I think that the suggested categories are heavily biased. You can have 1 partnered streamer who has thousands of viewers and 9 others with 1-2 viewers and that game will be recommended. Of course I'll be in the top 10 streamers 🙄. But if this is a tool for small streamers to help us grow, I'd rather the statistics for average viewers remove the partnered steamers from consideration. It's hard enough to reach partner goals. Its false advertising to suggest I would earn more viewers playing a recommended game simply because the statistics are including a partnered streamer with thousands of viewers they earned by their nudity on another platform.
If Twitch is going to recommend content I should partake in, I would like it to also factor in the most-watched content of my community members/most active viewers/subscribers. I'd like to give my community the content they enjoy watching, participating, interacting with (my statistics vs what they as a whole interact with outside my channel)? If you tell me "Your viewers lurk when you play game XYZ but they are actively participating/interacting in other chats watching ABC", I'd rather play ABC. I like the suggestion What_this_be made about linking steam accounts so we can see games in our library and how they would rank in earning viewer potential.
I would also like the ability to filter out categories from recommendations. I don't have a tolerance for horror personally and I have friends with Misophonia I'm sure would not want to be recommended ASMR-type content.
