Follow for follow is the reason people don't grow, it's just one more thing making things harder on themselves. Doing this you can easily reach 50 followers, and would just have to open a few instances on Twitch (getting a friend to help you, opening your stream on your phone, whatever), you'd easily reach the average of 3 viewers per stream. And then, what? Who's gonna watch you, if all you did was try to bypass the system to get a title? Why would a new viewer have any reason to use the monetization features that you just unlocked, if you just spent your time grinding the required hours to reach this "goal"? Being affiliate doesn't even help you get more visibility on Twitch, neither it's good enough to brag about it, if you wanna take an easy way there. Also, the platform doesn't care about you, new streamer, affiliate or partner - you should define your own labels and goals, not the platform. Instead, I'd highly recommend that a new streamer spent their time doing research on how to improve your content, and how to better deliver it. If you can't produce quality content, then reaching any of the platform's goals would be pointless.
