I feel that twitch is really lacking in its ability to help smaller streamers grow on the platform. I feel if twitch implements a better algorithm for finding less popular streams like the ones on YouTube and TikTok it could see a lot more creators sticking around for a lot longer.

It would be great if there was just a new streamer category or something. I actually look for small streams when I am not streaming myself, and it proves to be very challenging.

If a person likes to watch call of duty it should recommend smaller streams that play the game to help small streams and help views see a different variety of streamers instead of seeing big streamers play that certain game

i feel like twitch should add a small streamer section I've been streaming for over 3 years and put out $1000 or more to make my stream better but no can see it because no one can find me so cant we have this but we could make it a requirement of 300 hundred to 1000 followers to set a limit it would make more fun for new streamers to be recognized

smaller streamers aren't recommended or put out enough for their channels to grow making it hard for new streamers

Plataforma muito boa, mas deviam ajudar os streamers pequenos, pois os streamers maiores ficam fazendo rerun, e isso pegam todos os ads e viwers. Estou fazendo live a um bom tempo e ainda não consegui ser afiliado, mas continuarei em busca.

Os pequenos streamers que estão começando não tem voz ! vocês possuem divulgação de grandes canais nas mídias sociais ! porque não olhar pra quer não teve a oportunidade ainda !?

https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/924712-new-creator-dashboard/suggestions/41549866-add-a-random-small-streamer-suggestion-to-the-ra This is a suggestion I provided on a way they could reasonably implement this. Small streamers who want to grow could opt in, and channels preparing to raid (via the dashboard) would be prompted to raid a random channel with a lower viewer count.

Would be nice if it wasn’t so hard for us smaller streamers to be found!

Yo sugiero de recomendar mas a los streamer pequeños o sin viewers, tambien priorizando la costancia y el tiempo.

I suggest to recommend more to small streamers or without viewers, also prioritizing consistency and time.

there needs to be more light for new streams, ive been streaming for a month or two and am finding it impossible to get myself out there, more veiws or follows. i feel as if there needs to be more light on new and up and coming streamers

Unpopular opinion, I don't see this working as much as people think.

Reason being is that the vast majority of people who request something like this on reddit, twitter and this page are streamers themselves. Every small streamer wants to grow their channel and are hyper focused on growing their channel, they are not gonna help out other small streamers grow their channels. They have their own channels to work on.

So at the end of the day, you have a whole section dedicated to small streamers trying to grow but the only people in said category are streamers, not viewers. The vast amount of viewers on twitch will not willing go to this category.

I would love to be wrong but I honestly believe putting yourself in a dedicated small stream category and using things like #smallstreamer is a hindrance to yourself.

ABSOLUTELY!!! I posted a similar idea, I can't believe it even has to be said it seems like common sense.

This is a banger idea! I just smile thinking of a small kid streaming in hopes of being a huge streamer get his first viewer!

Perhaps Twitch could consider having a tournament of a particular game (or games) where only streamers with low followers can play to help them promote? It helps both Twitch by giving them an event promote, but also helps the streamers by getting the publicity AND having the chance to show off if they can entertain or not (to FlopzYT's point)

produce a better and overall help for the new/ little guy

like if they have at least have 2 viewers they appear on at least 5 peoples recommended and have the base settings more jumbled not have high to low or low to high but more of 2 big streamers with a lot of views and then 2 or 3 small streamers with a lot less views ide make it easier for people to grow themselves and their community

I agree with this it could be a general category that has a bunch of small streamers playing a variety of games in order to help boost the discover-ability.
