I'm watching a couple of streamers right now participating in the 1.0 Streamer Weekend -- and some of them have less than 5,000 followers on Twitch, YT and other platforms combined. How come? Wasn't your first rule for the applications: have 5,000 or more followers, otherwise your application will be ignored...?! And throughout the application thread you made it very clear, that this is a rule you don't consider to change at all -- even the last posts on the application thread still mentions the hard limit of 5,000 followers as your main condition for applications.

Seeing streamers streaming 1.0 with less followers than I have (which is under 5,000 unfortunately) sucks, as I would have loved to apply for the streamer weekend as well. I'm happy for those who have somehow managed to be part of the Streamer Weekend without meeting your first rule obviously, please don't get me wrong on this. But realizing that you guys didn't stick to your own rules, and I probably should have just ignored your rules as well and should have applied makes me sad.

 
Being a Twitch Partner with less than 2,000 followers? 🤣

Although to become a Twitch Partner you don't have to have "X amount of followers", but to become "Partner eligible" (which doesn't automatically make you a Twitch Partner btw.) you must have been streaming at least 12 times per 30 days for 2+ months straight, and get at least 75 viewers on average per stream -- which I doubt is possible with just 2,000 followers. They're Twitch Affiliates at most (which I am as well), but not Twitch Partners, no.

I stand corrected: You're right, they're indeed a Twitch Partner. Thanks for pointing that out!

Do you have a YouTube channel? I'll watch that. I don't do anything with twitch

 
I will also note that some of the streamers may have qualified on one platform, and are also streaming on another.

That's very nice of you -- unfortunately I don't stream on Youtube (yet), only on Twitch. Haven't streamed in a while though, so this streamer weekend would have been a great opportunity for me to get back into streaming...

I did check Twitch (~2k followers) as well as Youtube (~500 followers), that's why I said the combined total followers are below the required 5,000 -- but I missed the fact that they were already a Twitch Partner and therefore the "5,000 followers" rule didn't apply. I'm still wondering how they managed to become a Twitch Partner within a few months with only having 2,000 followers, but that's off-topic I guess -- good for them though! 🙂
