Cons of Affiliate Membership
Being a Twitch Affiliate currently only has one significant drawback: by signing the Twitch Affiliate Agreement, you consent to an exclusivity agreement. You cannot stream to other significant streaming services like Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube, or Trovo as a result. This also holds true for any video material you create using your streams; for instance, you must wait at least 24 hours before sharing any recorded streams on YouTube or other websites.
