The same streamers on the front page every day
I've been a Twitch viewer for years and a content creator for a little over a year now. I dont watch regular TV (for lack of a better term), just Twitch. Theres tons of great content creators out there unfortunately every time I visit the front page, its the same 5-10 streamers EVERY DAY getting all the publicity. Not only is it always the same streamers but its virtually all from the 'music' category which isn't a category I'm interested in. So not only is Twitch cherry-picking the talents they want to see succeed, they're not delivering me content that I might be interested in.
This isn't something new; you'll find countless posts in the uservoice echoing this same sentiment. In the meantime, smaller streamers struggle to get recognition and grow their channel and community. I play the guitar...it's fun...and people enjoy music but no one listens to the same 5 artists over and over and over and over and over every day for months on end...yet the front page is continually occupied by the same 5 musicians over and over and over and over for months. They've had their moment in the sun. It's time to give others a fair shake.
I DONT WATCH MUSIC STREAMS SO STOP PUTTING THEM AND THE SAME 5 PEOPLE ON THE FRONT PAGE.
Twitch logs everything we do on the site. They keep track of everything we watch so it can't be that hard to tweak the front page algorithm to deliver new and relevant content to viewers.
Theres countless other websites and services we can use to listen to music. It's sad to see Twitch deliberately turning itself into a 2nd rate Spotify or YouTube Music. While "XXXinBoston" and "***'sSpace" and "XXXtheAnarchist" strum away at their guitars on the front page (full name's withheld because it's not their fault), other talented streamers are shutting down their streams because Twitch buries them...literally BURIES them...and makes it virtually impossible for smaller content creators and communities to succeed.
