1. Revert the web layout for the Browsing tab.

   This new layout is worse in every possible way for desktop users. When I'm on the Browsing page, I'm looking for a stream to watch. I don't need the first stream on the list shrinking the visibility of that list (because the layout is clearly intended for portrait format, not landscape) OR autoplaying and causing potential lag. I ALSO hate that you can no longer see tags without clicking. I only know English. It was hard enough searching through various asian-speaking-only streams to find the English speaking ones when the language tags were changed/ruined. Now I can't see those tags at all and there are 500 different "english" tags.

3. Have directories show all channels within them similar to browsing within Live Channels

   The browsing experience and channel visibility could be improved if the Browse page, instead of showing recommended channels, would show all the channels within a directory that we could filter dynamically by selecting single or multiple categories/tags.

   Directories, categories and tags are very useful in organizing channels but we need more browsing and filtration features which I'll be suggesting below. These changes could help the non-gaming channels a lot. Streamers may no longer be incentivized to use categories that don't match their content (e.g. Just Chatting) and may become more comfortable with using the proper categories. Viewers would be able to find content they want to watch a lot easier if the proper categories were used. This may also satisfy those who wish for the initial IRL category to return. That wouldn't be practical but an improved IRL directory would be a much better solution. I can think of a few other categories that could be added, but that's for a separate topic.

   When we go into Browse and click any of the directory banners (Games, IRL, Creative, etc.) we are shown several rows of recommended channels. This doesn't work for everybody. For anyone interested in discovering new channels or getting recommendations they have a dedicated page for that, which is the Main/Discover page.

   On the Main/Discover page, when clicking one of the directory banners it redirects to the recommended channels on the Browse page. These recommendations should only be part of the Main/Discover page.

   On the Browse page, when clicking one of the directory banners, instead of redirecting to the recommended channels, it should show all the live channels within that directory. When clicking one of the categories on the second row, it should filter the channels to that specific category.

   The row of categories needs to be sortable and scrollable vertically or horizontally but only show one row at a time. The first category card within this row needs to act like a reset button and be named something like All Categories. - These two features already exist within the Esports directory and just need to be implemented similarly in the rest of the directories. - In addition, we should be able to select multiple categories at the same time within this row, to allow us to widen or narrow the category filtration. So, if we click one category, the IRL directory should only show channels from within that category. If we click additional categories, then it should show all channels from all those categories. If we click an already selected category for a second time then it should deselect it and no longer show any channels within it.

   Below this row of categories, needs to be a row of clickable tags, just like there used to be in the Music directory before the introduction of the custom tags. These should be recently used tags or favorite tags that we can define ourselves. I do not recommend adding trending tags just to avoid the abuse of tag-stacking by streamers. We should be able to click several tags to narrow down the tag filtration, without widening like in the case of category filtration. The reason for this is that channels can only be in one category at a time but can have several tags assigned. So, as opposed to when clicking on categories, when we click more than one tag the IRL directory should show all channels that have all the tags that we selected, not either of the selected ones. Clicking more categories should increase our results, whereas clicking more tags should decrease them. If we click an already selected tag for a second time then it should deselect it and no longer include channels that contain it.

   The browsing experience and channel visibility could be improved if the Browse page, instead of showing recommended channels, would show all the channels within a directory that we could filter dynamically by selecting single or multiple categories/tags.

4. Don’t arbitrarily exclude channels from “Browse.”

   At some point, I noticed a dramatic decline in the number of live channels in a certain game category under “Browse” despite my not using any tags. I thought it was very strange as it was and has always been one of the most viewed categories on Twitch. Just before, I had noticed that one of my followed channels was live. The channel is small and I should have found it when I sorted by “viewers (low to high),” but I didn’t. Please do not randomly exclude channels from the “Browse” tab. If users feel overwhelmed by the number of channels, they can always put tags themselves to narrow the search. This both hurts the discoverability of small streamers and reduces the number of streams for viewers to choose from.

5. Stop including erroneous embeds in the viewer count

   While it is good that streams can be embedded on other websites these should not automatically count as stream viewers on twitch.

   It is far too easy for some businesses to take advantage of this by putting a tiny stream embed on a high traffic page that almost no-one watches, but which adds thousands to the view count of the streamers shown.

   Not only is it just being dishonest with twitch viewers about a streamer's viewer count, but it damages smaller streamers too. Everyone knows the only reason this is done is because streamers with high view counts naturally draw in viewers at the expense of other streams, but a lot of viewers are conned into believing the view count is real.

   I don't know how many categories are afflicted by this, but in the chess category it is disgustingly obvious, with streams of 100-200 real viewers showing viewer counts of 5-6k due to a tiny embed on a high-traffic page that almost no-one is really watching.

