I get no money from Twitch AT ALL, ever. Is that my end goal? no. Do I want to Twitch for a living, no. I'm a little more realistic.
Twitch Partnership is not something everyone just gets for streaming.
See:
http://www.twitch.tv/partner/signup
Certain metrics are required.
I stream because I am a very social person - maybe stop by sometime - check it out. It's a lot of fun. I am also very thankful to the people who do hang out.
I could simply just sit in EC tunnel and try to acquire more PP. I'm not that kind of person, anyone who has watched me play/twitch since I have started here can tell you that. I would rather just give some items away to the people I would like to call friends, who hang out, but I want to do it in a fun way. That's just me being me.
Edit - I'm talking low end items here 5k or less value.. High end items I will be Tunnelquesting my ass off =)
