1. Expand the Upcoming streams Browsing tools

   I'd love to see more streams and a tags filter tool added to the Upcoming streams browser. For example this page: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/djs/upcoming

   Currently there's only a select few of upcoming streams curated on that page. If a full browser was implemented it would help with discovery.
   * Viewers could filter the Upcoming streams for tags that they like, and discover new scheduled streams from streamers they dont know
   * Viewers could then plan to watch Twitch at the times of the scheduled streams
   * More exposure for streamers who are streaming in categories and tags that viewers want

   It could work like either of the existing Browsing experiences for the live channels. That is, with either Shelves customized for the viewers, or with Tags that viewers can use to filter the entire schedule for their content choices.

   It should also have a date and time filter selection.

3. Hide channels

   Please add the ability to hide channels quickly when viewing categories.

   I enjoy the ASMR Category, but I am sick of obnoxious t*tty streamers who take no care in the configuration of their microphones or the sounds they're making.
   Just feels like a recipe: 1: Show bobs. 2: Link twitter with OF link.. ohai now your top of the ASMR category.

   There's also a ton of boring 24/7 streams and duplicated streams and streams in the wrong category under ASMR. As well as those duplicated streamers all having the same video with donation links... just scam/spam central.

   Blocking them does nothing, reporting them does nothing. Let me just hide the channels so I'm not flooded with terrible quality content.

   The ASMR category used to be a nice place. Now it's a chore to find genuine streamers who aren't spamming or playing into the various metas.

5. Add ability to search all streams from categories followed

   It would be nice to be able to see all active streams based on the categories followed. This would help users discover new streamers in a more organized form than simply using the "Browse" view.

   Example:
   • User follows: Retro, Metroid Fusion, and Pikmin categories
   • User navigates to "All streams from followed categories" view
   • User sees a Browse view that only shows streams from Retro, Metroid Fusion, and Pikmin

6. Make it easier to distinguish AI-streams from real ones

   Put 3 buttons at the top of a list of streams (AI only, no AI, both)

   Or add 'Hide AI' to the 'Hide Content With Content Classification Labels' section

   Or split the list of streams into two columns

7. The ability to block or hide streamers content

   So far I have only found the ability to hide or block streamers content on the for you type page of twitch, but the ability to do this in the general browsing sections especially when browsing live channels would be helpful especially for those who want to see less individuals who show a lot of skin.

   The general block and ban functions available in chats doesn't do this, nor should it.

8. "Streamers In Your Communities" Browse Category

   So we all know that for discoverability, Twitch tracks who follows who, and who they also watch. Example: You follow Streamer X, and also follow/watch Streamer Y, and so does Z% of the community, they get recommended.

   I'd like to see a category that dials that one more step down:
   You Follow Streamer X
   Other Community Member Follows Streamer X
   Other Member Streams
   I can go to "Streamers in your Communities" category to see streamers who share a community with me, that I would never otherwise know about since self promotion is frowned upon.

   I know when I browse a game category one of the big things I look for is "Do I recognize this name from anywhere"

   I think this would really also help smaller creators.

9. Option to put Channels with mature content as hidden from directory.

   A option to not show channels with mature content filtered on could help out in some cases. Where if you toggle this option on, browsing through twitch, channels with mature content filtered on will not show up.

10. Block tags

    This was also suggested back in 2020 but clearly no twitch employees have cared to even check it… Let us hide specific tags already, I absolutely do not enjoy watching vtubers at all and I’m so annoyed when 70% of what I see are just vtubers. I truly despise it when people use fake voices and an anime avatar, please let us block tags!

11. Marking a recommended category as not interested should also filter out all channels in that category

    When browsing Categories by Recommended for You, if I mark a Category as Not Interested, when I then browse Live Channels by Recommended for You, all channels in that category should be filtered out.

    For example, I marked ASMR and Pools, Hot Tubs, & Beaches as Not Interested but I still see channels in those categories in the recommended channels section. I have to then mark each individual channel as Not Interested. Just marking the category as not interested should filter all those channels out automatically.

12. sound on esports browser

    this was probably thought of already, or suggested and shot down,

    but what about adding sound to the Esports Directory, instead of having to navigate to the channel, enable sound on the Esports Directory so that I (and maybe others) can just from game to game and be able to listen to commentary.

13. EASIER WAY TO NOW ACTIVITIES OF CHANNELS YOU FOLLOW

    I wish there was a page on twitch where you can check who streamed how many hours ago within your followed list. This would come in handy due to twitch being a website where anybody can stream at anytime of the day and I don't want to miss out on streams that happened when I was for example asleep. I know that you can see if streames that I follow have streamed if there is a vod left but that UI is absolute dog **** and I want a page where I can check more easily.

14. Filter to not show certain games when browsing

    For people who love games, especially multiplayer games such as PUBG, CSGO, World of Warcraft, etc. It's very easy to find new channels on the Browse page.

    However, for people who really dislike these types of games, and prefer to watch streams for their (positive) communities, it's almost impossible to find new streamers.

    When heading to the browse directory, there's an option: "Show me", where you can select Channels. Perfect. However, this shows just the most popular streamers mostly playing the games we don't want to see. There's a second filter: "Streaming from", which is even more irrelevant for the people who're not looking for specific games/platforms.