   Some streamers also very obviously take advantage of this by streaming in the category to pick up the massive embeds before switching to a different game category to steal real viewers there too due to their artificially high view count which remains high due to the rolling average that appears to be used.

   It would be much fairer to the majority of streamers to simply not include these embed views in the viewer count, and instead show the truer view count, as well as being far more honest to viewers. This is way worse than viewer botting that twitch seem to be strongly against, as it is strongly targeted at a small number of streamers.

6. Add a "All games" list at the top instead of recommended games that I don't care anything about.

   I could care less about your new entry to "browse games". The "recommended games" are a waste of time, limiting, non-productive, and restrictive. It's not as important that someone change things that are not broken to just to make themselves seem relevant... An "all games" heading at the top would be way more useful to everyone with a pulse, than the way it is now.
   I won't use the browse as it is now because of it's inefficient limits. Every single person I have asked about it doesn't like it at all.

7. add #hashtags

   an hashtag that can be click on to view more specific categories that streamer and comunity can create there own mini categories so that

   for example : Minecraft server can have their own hashtag to only have people that doing stream in the server can see it without writing everything on the browse bar.

8. Finding streamers by viewer count

   I would like to be able to view streams with low or no viewers. Currently I do not know of a way to find a stream to view based on the game they are playing and then the number of current viewers. It seems like the only ones I find have hundreds or thousands of viewers. I find it hard to believe there aren’t people streaming that have no or few viewers

9. category

   Why aren't favorite categories displayed?
   For example: If you have marked software & development as a favorite, it will be replaced by other uninteresting categories, because Twitch thinks that they are more interesting due to the number of users. Why am I not shown my own choice in Categories, each time searching takes a long time...

10. Allow us to filter by streams with a webcam vs those without

    In my opinion, gameplay is so much more interesting to watch when the streamer has a webcam. Their reactions are what make me want to tune into their stream. Of course it's fine if people don't want to use a webcam, but I'd like to be able to filter by those that do.

11. Language Filtering isn't working correctly

    When you browse through a category on twitch, it first gives you a list of streams in your selected language and then simply a list of all active streams in the category, sorted by viewers.
    However, as of recently, this is no longer working correctly and it instead just gives you two lists of all streams all the while still claiming to be filtering for your language.

    I was going to make a proper ticket for the bug report, but quite frankly, the ticked system is a hot mess and there is no option to report bugs pertaining to filter or search or just general UI functionality (it also doesn't help that accidentially clicking on the wrong subcategory will redirect you to some FAQ page instead) so I'm just gonna hope this way works as well.

12. Add a filter button which allows the user to sort by number of viewers

    Add a new filter or search function beyond the custom tag which allows the user to find streamers under X viewer count.

    Example:

    Under 100 Viewers
    Under 50 Viewers
    Under 1000 Viewers
    Under 10 Viewers

    Amounts can be decided by Twitch, but I figure the key numbers like 10, 100, or even 75 for those pushing for partner can be highlighted and that filter can be placed on top of the category filter.

    Example:

    Apex Legends -> Under 75 Viewers -> [Insert other tags]

    I've been enjoying finding other smaller streamers to watch on occasion and the stream interaction is hard to find in any channel with over 100 viewers.

13. page breaks

    Place Browse results into page breaks. Currently, when scrolling streams under the Browse section, after scrolling a while, the page starts to become super laggy until it becomes impossible to scroll anymore. Apparently the content is filling up memory or something. The results should be shown on pages that each have a customizable set limit of results on each one so that this doesn't happen, with a Next Page and Previous Page button at the bottom. Why this hasn't already been done, I have no idea.

14. Provide a Browse Area for Pre-Affiliate accounts

    It would be nice if I could search for someone to watch based on if they're affiliate or not.
    I've been trying to browse for new streamers to watch and I cant seem to find anyone pre-affiliate. I understand we also want to promote new affiliates, but it would also be nice if we could easily find pre-affiliates as well.

15. Please add a global filter for languages

    Users should have the ability to set a global filter for what languages they want their recommended streams to be in. It's annoying to have to set a filter just to get streams in a language I understand every time. There should also be the ability to set multiple languages as many people speak multiple languages.

17. Games instead of category

    Twitch just like google is a recognized universal language for games and pushing into other fields outside gaming; but primarly gaming. In the early stages of twitch 'games' was used (this isn't that important) but later moved onto using category. It is twitchs' underlining code that games should in place of category, just like how google is not godgle, or goggle, or guugle. Please revsrse the process as this is important in twitchs' eco-system, thank you.

20. Really?

    It's cute (Pathetic) how you have a 'feedback' section that slowly turns into a 'we only want to really harvest your free ideas and we don't really care about your complaints' section.

    You add previews to browsing and give us no control over whether we want it, or not. Give us control to disable that **** or I end giving Twitch any money when it renews. What is wrong with you? smh
