Twitch Affiliate Controversy

The Monstercat addressed the confusion about their “Monstercat Gold” program. The streaming world was upset when Monstercat proposed that the streamers should buy the affiliated status through an advertising launch.

The organization stated that it did not attempt to encourage streamers to conclude that they might secure their Affiliation status. For clarification, Monstercat confirmed that they will reveal the resources that affect the entire Affiliate and Partner community at the right time.

A lot of people were still wondering why someone would have to pay for the “Monstercat Gold” program rather than just applying for Twitch for free. Some noticed that the Associate criteria are very minimal, and that they are allowing for any slightly suspicious replacement compensation. This misunderstanding caused more influential Twitch team members to call on Monstercat to address the dispute.

Also, the Twitch news commentator Zach Bussey said that Monstercat is lying because the followed-up tweet that Monstercat made him more confused because it seems like the streamers might pay to become an Affiliate on Twitch initially.

In the end, Monstercat does not have a choice. After a while, they gave a statement saying that all the unhappy members of Monstercat Gold could apply for a refund.
