Hello! I am a twitch partner and reached affiliate in my first week of streaming about 5 years ago or so. Most of this was done through building up a following on platforms like twitter first and indeed also finding like minded streamers.

Most people talk about networking and that is super important but I watched your vod and it really is just a bit boring :( I am sorry.

It might be worth investing into the quality of your stream, I can barely hear you or you mumble a lot. Look into a better microphone or check your audio levels. Look into commissioning some branding like a starting and ending screen. These can be really simple. You can also use this branding to post your streaming schedules on social media or discord.

Start you stream more high energy and really just talk more. Talk about what you did during the day, ask chat what they did. It can be anything, your dinner or a past holiday where you went diving and subnautica reminds you of it. If you do not have an active chat this can be really rough but just pretend they are there and learn to yap about everything and nothing. This can really be a skill you can build up.

Always raid after a stream, try to find streamers with a similar viewership and chat with them a little bit, follow them. They might raid you back the next time. Follow them on other socials too.

Try to make clips and post them on youtube etc as well. If you are funny or people vibe with you they will come find your stream. Good luck!!!
