Partner explodes at Twitch after followers drop, channel banned live Twitch partner \u2018Boneclinks\u2019 has gone off at the streaming platform after he watched his follower count drop from 80,000 to zero live, getting banned shortly after going offline. Getting Twitch Partnership is a big deal in the streaming community. It comes with a larger cut of subscriber fees, more promotion and support from the popular platform, and exclusive deals and invites to events. However, one Twitch partner has told Dexerto that he didn\u2019t get the same experience as others in the field, and wants Twitch to change their attitude towards smaller streamers after being banned live on stream. Boneclinks is a reaction-based Just Chatting streamer who garnered a following of around 80,000 people, with around 300 people tuning into his stream on a regular basis. But in a lengthy rant on a November 5 broadcast, he highlighted the fact that his following was on a rapid decline, slowly losing his temper as his follower count dropped to zero. Twitch wasn\u2019t giving him any answers, and he was fed up. \u201cWhat\u2019s the f***ing benefit of being a f***ing partner \u2013 it\u2019s the same s*** as being an affiliate these days,\u201d he said. \u201cI can\u2019t even get someone to talk to me.\u201d Because his livelihood is built off his stream on the platform, losing valuable days of streaming time means less income and less stability, and he\u2019s looking for answers. \u201cI want to f***ing know what\u2019s going on,\u201d he said. \u201cTwo days \u2013 I\u2019ve already had my whole stream f***ed dude. I\u2019ve had no followers, no one get notifications, I can\u2019t do s*** on here, and for two days, you\u2019ve f***ed up my income and no one is talking to me. \u201cYou\u2019re telling me that I need to be exclusive to you in a contract as a partner, yet you will f*** up my s*** for two whole days and then \u2013 boop \u2013 f*** it.\u201d :x: Twitch Partner “”Boneclinks”” has been banned! :x:https:\/\/t.co\/BNPV6hM2PX#twitch #ban #partner #twitchpartner :police_officer:\u2640\ufe0f \u2014 Twitch Partner Bans (@TwitchBanned) November 6, 2019 Dexerto reached out to Boneclinks, who said he followed all the right avenues to understand why his channel\u2019s stats were declining, but is yet to receive a reply 48 hours on. \u201cI reached out to partner help via email,\u201d he said. \u201cI used to go to my partner rep but mine was removed \u2013 I was told that I didn\u2019t require one for some reason. They haven\u2019t responded to me yet.\u201d Boneclinks was sent multiple clips of his stream as part of the reasoning behind his ban, but believes that he has been targeted specifically. \u201cI believe that I am the victim of DMCA takedown harassment,\u201d he said. \u201cThe clips and videos in question did not contain any instance of \u201cAfrica (the popular song by Toto) or Ghostbusters\u201d which was what the claim stated.\u201d DMCA bans usually last for 24 hours, so it won\u2019t be long until he\u2019s back on the platform. As for his future as a streamer though, he will wait out the storm and hopefully hear back from Twitch to clear things up. \u201cI\u2019m always going to be a streamer,\u201d he said. \u201cI just wish that Twitch treated its smaller partners with the same respect as larger ones.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s really disheartening to be locked into an exclusivity contract with a company that doesn\u2019t even consider you important enough to respond to.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
