#22Great concept for the winner take all world we live in now. It's very difficult to get your name out there in anything these days without having to invest a lot in marketing yourself.
Somewhat in the same vein is Steam's new game recommendation engine where you have a [popular --- niche] slider so you can filter out the obvious results. I wish more search engines had something like that.
In general there is so much cool stuff out there on the edges of culture, but your really have to hang around in weird circles to stumble upon the hidden gems.

#23This was so much fun to test out this morning. Most streamers who saw me come in were so excited to have a viewer. Nice idea.

Just to dive deeper into this, with the billions of people on this planet, why is someone necessarily entitled to getting their name out there without having to invest something themselves?

#25We didn’t learn our lesson about cam roulettes last time around?
Honestly, if sites like omegle had just created a dedicated pornographic section, it would have drawn that audience away from what was otherwise a pretty fun experience.
That... sounds like a good idea. I wonder why PornHub/etc don't try this? Or do they already have such a feature?

interesting, ill test in a bit. The only javascript on the page is from twitch for its embed API, everything else is just some really basic html and server side rendering, so I'm curious what would be breaking

It doesn't help that most streams look identical to each other when your are browsing the directory, i.e. hundreds of thumbnails that look like screenshots of games. There is no way to tell them apart.

#28Great idea. It'd be great if you could select a game / category. Reason is I'd actually be able to have an actual chat with someone if I knew something about the game.
Ya I want to add this, I just need to figure out a way to ingest / filter the data in a way that twitch wont ban my account. Looking into this this weekend.

Issues with monetization and proving people are legal age.

I get a blank white page within Palemoon and Firefox within Linux.
