Twitch Partner (Day 3234 - 10/2/18)

After hitting Twitch Affiliate not too long ago, Stephen and Mal have finally earned Twitch Partner status for Breakfast Stream! While they have chips with the stuffed pepper dip, Stephen explains how this happened and what this entails. Chaz had urged Stephen to apply for Twitch partnership manually, since the listed requirements are taken more as suggestions. Twitch approved their application last Friday, but today was the first day he and Mal could stream as Twitch partners.

While Chaz said that having a large YouTube presence will be a good enough reason to get manually approved, Stephen doesn't think this is the case. He thinks this because he applied for Twitch partnership a few years ago, but was denied. Therefore, Stephen thinks his Twitch channel got partnership because he started to do Breakfast Stream.

What this means for viewers is that viewers can watch Breakfast Stream in lower quality in case their Internet isn't the strongest. In addition, they now have more emote slots to fill. As such, Stephen and Mal are now taking suggestions on what emotes to add. Lastly, they can now accept Twitch subscriptions, so viewers can watch their streams ad-free.

Stephen ends the vlog in the office by sharing two things: first, that he's read the comments of the hitchhiking vlog. He's blown away by the interesting stories people have shared about hitchhiking. Second, that he and Mal are leaving for Denver tomorrow, and they'll try to do Breakfast Stream as normal.