    So I'd love to see an extra option to allow filtering games with a 'not' argument. Showing all channels which are not playing 'game x, game y, game z, making it so much easier to find people who're playing some random game you've never heard of, who you'd never have found in any other way, since there is no other way to find these people.

15. Divide portuguese languages according to country

    It's very hard to find streamers from Portugal in the middle of so many Brazilian streamers (Brazil has almost 20 times the population of Portugal), dividing it by Portuguese (BR) or Portuguese (PT) would make things a lot easier. This is the standard in programs, subtitles and games, since we use a lot of different terms. I think both sides of the language would welcome this change.

17. Enable No-Viewer Count Mode and Desired Content Selections

    There are many good posts in this section that try to address the issues with highlighting relevant content for viewers and support discovery of channels where viewers will be engaged in a way that leads them to support the content creator and platform. The problem is that Twitch has become increasingly solely depended on a cornerstone of viewer count which provides little to no value and detracts from the actual value and outcomes of engagement on the platform.

    Channels are often avoided or attended because the primary metric is focused on viewer count. This is basic psychology at work and here are some examples that elaborate on this concept the premise for this post is presented.

    <10
    Channels with 1 to 3 viewers appear to have ‘no attendance’ which is psychologically off-putting regardless of the fact that is not representative of the professionalism, skill or quality of the streamer and their content. This psychological discrimination can honestly continue to be true with up to not more than 10 viewers again because of the primacy of viewer count.

    10 to 50 or 100
    Channels with 10-50 viewers can begin to look attractive for people looking for personal engagement and belonging with community. This could have been truer with channels of lower viewer counts that were simply missed opportunities but in practice this is seen on the platform. Channels with 50-100 viewers can additionally attract people who want to be able to consume content but not necessarily be personally actively engaged with the content. Again, this could have been truer with channels of lower viewer counts but it is not possible to determine given the primacy of viewer count on the platform.

    100+
    When viewer count gets above 100 it becomes increasingly unlikely that viewers will get any personal response or interaction with the streamer. Often channels will turn on Follower-Only or Subscriber-Only chat in order to make communication with chat at all manageable and as viewer count increases or features like Slow-Chat or Emote-Only. Often these can be channels that do not actually interact with chat but allow viewers to “talk among yourselves” about the content and only drawing from specifically tagged chats with a question for instance.

    [There may be even more relevant detail and analysis related to this and I welcome those with the knowledge and appropriate background to increase the value and relevance of this information by contributing to the comments.]

    Recommendation: No Viewer Count Mode
    This feedback is to recommend the implementation of a trial feature or mode that enables viewers to browse Twitch that completely hides the count of current viewers. This could be piloted once a minimum viable product has been developed and I feel confident would be met with a mostly positive reception. Recalling the above examples, the obvious trends become a sub-set of personality and mood that viewers approach the platform with and what they are seeking out of the entertainment and content.
    
    Consider the increased value then to being able to make permanent or temporary selections based on your desired outcome as a viewer from the platform. These could include I would like to find a community that has certain characteristics or features certain content. Channels that feature people who look like me, channels featuring content I am interested in or channels that feature a streamer with certain characteristics and a variety of entertainment.

    Recommendation: Desired Content Selection
    The shortcomings with the current tag system are apparent in several other posts and need to be addressed, including the necessity of the platform for these to be hierarchical and the problem with misuse based on the elective nature of tags by the streamer. The following recommendation is related to the above recommendation for No Viewer Count Mode to assist with the formation of a system that benefits the viewers of the platform.

    Implement a system for streamer selection as well as exit-interviews or even in-chat polls or follow-up emails for ratings that can help inform a measure for the channel. The ratings questions must be designed in a way that does not allow a tendency toward negative-to-positive reviews but assesses the channel on a spectrum of relevant characteristics. Initially these questions would be a do you agree since they must begin electively by the channel owner.

    Do you agree with the following statements about CHANNEL?
    [Channel-elected characteristics to validate could be placed here]
    I feel a sense of community and belonging
    I feel a sense of professionalism and quality

    What would you say best describes CHANNEL on 3/5 occasions?
    Chilled ------ Energetic
    Focuses on Chat ----- Focuses on Content
    Variety ---------- “Game” Dedicated
    Silly/Funny ------- Serious/Intellectual
    Family Friendly ----- Mature Audience

    [There may be even more relevant detail and analysis related to this and I welcome those with the knowledge and appropriate background to increase the value and relevance of this information by contributing to the comments.]

    These characteristics would form the basis of selections by viewers who can select what they are looking for when they come to the platform for their entertainment.
    Such as the following.
    [ ] Channels that feature giveaways and sponsored products
    [ ] Professional broadcasts (more produced setting)
    [ ] Developer/Brand focused
    [ ] Game/Content focused
    [ ] Variety content
    [ ] Community and belonging
    [ ] Chat engagement
    [ ] Chat games and points redemptions
    [ ] Personal broadcasts (less produced setting)

    What do you think? Could a viewer-count-less mode work for Twitch? What kinds of selections should be included? How could these systems be best implemented?

    Thank you for seriously considering feedback from the community and seeking to continually improve the platform for both streamers and viewers.
