There are Twitch affiliates and Twitch partners. Twitch partners are under contract, although you can still make decent money as an affiliate. Partnered streamers are the ones that have more restrictions as to where they can stream. Most of the streamers making the biggest amount of money are going to be partnered and attached to Twitch. I don't have a lot of advice on a new streaming platform. As a user, I like usernames, emotes, the ability to gift subscriptions, and no mid-roll ads. Any streaming platform that wants to take off also needs to have a built-in way to create a shareable "clip" from a live stream.
