Brigading is quite explicitly against Twitch's ToS.

I'm looking through the ToS and I don't see anything against it. If you know the section that mentions it could you please point me to it? Also I see streamers toss to other streamers at the end of their broadcasts all the time with similar effect.

Plus the whole reason I did this is because I think there needs to be a way to introduce viewers to these streamers that go unnoticed. I think the effect of this is wholly positive.

"Raid" has the implication of harassment, which is against rule 13.i. I recall one streamer getting into trouble for telling users to raid a competitor's stream.

The beneficial aspect of the raid isn't immediately clear.

It wasn't meant to imply harassment. A stream raid is just what they call it when one streamer tosses to another at the end of their broadcast.
