Twitch Followed Channels Revised

I made a spreadsheet and scored my 20 followed channels rated on

  • Chess site: +2 chess.com, 0 doesn't really play chess, -1 other sites
  • Home location: +2 North America, 0 Europe, -1 about 12 hours timezone difference
  • Female: # women in channel
  • Badge: +3 if I have an emote, +2 if I'm VIP, +1 if I'm mod (only one counts)
  • Partner: +2 if channel is Twitch Partner, +1 if Affiliate

After scoring it was easier to see groupings and I dropped the lowest 8 scoring channels. Then I looked at the remainders and dropped two channels I'd be ok with not watching much. That left 10 channels which I then split into two groups, not necessarily by score.

Group A

  • AnnaCramling
  • BotezLive
  • JoeBruin
  • Neeko
  • PhotoChess

Group B

  • AkaNemsko
  • AnnaMaja
  • HashtagChess
  • HelmsKnight
  • Zefcatt

For budgeting Group A gets 10 subs a month each, Group B gets 5. That saves me 25 subs ($125). If I halve my Other contribution that saves me another 25 subs ($125). This reduces Twitch spend from $1000 to $750 per month. Not a huge amount but at least an attempt to get spending out of the red.
