After 25 rejections, popular streamer Dantes has officially become a Twitch Partner. The achievement comes after years of consistent work and repeated attempts to join the platform’s partner program.

I’ve been thinking for hours about how I want to word this tweet.

I’m honestly too stunned to even think.

After 6 years of rejection and 25 denied attempts, I finally got accepted into the Twitch Partner Program on my 26th application.

For many viewers, Dantes’ story has become an example of persistence in the streaming world. His approval shows that platform recognition can be unpredictable, even for creators who already have a massive audience.
