership?
A: For full transparency, I'll just list out my streams since getting back to GDQ. These numbers are coming from my Twitch dashboard, so if you check another site like SullyGnome, it might be a bit different. I'll also throw my 30 day average as of that day as well so we can check out the consistency
