YouTuber Pyrocynical slams Twitch for months of alleged silence amid Partnership blunder YouTube: Pyrocynical \/ TwitchYouTube star Niall \u2018Pyrocynical\u2019 Comas has lashed out at Twitch for the abrupt removal of his Partnership status, despite months of alleged silence from his local Partnerships team. Earning the label of Partner on Twitch is about more than just status. With Partnership comes more features for your channel, clearer paths of communication with Twitch staff, and often, a better split of subscription revenue. Thus, even popular social media celebs like Pyrocynical have ample reason to reach that level on the Amazon-owned platform. Having dedicated himself for over a year, applying for Partner four times along the way, he finally got that tick next to his name in 2022, though not through conventional means. Weeks later and not only has the Partnership now been revoked, but so too has Pyrocynical\u2019s Affiliate status, barring him from many standard features including a Subscription button on his channel. \u201cTwitch has essentially soft-banned me off the platform,\u201d he claimed during a May 30 explanation on YouTube. \u201cI have applied for Partner a lot,\u201d Pyrocynical explained in light of recent developments. Providing evidence of all communication with the EMEA Partnership team, the content creator revealed four instances where he applied throughout 2021. First in April, two times in September, and once more in November. All four times he seemingly met the requirements in terms of both viewership and hours streamed. \u201cI jumped through all the hoops and it wasn\u2019t good enough for [Twitch],\u201d he stressed. The final application is where the situation grew more complicated. Rather than denying his Partnership, his local Twitch representatives simply \u201cnever replied,\u201d Pyrocynical claimed. \u201cIt has been three months and not a single reply from Twitch.\u201d During this stretch, there\u2019s no way to \u201cretract the application,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou\u2019re essentially stuck in purgatory hoping someone at Twitch finds your application.\u201d As a result, Pyrocynical took matters into his own hands and hired a new management company to contact Twitch\u2019s North American Partnerships team instead. With their very first attempt, this agency secured Partnership status for his Twitch account. However, it didn\u2019t last long as the EMEA team soon caught wind. \u201cI got Partnered\u2026 for about two months, then they took it away again,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been de-Partnered, I\u2019m not even an Affiliate anymore, I have no Sub button.\u201d An email that arrived from the EMEA Twitch Partnerships team explained why this agreement was \u201cimmediately [terminated].\u201d \u201cYou did not employ appropriate conduct when, after your Partner Application was denied by Twitch\u2019s EMEA Partnerships team, you solicited Twitch\u2019s North America Partnership team to become a Twitch Partner,\u201d the email read. The key detail being that Pyrocynical supposedly failed to disclose the \u201cdenial of [his] application by the EMEA Partnership team.\u201d This miscommunication in light of months of inactivity from his local team, has now resulted in all Partner and Affiliate perks being stripped from his Twitch account. As for what comes next, Pyrocynical isn\u2019t all too certain. Though with his future on Twitch not seeming bright, he teased a potential move to rival platform YouTube Gaming. We\u2019ll have to see if Twitch looks to resolve this issue once and for all, or if Pyrocynical\u2019s channel remains without Partnership status indefinitely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
