Giggled at those opposed to affiliates on Twitch. "Those small streamers will take our revenue!". Mate, if you're having your ass handed to you by a guy or gal who was so small he couldn't even get a Twitch partnership then you might not be cut out for this business. So protective of their little kingdom of dirt. A rubbish pile isn't a castle just because you planted your flag on it. If you're actually worried that an up and comer is going to steal your thunder, git gud. If you want the gates closed to keep out potential competition, I got no sympathy for ya. We've been dealing with the idea that anyone with a pulse can get partnered with YouTube for years now and the solution to that was not to whine about it it was to put out better content than they are. If they take your revenue, you didn't deserve it to begin with, you were just temporarily holding a position in an unsaturated market that you wouldn't have had were it open to everyone. Get your act together and start proving that you're one of the privileged few who gets to make a living playing videogames. Everyone wants your spot, prove you deserve to keep it.
