Please dear god don't add this to the website or at the very least make it so we have the option to see it. It is completely unnecessary for me as twitch viewer and it adds bloat to an already bloated webpage in the following page. Until then I'm blocking the webpage element using my adblocker and I will encourage anyone who agrees with me to do the same.

It is taking the main highlight of the page away from live channels which should always be more important.

Nothing should take progression/visual priority over Live Channels in a user's "Following" content. Which channels are currently live, from a usability standpoint, is the most sought after information when using this page. At the very least, please reprioritize "Starting Soon" below Live Channels. Ideally, we should have the choice to disable "Starting Soon" content or, better yet, the ability to drag-and-sort the content rows of our Following page to our liking.

There is no way you can make this the first thing to see and the live channels should always be first if you want you can even just put it behind the live channels, make it an option whether in the live area or in settings.

I've just had a quick look at the new feature and think it would be better if they were in order of how active you have been in those communities in the prior 30 days.

It makes it easier to see them the viewers and the content creator they enjoy is right in their face which also helps him.
