Hi my names Ste I am a mixer streamer by the name of TwistedLimit. I was wondering if a channel one for non partnered streamers could be considered in the future as I believe it would benefit a wider audience then what you currently have with partners also it would strengthen your claim to help new and existing content creators these days I have seen so many content creators between 0 and 7.5k struggle and become disheartened due to the lack of support to non partnered content creators.
I believe that this idea could change the balance to shape new/future content creators with support, encouragement, exposure and the ability to connect with other new content creators so they can help each other to grow in this ever so competitive environment.
Obviously there would be conditions thus streamers would have to meet but all content creators would be considered.
I do hope you take this onboard as it is very real situation that without the support of the brand that promotes its own content creators i would think they would take a little bit of time to consider helping those who need nurturing with the support you can offer as when a new or existing content creator gets hosted, talked to in chat even get noticed by someone it sparks them to be the best they can and encourages them to push hard to seek greater things.

I do this for all of those streamers that have struggled, have had a hard time finding the right people to connect with, need and appreciate any help that is received no matter how small it isi have a post on twitter about this the link is https://twitter.com/TwistedLimited/status/1095618185183805441?s=19
There are many other content creators that feel the same and i hope this does become a thing as it will benefit so many people.

I appreciate your time

Hello, I'm OgSavageKitty and I'm going to try to keep this short. I started streaming since Oct (7 months ago). I currently have 12,322 followers and 119,547 views. I applied for partnership 5/5/19 and got a response on 5/9/19. I and my community believe that I have been reviewed unfairly. I have everything that Mixer is looking for in a partnered streamer. Community building and engagement are the reasons I got denied which bewilders me. I have an extensive, and loyal community. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be how far I am right now! They always ask me when can they sub, and have been saving sparks for me. I make sure I communicate with everyone in the stream, and actively speak to the audience. As far as to spark engagement I do have interactive buttons, but they only cost one spark. I disable all sparks that cost more than 5,000, and I tell all my viewers that use sparks on me to save them because they only benefit partner streamers.
When I was under review I only streamed and had VOD on for 3 days. Sunday I streamed Fortnite and was averaging 50-75 viewers like yall ask for in popular games. Monday I streamed GTA averaging 45viewers, and Thursday I streamed GTA and Overwatch averaging 30 viewers. "Partners should be leading the pack in their genre, as a general rule. You don't have to be in the top 5 (though if you are, please reach out to us!), " Which I do achieve whenever I stream GTA, Overwatch, or street fighter. I feel like I honestly got denied because I don't have a face cam and I'm not the only one who thinks that. That's the only real reason I can think of. If that's true then that's completely unethical. I know that there are partner streamers that don't have a face cam, but I don't know any that have gotten partner within the past couple months that stream the games that I do like Fortnite for an example. Just because I don't have a face cam does not mean I am any less professional or don't plan on getting one. The main thing that truly disturbs me is that I HAVE TO WAIT 90 DAYS TO REAPPLY?!?! Especially during summertime which is the most important time for streamers?! This is my 3rd time applying and this is the only time where I felt the most confident about applying, and the most I ever had to wait to reapply was for 30 days so why 90 now?
I take streaming very seriously, I put nothing but love and time into my channel and I know other streamers do too! I feel like I am a joke, I'm not being taking seriously even those I overachieved the requirements, and that I'm wasting my time even writing this, but if I'm not I ask if a different reviewer takes another look at my VOD, and to change the partnership process! I still have some hope, and If anything good can come from this I suggest adding back the appeal process and adding a more comprehensive email as to why the streamer was denied to prevent these unpleasant experiences we have to go through. The generic email response you receive when you get denied needs to go away altogether, or at least for those who have applied multiple times. We deserve personalized feedback. I also recommend that followers can present a reference on why they think that streamer should be partnered when they apply for partnership.
The picture below shows VOD my analytics when streaming during the review, and streaming last month( mostly streamed GTA) and thank you to those who have taking the time out and reading this.

So with Season 2 now revealed and the new usage of sparks which only benefit partners, I was thinking about a system for non partnered streamers.

Basically people would use the skills as normal, but instead of a cash payout, non partnered streamers would get a % of the sparks spend from users into their own sparks account.

The reason behind the % instead of the full amount of sparks is because sparks now has a real life $ value.

As I've seen many point out, having sparks set on your Mixplay board or for people in general to use the new skill system in non partnered streams seems like throwing money out of the window since they'd go to no one and not supporting the streamer they choose to use their sparks on.

Hi,

Recently I was denied for partnership (and I am OK with it).

What I felt was a bit rough was the reason.

As I usually play Realm Royale or Paladins, the minimum required CCU for those games to be considered for partnership is 30+

I live in New Zealand (GMT +12/+13) when I start streaming at 9pm it is 4am EST and 8am GMT. 80% of Mixers viewer population is asleep or commuting to school/work where some are unable to view Mixer streams.

