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.

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

I have read a lot of post in regards to the new Mixer Partnership requirements and frankly I would like to put out into air how i view from it.

I have been on Mixer for 1+ years and I have reached 1k followers and I think its wonderful. but to be able to reach the next level within this platform seem to be alittle high. Its all good that Mixer decided to change the requirements but i think it was too soon. Here is why i think that.

There are a lot of content creators on here that are awesomely talented and are doing amazing work. But some are at that pinnacle where they are able to reach the next level. For example Twitch has the affiliate program associate to Amazon. Well in my eye Mixer could have the same behind Microsoft. There needs to be a level of transition such as Mixer affiliate > Junior Partner> Full Partnership.

if the Full partnership gain subs at 5.99 a pop, make it to where the Jr partners get half and Affiliates can still receive subs at a different percentile. I believe that a lot of those who have been turned away from partnership deserve something for the hard work and time they put in to making Mixer what it is. I have applied 2 times and the main thing i am seeing is the same general statement. "Apply when youre ready" How would I know if Im ready when you haven't told me what to improve on? Im just saying

In these levels of movement with Mixer for those who make it to Mixer Affiliate or Junior Partner are able to be mentored and shown areas of improvement and etc.

I am a variety streamer and I put in a lot of work, and I can not attempt to try to play Fortnite that is technically #1 on the platform and everyone who is partnered absorb the community there. I play Destiny 2 and a lot of other titles and the quality of my content is on point. But to receive 50 concurrent to some is nearly impossible .

Im not looking for Partnership as a monetary gain or anything but a business between my brand and this platform. and a lot of times to me a copy and paste answer isn't enough.

Hopefully my feedback reaches those who feel the same and also reaches those at Mixer.

Thank you

hello mixer i was just wondering why you brought the partner ship program from 750+ followers to 2k followers
i spent most of my summer streaming just to get to 750 then you bring it up my opinion may not matter but other mixer streamers are aswell angry about that decision cause we cant use our sparks till 2k and by that time we'll have alot more sparks than we have now. couldnt you have brought it up to 1k because most smaller streamers are switching to twitch because of what you've done i'm not but others are i'm giving you a little heads up because the community is getting pretty mad.
We Out here xD
Best Of Luck

Having an affiliate system like Twitch now has would allow Mixer to grow as a website, first off, the ability to allow people to subscribe to their favourite streamer (once they have met the required amount of follows/views to become an affiliate) would help both smaller streamers and Mixer itself, as Mixer would be able to take a fraction of the money (just like how its done with partners).

Secondly, allowing affiliates will promote the use of advertisements on channels prior to viewing the stream, running an advertisement where the money made from the advertisement is split between Mixer and the streamer, would allow Mixer to generate more income to then further the site and allow it to evolve and grow, and it would also assist the streamer financially.

The use of an affiliate system will also help streamers that are often overshadowed by the larger streamers to be noticed, as we can all agree, there are some excellent streamers who cannot quite get the same level of publicity as the larger partnered streamers. A sub section similar to up and coming could showcase these affiliates to give them more publicity.

I can see an issue arising between partners and affiliates if the idea was to be adopted, but the difference between the affiliates and the partners is that the partners would have more bonuses, such as a larger amount of submitted emotes to be used on their channel, etc.
