    My idea is quite simple. Twitch streamers are ranked by current number of viewers by default. which is perfectly fine. I propose a "randomize" feature, to allow viewers to randomly select a game or streamer within the game channel. It can either be a sort or button option. It would be a small button located near the top or side of the page.

    Button Example - "Roll the Dice" (button pictured as a die, each a different color)

    Game Die: A small button, when clicked by the viewer, that will direct the viewer to a random game channel.

    Steamer Die: A small button within the game channel, when clicked, that will direct the viewer to a random streamer within the game channel.

    The viewer could re-roll the die as many time has she/he wishes.

    ...or a simple sort option, allowing the viewer to sort games and streamers by random, instead of by number of viewers.

    The button need not be a die, but I think the concept is clear. I think it could allow lesser viewed games and streamers break through the ice. Let's face it, there is no question a huge barrier exists for games/steamers at the bottom of the #views sort, everyone knows this.

    Ultimately, the default (#viewers) sort would remain but would allow curious viewers to delve to the bottom and see fresh faces.

    Any thoughts, recommendations, or criticisms? I know many people have offered ideas to promote the bottom.
