Dear Twitch creators ‼️ I really hope you help share/upvote this idea! I have friends who cannot become Twitch affiliates even when they reach higher viewership threshold than 'Affiliate' requirement due to their disabilities, but I don't think this should limit (1/5) 🧵 - ThreadSky

them from having access to certain Twitch features -albeit limited access. I know many disabled content creators who work so so hard to bring joy to others, yet to a lot of viewers, their channels are seen as less "valid" just because they cant apply (2/5)

for affiliate status due to life circumstances, despite meeting requirements. I'm aware that alternatives exists for channel points & emotes - but why not something built into the platform? what can be done to better support disabled content creators & make them feel more (3/5)

valued, included and enabled to create even more? Why do they have to go the extra steps to make things work when life is already hard enough? Even if it works in different ways, or is more limited than Affiliates - a way to validate their hard work would mean so much; (4/5)

and I'm sure all the great minds in the community can come up with ideas on how best to set something like this up. I just hope Twitch can show that it cares, in one way or another.

Just cast my vote. Much obliged for bringing awareness to this campaign. Hope it goes somewhere.

I love what you're trying to do in support of other disabled persons💖

When Dee was fighting for affiliate, I used ! Commands for redeems via mixitup bot which is free!
I let the audience play sounds & make things pop up on stream!

Just an alternative if they don't hear you out 💖

Thank you Dee! Yeah they’re using all the alternative options and thank god there are free ones to help!

I feel like it’d be so nice for those who cant accept affiliate to be “validated” in another sense without impacting their livelihoods 3;

I absolutely love this idea 😭🥹 as someone disabled I’m still doing my best to figure out my responsibilities and my rights and it’s so much worry about losing your status or your income 🥹

sagikiihori.bsky.social•115 days ago

It doesnt seem like its that clear, and also things seem way more difficult for you guys when they’re not supposed to be 3;
