Feature small, quality streamers
On the frontpage, feature 1 small, quality streamer, next to the top streamers. Newcomers and hidden gems could be featured there to give them some more exposure. Obviously it has to be a quality stream so they could/should be picked by the twitch staff.

Make this so the many smaller streamers can have a chance and can get out there but only have people on the featured wall or list that get under 5 viewers every stream consistently.As a Streamer myself it's a bit anoyying because there's so many bigger streamers that have all the views and you could possibly see someone who is a huge stream that is still good at the game and you will the smaller streamers will have a better time and this might bring a few people from mixer onto twitch or from mixer back to twitch.

it would help small streamers out a lot, as they try their best to stream but don't get a lot of viewers.

in the twitch universe these days its so hard to get noticed. you have your big guys like timthetatman, lirik, summit1g. they have all the viewers in the world and people migrate to them. they are on the front page and word of mouth spread them. but the small streamers just starting out have almost no way to get noticed unless you know one of the big guys, someone at twitch, or have a huge group of friends. why not set up something to help small guys get noticed. randomly pick like 2 to be on front page, or something i dont know. it just gets frustrating trying day in day out over and over for years and get no where. it should be hard i get that but some helpful nudges never hurt.

In my opinion, Small channels should be able to be seen abit more easily. when i want to check out new high quality streamers with a low view count that are stuck down the list im having a hard time because you need to scroll endlessly until you find them. I am sure they would appreciate being able to be seen better

my biggest problem with this would be, you could get some really bad/offensive and low quality streams, its much better that it is for partnered streamers, it gives you incentive to get partnered and helps partnered streamers continue to grow, they put in their hard work and were recognized as good enough quality to become a partner.
HOWEVER, they seem to only really show high view count people on the featured channel and the partnered streamers that have low view's have no chance at all to get on the featured list, you made them a partner... why exclude them? the streamers with low views that do get featured just seem to be favorites of a staff/admin

Would be great but never gonna happen.
They need to keep those spots for someone who will give them money and not just leech their expensive bandwidth. -

It would be enough to make a form where you can apply for this feature

I like this idea, but how would Twitch make money off of this idea?

As a further to this idea, an option to view the list based on LOWEST view count (and maybe even hide streamers from the list)

I'd like to see on the front page, one slot out of the six featured, dedicated to players who have a low count of viewers, randomly chosen from 10 - 100 viewer bracket, giving the community members a chance, helping to encourage, promote and support other member's of community.

could u make an system that helps smaller twitch channels get noticed because its unfair that there are smaller twitch channels out there that have the potential to be a good streamer dont get a chance because of the bigger twitch streamers ?

While this would be cool, I feel like it would be really difficult for twitch staff to mill through thousands of small streamers to find one that's just right. It's a cool idea, but a bit unrealistic.

This could be cool. I'm tired of seeing the people who buy their way through everything getting helped out by the big-wigs. I'd even be ok with them not being hand selected for their quality. If they just had a box on the front page that featured a streamer who's not partnered, at random, and changed every time you refreshed the page, I'd be cool with that.

Streamers with only a handfull of followers can still deliver quality streams while not being partnered but global mods could do it too for sure.

Problem with it being picked by the staff is they're probably partnered anyway then. I think maybe a global moderator would be the better choice.
