Small Streamer Support
Twitch is increasingly seeing success in large, full-time partnered streamers who seem to be growing in mainstream recognition and opportunities, but what is or can Twitch do to help dedicated small streamers get visibility to avoid a YouTube-like situation where it's only for the celebrities.

Muitas pessoas se frustam por ficarem horas e horas fazendo live para não ter ninguém assistindo-os, acho que, seria muito interessante uma recomendação dos canais com menos publico.

Twitch needs to do whatever they can to promote smaller streamers more. PLEASE STOP PROMOTING BIG STREAMERS AND HELP SMALL STREAMERS. what if a person is starting on twitch as a career like Ninja or Tfue they would want to be promoted more so then they can get a bit more viewers and actually start a good career.

Making it so smaller streamers can have more of a spotlight, rather than larger streamers always being on the front page, mix it up and reward the people who are trying to put a foot in the huge door of twitch

Can you give me a dedicated button for recommendations as such, also give more recommendations (currently I have four streams recommended and one is just a weed growery live stream and I have no control over seeing more, reloading for other recommendations and it is on the home page, which once I start my day on Twitch, I never really click to anymore.)
I want to be able to browse recommended / random streams, in the past I have found some great streams that way.

Popular channels have large following that are emailed when they get online. I believe Twitch should recognize quality smaller channels to provide a better playground to encourage new creaters to STAY on Twitch and not go back to ... YT

Help smaller streamers! Each day feature 4 people! Up then at the top of the list of the game their playing! Each day pick 4 new different people! It will help a lot and it will encourage people to stream more! PLEASE READ THIS!!!

I have some ideas that could help out the small streamers!
1: Make a system where your channel gets ranked via percentage. It would take your viewer amount and compare it to your follower amount. This makes new streamers at the top of the list because they would have 0 videos with 0 followers. Plus botted accounts would not grow because there follower account may be high but they get low views.
2: Have an option to look at the small streamers when looking around in a game.
(To Twitch) 3: Twitch put the bigger streamers on the homepage.

I agree with Jonathan. But we all know nothing against girl streamers my gal streams but to the point we need to split the guy from the girl streamers I know it sounds off but if you think about it it's eight times harder for guys to get viewers over girls idk why but there's several things we could do better on for example make a choice of what language stream you want to watch an more support for are military that stream like a special day were you place all military vet and active on the top of the list just for folks to show more respect cuz any vet and active soldiers appreciate when someone in a very few say thank you for your service that makes any troop the happiest man or woman that people are thankful for those who are the true heroes so us civilian live free an are abil to do these things as of stream

This is a feature that I think is long overdue. As more and more creators come into the Twitch space I think there should be a way for small streamers to get noticed. Say you go to the browse tab and it lists the games. Inside each game has a split tab where it shows "non-partners" first and then "partnered". Reason for non-partnered first is to give them the first shot of exposure as those partnered don't really need it since they have the following to begin with.
On the home page you can still have the top 5 streams, but maybe mix it up. 4 days out of the week its partnered channels or big event channels doing their thing, but the other 3 days are promoting small channels. Now I am not about "giving me easy followers" because I don't like that, it sounds lazy. However, helping the community as a whole (big or small) is what I am about. Sure you can do raids, social media outreach, and look for channels your size to network that is all critical things to do, but to make Twitch the best platform vs many others and to change the way things are done I think the Twitch Team really helping all channels grow will be great. I am still going to do the Twitch grind regardless, but I think these ideas will be helpful in many ways.
