Suggested streams not only by highest viewer count
The browsing itself is great, I like that we can browse separate subcategories (for example in Gaming) like Shooter, Action & Adventure, Role Playing etc but it would be great if the shown streams weren't all the highest viewer counts. Yeah it increases the discoverability but only if you're in the top 5-10.
Maybe there is a way to display random streams from that category/subcategory? A mix of different channels would be great so streamers with lower view counts don't disappear. Especially because expanding the subcategory only gives you a few more streams, not all of them. Normally we can sort by highest to lowest, lowest to highest or recently started; would be great to see something similar. Letting us filter by tags would be great, too.

Pls revert my follower list back to streamers being listed by viewer amount or add a way to change it and stop forcing people into experiments without their knowledge thx. (one of the most dogsh*t ways to sort followed list)

Can't find neither big/mid/or small streamers efficiently anymore. Probably wasted more then an hour of my time since it was implemented, searching for Streamers I was able to find before (by just approximately knowing how many views they usually get) in mere second.
Please revert this as soon as possible.
Edit: I'd also appreciate a button where I can give a thumbs down on Ideas. This one deserves it.

I'm having a super hard time finding the streamers i use to watch due the confusion on the tab, and most of them are super small streamer (20-50) viewers which is the opposite of what you're trying to make... Like all the other on this thread i was not asked to be part of this test and we can't even turn it off/ask to be removed. Please revert those changes on our accounts.

This is the worst idea I can imagine...so Twitch does it to my account without my consent, sends me to this forum that I completly don't care about (because it's useless), then proceeds to ignore my support ticket. Shutting down my account is the right answer to this?

They started this experiment without my consent on my account. All my follower list are totally mixed now and it confuses me a lot.
Please TWITCH, don't do this. I like my list as it is. Or at least give us a sort option. -

Please revert this. Now all the streams are jumbled up and I have a hard time finding the streams. The default sort to viewer count is easier to navigate as I have a general idea of where I should scroll.

REVERT NOW!!! I NEVER ASKED TO BE APART OF THIS experiment. I hate having random views your site thinks i want to see at the top of my list. I miss live events which normally would be at the top of my viewer list and now have some little streamer showing up at the top and big streams lost randomly in the following order. To TOP it off you give us NO OPTIONS to change this condition.

Please revert! I like it when its in order from highest to lowest. The only thing you did right was keep greekgodx on bottom, I watch him the most but hes always at a low view count now a days but hes still at the bottom. It might be a bug because i think this new system was to help small streamers.

I HATE this idea (sorry). I tend to browse a huge variety of people and topics. An OPTION to "view by" and not being forced to have one or the other. The option to choose what order we view our followed list would be preferred.
