I'm an art streamer who carves realistic pumpkin portraiture all year long on foam and organic pumpkins. I also make a lot of other spooky themed art content. However, there are no useful tags that apply to my medium or the style of my work.

The Vibe of the art that I'm creating would fit under a "Spooky", "Halloween" , or even "Dark Art" type of tag. There are a ton of folks on twitch that enjoy playing spooky games and many art/maker and crafting streamers whom could benefit from adding this or similar content description tags.

Thanks for your consideration!

These categories are all part of the same game.

Fire Emblem Fates:
* Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright
* Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest
* Fire Emblem Fates: Special Edition

Fire Emblem Fates is currently subdivided into "Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright", "Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest", and "Fire Emblem Fates: Special Edition", which corresponds to the physical releases the game had. However, the listings and by extension, the physical releases, are more akin to routes within the same game and dividing the category just makes it harder to list and search for streams. Furthermore, the current listing doesn't even have a proper category for Revelation, the third route, as it's not covered by the "Special Edition" at all.

Fire Emblem Fates is considered by the developers and the fanbase to be Fire Emblem 14, a single entry in the series, and it would be beneficial for everyone to simply merge them under the umbrella "Fire Emblem: Fates".

However, due to a peculiarity in how the title's boxart was constructed--being a very horizontal image meant to combine into two halves of a single whole--there doesn't exist a great listing image using just the unedited boxart. The full image, when focused on the merging point and with the logo added atop it, serves well as a listing image, representing all three routes and their representative character. In the interest of having a professional looking listing for title and better legitimizing streaming the game, I'm including images that fit the dimensions used for your site listings: https://imgur.com/a/wYpb4iU

Currently the top views are in the top of the list for followed channels. In categories it is the same way. With disabilities we often can't stream the hours or consistently stream like those that do. So finding a better way to be discovered will help those with accessibility needs. We have a voice but sometimes we are not found due to current set up.

It will also make it safer for other streamers that are not disabled. As many people give out bad advice to just constantly stream such as to not work or sleep. That streaming to be found is more important than having an outside life.

Twitch has different 'boosting' features available to some streamers, such as channel point boost challenges or the new Boost Train. While great in theory for discoverability, completed boost recommendations right now seem to be sent to completely random users.

This means that recommendations are not always seeking the audience that the streamer is hoping to reach, or is content viewers aren't looking for. For example, when checking my own Front Page for these boosted recommendations, I've mostly been recommended channels streaming in languages I do not speak, or in categories I've never engaged in as a viewer or streamer.

This randomness also puts marginalised streamers at higher risk of harrassment as a result of financial support from their communities. For example, when my community completed a Level 4 Boost Train, the only new chatters in my stream were trolls targeting me for being a trans person. Hype Trains are designed to be a moment of joy, not a time where we have to worry more about being harrassed.

Instead, Twitch should send recommendations from boosts out based on user data that Twitch already has (e.g. how they filter 'live channels we think you'll like' and other recommendations). Curating recommendations based on these aspects or other user data available make them more appropriate and meaningful for viewers and streamers alike.

There needs to be a biannual event where the entire Twitch community can celebrate and help uplift the hard work us small streamers put in when planning something special for our communities only to end up with little to no payoff.

For this, it could be setup a set of benefits that are active to any streamer who has been streaming actively for six months atleast and is currently streaming below an average of 20 viewers:

Outside of any contractual agreements with companies, (i.e, Nintendo Directs, major game reveal streams, etc) the entire Front Page is taken over by small streamers, so the recommendations give you streamers based on what your interested in, while being below that threshold, the carousel rotates out streamers either every two hours per streamer per day, or after five minutes if the streamer goes offline before their two hours are up.

A 2x multiplier is applied to all viewers, on top of the subscriber multiplier.

Ad free viewing, regardless of subscription status or the ad free viewing setting being disabled.

All bits dropped being worth an extra 50%.

50% off new subs, gift subs and resubs at any tier for the month.

A weekly instant $25 injection for any Partners who raids any streamer they've found on the front page.

A set of emotes that can be earned through supporting small streamers in any of these ways, similar to the Hindsight 2020 event.

Including a second set that any streamers, regardless of Partnership status and their viewers can earn by raiding multiple small streamers over the course of the month.

And a third set only granted to people who hit the top 3 spots of the individual gift sub and bit leaderboards by the end of Small Streamer Appreciation Month.

I exclusively stream beadwork and none of the current categories fit my type of craft. "Jewelry" sort of works for beaded medallions and earrings, but not for patches, wall decor and traditional regalia. Because of this, I believe this will be harder for fans of this craft to find relevant streams. Instead, potential viewers will have to find streams by chance or filter through tags until they get lucky. Which is exactly what I did until I finally found other beaders. All of which list their craft under different tags. If not a dedicated beadwork tag, allow streamers to add one custom tag to their streams to prevent tag spamming.

Implement a filter that would be present no matter what section of the site you are on allowing you to filter based on a primary language.

1) Force a streamer to select a single primary language
2) Allow streamer to select multiple secondary languages
3) Implement a filter that would be at the top of any search/game/category listing...

The filter should have two features.
- Allow user to filter based on primary language ONLY
- Allow user to sub-filter based on secondary languages optionally

This accomplishes two goals.

1) Allow the viewer to filter down to streamers that for the majority of the time will speak the language you set as primary.
2) Allow the viewer if they so desire to include secondary languages. Most viewers are not interested in watching a stream that is 50% Russian and 50% English however we should not remove that option as it takes away from the experience.

Trying to find a good channel for any game in Twitch is annoying currently as you sometimes go 4-5 channels before you even find one in your language depending on the time of day. This takes away from the experience and with new platforms such as YouTube Gaming coming....you know they will have this feature. Get ahead of the curve.

Twitch does not innovate much lately...the site looks about the same as it did 2-3 years ago. With from a viewers perspective...same features almost...not much has made Twitch better.

The moment you stop innovating you die. So lets avoid that!
