Can you become a Twitch affiliate without generating income?

I'm currently streaming out of boredom and today I qualified for the affiliate program. I really want to sign up for the affiliate program because there are channel points and so on. The problem is that you have to register a tax ID and a small business. But I don't want to generate any income, I just want to have these advantages. Is it possible?

No you can't. As an affiliate, advertisements are automatically placed and thus you earn money. This also allows people to subscribe to your channel and you can hardly tell them not to do it.

OK thank you.
