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.

Beam is doing this and it is working very well. Just sayin'.

I really like this idea...since I am a small channel xD

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.

i love the idea

On the Homepage show smaller channels instead of bigger channels so virtually everyone can get followers easily.

How about a random button, to allow viewers to check out new/smaller streams. Maybe a reward system to the viewers that use it? This way both parties win..

As you realize, promoting streamers constantly that already nets over 1.000 viewers without it, are less likely to need it to keep streaming than promoting streamers who only hit a few hundred or even less and are struggling to make ends meet. By promoting your smaller streamers more on the frontpage, you help build new big streamers up, showing the viewers of Twitch more diversity as well as helping establish more streamers on your site. This means that everybody wins. Big streamers shouldn't be removed from the front page, but rather be moved down to a category of "secondary promotion", as they obviously still deserve extra support for their hard work. But I think most people agree that more diversity through helping promote smaller ones would be an awesome change. For example: Pick 20 smaller (or something) to support for a few weeks. Those that are showing potential growth gets some continued support until they can pull through without the extra superboost of Twitch, while those who just don't seem to be helped by the frontpage unfortunately would have to be replaced by other candidates. Keeps the frontpage more fresh, more new names and many other games seing support, even if you focus on a bunch of 20 for 2-3 months before putting new ones there. Frontpage is already awesome, but could be made even more awesome by putting extra focus on the diversity of this wonderful website in comparison to the amount at the moment (which is currently dominated by eSports, big streamers, LoL, Smite, CSGO with a touch of other things which is not bad but you get the point, just moving it down to "secondary promotion" would still promote them but not as massively as at the moment). <3

There are many small streamers who I've watched that have amazing streams. These are often people who spend huge amounts of their personal time on Twitch, and support the website. Instead of always featuring large streamers who already have a following, Twitch should give back to the little guys, and make sure that the community knows it is appreciated. This will also help even the playing field, so that there is more of a chance for talented streamers to be found and made popular, instead of having success be so luck based.
