Add a New Streamers Category and allow Multicasting to Multiple Categories
As a new streamer, nothing is more discouraging or depressing than spending hours streaming at the bottom of your chosen category (i.e. Just Chatting) for months at a time to get basically no viewers. Slow growth kills new streamers.
There are certain categories that, if allowed, new streamers could stream to simultaneously to increase their visibility and grow quicker. Even if only for their first 90 days until they can direct their followers to where they feel the most comfortable streaming.
For example, I enjoy talking about politics, daily news and things that connect everyone. I should be allowed to stream to the Just Chatting, Politics, and Talk Shows and Podcasts. This way, as I stream each day, I am exposed to three distinct audiences and over time my stream could drop-off each channel until I am only on one. lend themselves to streamers. I do not have to switch categories during my stream, just focus on streaming.
Finally, add a new streamers category where anyone with less than 1000 followers is allowed to stream during their time on Twitch for a total of ninety days (to be used 1 day at a time, at any time, at their discretion) or until they reach 1000 followers. This will allow them to be viewed and supported within the community by each other and those people looking to support new streamers.
Hi there, thanks for your feedback and taking the time to submit it. Unfortunately, as there are two suggestions proposed in this one idea, it would be rather difficult to determine which idea interests users that might vote on your feedback. For this reason, we ask that you resubmit this as two separate ideas. Thanks for your understanding!
