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

There HAS to be an Affiliate program.

Twitch has proven by adding an affiliate program that both they and their streamers make more of an income. The biggest negative feedback to the affiliate program was by the Twitch Partners who felt that this detracted form their possible sub's. There is no evidence of this as all streamers have variation in sub's and that can not be tied directly together.

Affiliates would get the ability to receive "Embers", a Sub button, a generic contact for mixer support, and a little bit of advertisement form Mixer would hurt. (ex. Channel two which showcases one affiliate a day and does not provide an increase in sparks like channel one.)

Partners would still have a personal contact at Mixer, still get all of the same current benefits like the ability to make money from advertisements, game/features purchased through their channel, sparks and everything else they already have.

This would allow smaller streamers to still make advancements as streamers and also increase income to Mixer. As an example without a feature or Channel one which is filled with lurkers farming Sparks almost ALL partners average 15-30 concurrent viewers throughout their stream.. This means they average (12K-25K followers) less than 1% concurrent viewers without the help of mixer. Where as non partnered streamers below 2k generally average the same if not a higher percentage. there is no fiscal reason as to why Affiliate would be a bad program to introduce. The only down side will be how partners feel about it and if Partners disagree with the program not only has Twitch shown it doesn't affect their partners, but it would also show that Mixer partners really don't care about growth of the community, but only of their channel.

Right now the 750 followers and 50 consistent viewers requirements for partner seem rather high. The viewer count mostly.

Most streamers need around 5000 followers to manage 50 consistent viewers or roughly 1% the follower count.

Someone with 750 followers is likely to average 7-8 viewers.

There are of course exceptions to these rules.

I feel like this will deter people from picking Mixer as their platform because a lot of that is out of the content creators hands. Where as the other two big plat forms put more power into the content creators hands to get affiliated or partnered.

Youtube uses 1000 followers and 4000 hours watched. (easily attainable with 10 viewers over a year stick to that same 1% ratio)
And Twitch uses 50 followers and merely a few unique streams a month for about 8 hours total.

I am more interested in Mixer than those other two platforms and have been researching the big three for a place to start streaming myself. I'm just giving my opinion but that's just my observation from a fair bit of research I did.

I believe I have been reviewed unfairly and the decision to decline my application is not justified. In less than 3 months I have nearly 5500 followers. I average over 50 viewers each time I stream. My channel is positive, lively. I engage with every single person that talks in my chat. I am completely professional. I take streaming very seriously. I have everything set up completely professionally. Much time and effort is put in to my channel each day. I am funny, engaging, good at the games I play and most of all my audience enjoys watching me, which is why I have large numbers watching and following every time I steam. I have had professional overlays, logos, merchandise designed. I stream regularly and keep to my schedule. I have currency and games to keep the viewers entertained. Many of my followers ask when they can subscribe to me. I have everything Mixer asks of a partner. I am completely baffled to why I have been declined. If I am unliked as a person, or by the way I look by someone at Mixer, that is horrendously unfair to me. I ask that you please take another look at my channel, with some different eyes. You will see that my channel is hugely popular and I am someone that will bring a lot of business to Mixer. The explanation for the decline is not clear and I would at the very least, I would like someone to explain the reason for it. If there is no chance I will ever get partnered. I need to know if I am wasting my time using Mixer. ? See the email as follows:

Hello

Thanks for your patience. We have carefully reviewed your channel and will not be moving forward with your application at this time.

We have issued a decline for the following reasons to help you identify what to improve before your next application. Note that while we recommend working on the qualities detailed below, we cannot guarantee partnership should you apply again for the following reasons:

There may be other aspects of your channel that we did not catch in this review period that would further disqualify you from partnership.

Our requirements for partnership change periodically based on the needs of the business. These changes will be updated on our website.

You will understand that the above email does not explain why I was declined. I need to know what you think I am doing wrong?
Thank you and kind regards,

Dear Mixer, Mixer, since inception, has been built on diversity, kindness and a general feeling of acceptance and equality. The recently instated partnership requirement, of "Age Of Majority", unlike nearly all other requirements, has not been fully explained to the community. Ever since the requirement appeared, there has been a serious uncertainty surrounding my channel and my willingness to continue streaming on the platform. This requirement, I believe is hindering many content creators who have not yet attained the age of eighteen. Further, it does not support the core values upon which Mixer has been built, and bars those under eighteen from the opportunity to become a partner. With all due respect, please provide the Mixer community with the rationale behind this new requirement so that many Mixer content creators can continue to bring unique content and positive energy to the brand. Thank you for your consideration.

This is an UPDATED VERSION of my first complaint. Hello Mixer, and community there has been a new requirement to do with age on being a Mixer Partner. I wanted to argue that this requirement should be removed for varies of reasons. One, I feel a little left out myself with the new spark system being released and of having my very own sub button. I believe minors should have the right to apply for a partnership. Instead of being the age of majority of your region and territory. If you feel like minors like me should be able to apply for a partnership with Mixer give this a Vote! Also, Mixer please tweak or remove this requirement. Thanks, Owen

Since mixer has a far smaller view base the partnership program doesn’t really encourage progression since it’s far to hard to reach the minimum requirements when only a few people can manage them day to day. Would it be possible to lower the requirements or possible have a affiliation program as a stepping stone. I really hate to see potential streamers leave the site for twitchs program. I myself, would have already almost pasted twitch’s affiliate program had my analytics been on twitch instead of mixer. The mixer program could be something like around 100 followers and around 10 viewers with 20 hours or more streamed. Something like this could encourage a whole new generation of streamers to begin on Xbox. For the current state of mixer the requirements are just unattainable, especially the concurrent viewers. For a platform like twitch many people have more than 50 viewers but for mixer only the top 40 or so on the platform can manage. Pls consider this proposal for the future of the community
