>Are there any prizes or perks for participating in MTN DEW RAID? >Definitely! Participating streamers will have the chance to be featured on the MTN DEW Gaming Twitch Channel, the MTN DEW RAID branded shelf on the Twitch home page, and the Twitch homepage hero carousel. Streamers will also have a chance to receive a 1:1 coaching session with a professional streamer/content creator If you volunteer to advertise their product, you have a chance to win exposure on mountain dew's twitch gaming channel, which nobody should care about. They're not even paying you. This is for people who sell out before they even see a dollar.

Since it seems like you don’t understand how streaming on twitch works, here’s the tl;dr. They’re paying you in exposure for giving them exposure. This is one of the few places where “for the exposure” is actually meaningful and not a meme. If you’re trying to get a channel off the ground as a career, this is not a terrible deal.

  The exposure is a chance at one of the 15 minute slots on Twitch homepage in exchange for up to 6 days of displaying a mtn dew logo on their stream (the longer it's displayed, the more chance they have at these limited slots) Even if a person does win a slot they'll have to be live to use it during the prize portion of the campaign. Factoring in timezones this brings the slots available down a fair bit unless the streamer decides to do a 36 hour stream. Even if they win one it'll bring concurrent viewers aye, but these are viewers that just happen to be visiting the homepage, not looking to watch streams from the carousel. They're mostly empty embedded views. Of the people looking at the homepage almost none of them will click through to the stream as they're doing something else like looking for their favourite streamer or en-route to their settings or something like that. Of those people that do click through, a lot of them are going to be trolls looking to wind streamers up or otherwise harass them. There may still be a handful of viewers left that do click through to the stream, who don't speedrun getting banned from the stream, who do watch the stream. Chances are though even those people will be leaving for the next thing to watch quickly unless the streamer has something super entertaining going on. In that very specific scenario, aye this might be an ok deal. For anyone else this is a tiny chance at 15 minutes of stress before dropping back to their usual view count. tl;dr nah it's pretty much the meme I'll happily eat my words if I turn out to be wrong. I should probably eat a hearty breakfast though.

  If entering to win into a contest that may maybe get you exposure on mountain dew's 15k subscriber channel is what you call "getting a channel off the ground" you've already lost. It's a terrible deal. If you feature brands on your channel get paid for it, or stop doing it. Doing it for a chance to win exposure on a 15k sub channel, none of whom are there to watch you because thats not why they subbed to it, is selling out for nothing. Less than nothing. A chance at nothing, with nothing guaranteed.

    You’re thinking about this backwards. These are streamers with nothing to offer trying to hit the virality lottery. 15k viewers is more than enough for that spark to catch. Also, if you sub to a brand channel finding small streamers is a big part of why. Would it be good to get paid for it? Sure. Can streamers with no audience demand payment? Of course not. Also, selling out isn’t a thing. It doesn’t exist. All streamers work with brands as that’s the core of the job. You’re arguing that streamers should throw away a free-to-them opportunity for your lofty ideals of How Things Should Be.

      15k is the total subs to mtn dew's channel, not viewers. And the promoted channel gets a small amount of promotion in exchange for a long time of product placement. Selling out is a thing. You put the value on your own product. If a week of advertising for them is valued at $0 and 15 minutes of promotion on a low view count channel, you've sold out for basically nothing. Streamers should not do things that immediately devalue their channel such that their promotion is worth $0. Literally giving away the value for a chance to win promotion. Its not a lofty ideal its setting your own value above $0.