Considering I have peak at 70+ for Paladins and 40+ Realm for, I have been doing really well.

I am consistently in the top 5 of the Realm/Paladins category, and have been in the #1 spot frequently with less than the required average.

That said, there are partners streaming Realm/Paladins during this time who are not meeting 30+ CCV for the same reason.

I really think timezones (and similar considerations) need to be taken into consideration when reviewing partnership applications.

It's not an apples for apples comparison when you are being measured aginst streams that are streaming these games during Mixer "prime time" when the majority of viewers are consuming the site.

Thoughts?

In light of the new Mixer season 2 ive noticed non-partners feeling out of the loop with benefits of sparks being used in their channel. Ive got a great idea to alleviate that issue and also a cool raid/host idea!

Most non-partners warn their viewers telling them not to use their sparks in their channel as it is of no benefit to anyone and they simply disappear once they are used. That being said, to bring the value of getting sparks used in non-partners channels instead if evaporating into the abyss they should be deposited into the streamers own spark count. Seems simple enough right? Looking into the long term for this idea you get good & bad.

Good:
-Non-partners feel a meaning for sparks
-Incentivizes streamers to network and use their sparks in other channels
-Encourages viewers to use sparks anywhere
-Non-Partner community engagment increases leading to new streamers and new communities

Bad:
-Sparks no longer disappear = higher mixer payouts to partners. This could get out of hand with bots and other forms of spark farming.

Host/Raid

Would love to see a host or raid spark option! The idea is when you go to host another streamer that it gives the option in the host drop-down menu to spark host or spark raid. This triggers an event when you host the streamer similar to the beach ball. The idea is that the event or overlay will pop up and face off the chats vs one another in a raid/defend senario. Chatters can then use their sparks to defend or raid the hosted stremer. Similar to a tug of war contest where sparks are the pulling of the rope. At the end of the event all the sparks used will be given to the stremer in which chat voted for either the hosted streamer or the raided streamer as a form of a prize. Just another way to boost a fun community vs community activity.

Hello Mixer and community, I was a little upset with the new Mixer requirement that got released. I have been streaming for almost 2 years and with 11,800 follows and really wanted to be part of the Mixer Partnership Program. So, the new requirement is saying I have to be eight-teen and that will take 5 more years until I can be a partner. Also, I am upset since I feel like I am missing out on all the new things and just not special or good to be a broadcaster. It also took Mixer 17 days for a response for my application to be reviewed and nothing about my review process. Please remove this requirement. Thanks, Owen

The new Season 2 update allows for Mixer partners to be payed out for sparks spent on Skills and MixPlay on their channels, essentially turning sparks into a real money currency.

As a non partnered streamer on Mixer who focuses heavily on my MixPlay board, I now feel guilty about having my buttons cost sparks since it will essentially be like throwing money away.

There should be a feature where starting from the launch of Season 2, any sparks spent on non partnered streams are "banked" and if/when the streamer gets partnered, they would receive a payout based on how many sparks have been spent on their channel during that time.

Even if it's at a reduced rate compared to sparks being spent on current partners (ie: 100k sparks = $10 for current partners and 100k sparks = $5 upon reaching partnership)

This way it doesn't feel like burning money when spending sparks on non partnered channels.

Hello, I just want to make a simple suggestion.

The idea of sparks seems to me very good but it saturates the chat a lot and makes everything go with a lot of lag. I do not suggest that you remove it but it would be good if you put a separate chat like the double chat of when the channel you are watching hosts someone. I do not know if I explain it but the idea is to be that, to do as a chat for sparks or some way that does not cause the direct to work badly.

Also people like moderators, can not control the chat because it is impossible to catch spam messages. I think the essence of Mixer was that people could talk quietly with streamers, but with this saturation of sparks is impossible. I do not know, I think you should take it into account because the idea is fine but it is causing quite a lot of problems in different streamings.

Ukraine has a ~40M population, of which, according to the last census, 67,5% consider Ukrainian their mother tongue.

Ukraine has a vibrant gaming community. Ukrainian eSports teams (go NaVi!) are some of the most successful and competitive in the world.

Valve added Ukrainian language option to Steam in 2013 and since then the number of Ukrainian Steam players (and Steam games that have a Ukrainian localization) has been steadily increasing. According to SteamSpy, as of June 2016 there were 3.7M Ukrainian players in Steam. (source: http://steamspy.com/country/UA )

Given the above mentioned arguments, we, the Ukrainian gaming community, ask of you Mixer & Microsoft to add Ukrainian as one of the official languages in Mixer and allow Ukrainian language to be an official broadcasting language.

With kind regards,
Ukrainian gaming community
