If you’re an avid Twitch user, you might have heard of founder badges. But what are they, and how do they work? In this post, we’ll dive deeper into the world of founder badges and how you can check if you have one.
Founder badges are badges given to the first 10 subscribers of a Twitch channel. If you’re a Twitch affiliate, you can get founder badges when you reach 10 subscribers. If you’re a Twitch partner, you can get up to 25 founder badges. These badges are a way to recognize and reward the first subscribers of a channel.
So, how can you check if you have a founder badge? The easiest way is to go to the channel’s page and see if they have a badge next to their name. If they do, they are one of the first subscribers of that channel. If you’re a Twitch affiliate or partner, you can also check how many founder badges you have in your account settings.
But what if you want to get a founder badge for yourself? The easiest way is to subscribe to a Twitch channel that just got affiliated and has less than 10 subscribers. By subscribing, you become one of the first 10 subscribers, and you’ll get a founder badge. However, if you gift a subscription to someone else, you won’t get a founder badge.
It’s important to note that founder badges are not permanent. If you get banned from Twitch or the broadcaster gets banned, you’ll lose your founder badge. However, if you resubscribe to the channel, you’ll get your founder badge back.
If you have a founder badge and want to change it to a regular badge, you can do so in your account settings. However, this will change the badge for all the channels you subscribe to, not just the one channel you want to change it for.
In conclusion, founder badges are a way to recognize the first subscribers of a Twitch channel. If you want to check if you have a founder badge, simply check the channel’s page or your account settings. And if you want to get a founder badge for yourself, subscribe to a new Twitch channel and become one of the first 10 subscribers. Happy streaming!
