Hi im Equinox1de,
Ive been a long time Diablo supporter and player since Diablo 3. I have been playing Diablo IV since Beta and have easily over 3000 hours logged between all 10 seasons + Eternal league. Im a content creator that spends hundreds of hours making content on Twitch, posting mobalytics / maxroll builds and constantly carrying the player base through content each season. However, as much as I contribute and as much time and effort I put in, I never hear a peep from staff or the dev team on potentially being welcomed into the partner program. I have players and streamers alike constantly questioning why I haven’t been selected after all my invested time and I’ve tried to be patient until now.
I know there are a lot of other content creators such as myself who are eager and waiting for their shot to be apart of an amazing partnership with you guys and I know while writing this that I’m not alone.
Sadly since there is no available outlets for applying to this program, all we can do is wait and hope we get emailed at some point.
Please consider reaching out to us content creators giving our all on the streaming platforms. Especially during these slow times when everyone seems to be leaving to play other franchises.
Thank you, and much respect!

I have been following this streamer for a long time. He does great things for the community. I hope this post gets some attention. Would be great!
I’m a long time supporter of this streamer I believe he deserves partner more than most I’ve seen. I’ve learned so much from this creator and he actually interacts with his community
You are degrading yourself over blizzard and their crappy product.
Unless you are ready to become liar on their behalf (hyping up seasons and glorifying everything they say on twitter ) you are better off on your own.
Blizzard stopped caring about people who put food on their table , more than decade ago.

I respect your opinion, however I dont support that reasoning. Blizzard does care about their player base and I believe you do as well, otherwise you wouldn’t still be on the forums right? I don’t have any intentions of lying to anyone, and I don’t believe blizzard does either. We can all dream and have big ambitions, and sometimes our ambitions are too big to fill. This is probably why some players think everything is a lie. Ideas are easier said than done, but as long as the ideas still live, so do the possibilities.
How many followers do you got on your streams? Is fine to be a content creator, but if you are averaging 10 people watching you, then its kind of irrelevant. Same if you post builds on Maxroll: its one thing to post a build, but its another for people to either find it fun and/or effective.
Also, kind of weird that two accounts with basically no post history pop up to support you in the forum. I get that you can ask followers to come support you, its just a little sus.

It is Sus, however please be aware…
The people who frequent the forums come in a variety of…….. “Sizes” (personalities). I dare say most WILL BE Negative towards you (as you can already tell)…it’s just the nature of the people here.
Thinking about it, I don’t want to knock down anybody who’s trying to get a leg up in trying to achieve an objective such as yours, so I wish you luck. I’m not sure if this is the right place for it though.
IMO, I think the best thing for you is to continue gaining followers, and gain a lot of popularity, up to the level of RYKER I suppose then Blizzard may look your way, I don’t know….. I don’t know how it all works but it starts with Y O U .
Now, does anybody have a crash test dummy outfit, I think the OP is gonna need it for the hate he’s gonna get when people read this topic (for better or for worst)….

Yeah, all White Knights and Shillers have to hide their glorified Blizzard clothing underneath dirty rags and trash bags so we can talk about the game we “love” on here.
I dont see why any of that is relevant, but if you must know. I have 12k followers, been streaming 8 years, and average around 50 viewership most of the time. Right now is different since the season is dying down, im averaging in the 30s and still on the top of the twitch page.
It didn’t take long for the first mouth breather to respond here.

Relevant to the extent of the grand picture of ““how many D4 content creators are there?”. I wouldnt have the first clue because I dont watch video game streamers at all, but I would imagine if you arent boasting numbers comparable to the top 20 streamers (or making build guides used by a lot of the D4 population), then your visibility is pretty low.
Good luck with getting what you are seeking, buti would imagine overall popularity is why many creators get recognition

Starless isn’t being disparaging. He likes D4. i get how in context it doesn’t seem that way. Also, even if we like the game, we can be critical of its shortcomings.

They honestly don’t. At least those at Blizzard who have any say in the matter.
You are simply something for the corporate types to squeeze until there isn’t anything left to squeeze anymore. If this wasn’t true then the game would attempt to be fun and terrible transmogs wouldn’t cost $30.
The forums are the community side of Diablo, that’s why you don’t see Blizzard having much presence around here, if at all. Same goes for anything marketing related which includes the #diablopartner program.
Most of the community rightfully hates anything #diablopartner related because it’s not about the community or a part of it, period. It’s a malignant tool for Blizzard to market their product.
You won’t find any support around here I’m afraid.

I will never give into the darkside and follow you! NEVER!
I looked at your twitch channel which you did not list in the OP.
It isn’t relative to us….but Blizzard does use following size to determine partners to some degree.
I have seen other threads requesting this…have you tried reaching out to them directly?
Using the Contact US link at the bottom, Press and Media option, then the next tab PR contacts, there is pr@ address listed there.
Otherwise I think you need to wait for a community manager to respond. Everyone else is well….every one else…don’t be surprised if they are negative. 
Good luck to you.

If you have 12k followers and have been doing this for 8 years, and they haven’t reached out, it’s probably not happening.
Do you do anything else Diablo related? Guides, deep dives into lore, going over PTR/Patch Notes, reveals, dev streams?
Or do you just play the game for maybe 50 people?
If that’s all you do, it ain’t happening chief.
