#2Not that I agree with this practice, but I've heard from people who stream on twitch that if you are streaming on their platform, you cannot stream to you-tube, d-live or other platforms and keep the affiliate/partner status which allows viewers to subscribe and donate via twitch currency to you.
You may stream to multiple platforms at once, however you lose your ability to be verified on twitch by being an affiliate/partner.
I see more and more of the large platforms taking this route and removing the verified/special perks for being on that particular platform if you are not keeping your content exclusive to them, in an attempt to keep the largest market share/content creators.
In the end I think this will only drive the more independent creators to adopt smaller and more open platforms and the big platforms that are left will be an echo chamber more than ever.

AFAIK this only applies to partners who sign a contract with Twitch, but I assume there's some wiggle room, like in the revenue sharing.
Affiliates are only forbidden from streaming on Twitch and other platforms simultaneously [0]

They are afraid of other platforms, because they know their business will take a serious hit if there's ever serious competition. The cut they take off of subscriptions and donations is absolutely shady and unjustifiable.
Add to that the long list of twitch "anti-features" and they're on a good course to become to Quora of streaming sites. Can't wait for just lurking to become "members only".
Twitch would die in a heartbeat if they allowed multi-streaming (streaming to multiple platforms at the same time).
Their product is too easily replicated and most people don't care about the platform - they follow their favorite content creators.

#6What I think is the problem is the terminology. 'Verified' makes it sound like there is some identity checking going on. It is nonsense to say that because someone is posting on 2 platforms, they suddenly aren't who they say they are. If you use the term 'affiliate' or 'partner' it is a different story. If you are posting on 2 or more platforms, it is logical for all involved platforms to not feel like partners anymore.

#7This “verified” nonsense is silly. Twitter knew who Assange was but refused to “verify” him.
They should change what they call verified to another label like “goodie two-shoes” instead. As it is is a complete misnomer. It’s basically used to get users to behave a certain way and if they don’t conform they don’t get verified or if they are verified it gets revoked.

"verified" means "good citizen of the platform"

When will Twitter re-open verifying? It's been closed for 2 years...

Alternatively “top revenue generator, except where we disagree with them, except when we make special exceptions”.
