"I understand what you're saying...but those promotion methods are few, only highlight a very small number of streamers, and they are typically very heavily influenced by personal relationships with Twitch staff. Most streamers that are highlighted in Twitch Weekly are people that the hosts watch or are friends with already. Twitch's homepage is partners and companies. Etc. Don't get me wrong, I think it's good that they highlight people in these various methods. But these promotion channels aren't able to serve a community of Twitch's scale. I'm not expecting to " just stream" and I don't think many in this sub-reddit have that expectation, or if they did, you lose that pretty quickly. I expect more effort and opportunities from Twitch, rather than general acceptance of the current situation and people telling me that "this is just the way it works"." - Sam Houston
