Upgrades to landing page functinality
I have an idea on the functionality of the way the landing page works almost entirely. I feel this would bring more people to other streamers and make it fun and engaging for viewers while incentivizing people to use the landing page more readily maybe even daily.
I think incentivizing people to use the landing page/checking out the highlighted streams would net more users visiting more creators which in turn could bring in more revenue. This could be done by adding an emoji set only useable if the landing page was used that day/month so many times, sub for a day when after a criteria is hit, or maybe a few bits after a criteria is hit.
Also, streamers could get involved in customizing incentives for coming to their stream from landing page. Certain amount of channel points given for coming from the landing page, access to a couple emotes, ect...
I also feel that the way the highlighted channels are picked is very outdated. I Right now, and yesterday, I went to the landing page to see 5 'Music' channels. I don't even care about music channels so that shortens my realm of recommendations too.. 3? This in its self is, in other words, shooting its self in the foot. I believe you should be able to customize (broadly) what you are interested in and what you are not. Being able to filter (or even multiple filter sets for what you are looking for at that time) for highlighted channels would bring more to the landing page. I know you don't really do too many highlighted channels at a time right now, but if done correctly, this could allow for more channels to be highlighted. I'm not talking about what the browse section is like, bit being able to omit certain criteria to see what else is highlighted. Picking something like... 'Just Chatting/Music' is in browse, but being able to omit it from landing page would be ideal. This, I feel, would add for more channels to be featured.
I also thought that allowing users to see the highlighted channels in their following page could allow them to see a favorite of theirs on the landing page and might incentivize them to see what is going on.
