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.

anything to help small streamers like myself reach out and get a community. Whether its a tab on Twitch or a way for small streamers to talk to each other when they aren't streaming. Something along those lines.

yeah i agree 100% on this, hard to grow as a small streamer especially if you dont seem to get more than 1 or 2 watchers. kinda sucks tbh. there should be a community tab where small streamers can squad stream together to help their channels grow.

true we all need this even if i have about 4 viewers on average but i would love for twitch to push me to a wider audience and stop pushing people that are already famous its just pointless

This is an amazing idea! I started streaming years ago but only started to take it seriously recently and I've been trying really hard to network, grow my community and make new friends but it's so hard to find other small streamers trying to do the same, there should be a "looking to co-stream" section on Twitch 100%, thank you for mentioning this.

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
