Hey there first time twitch forum user and from my iPhone so forgive me if its not in the right format, but as a suggestion, as a way to boost overall viewership on faith as well as individual streams it would be nice to have a specific; quick refreshing, area for streams with <10 views. It would allow lower less advertised streams to get random viewers easier and by sheer chance you will get more repeat customers finding streams that they like.

We want to make sure we are promoting streams that not only stream appropriate content, but stream interesting content. If we keep showing off the people with the lowest numbers, it might be because they are a tad boring in some cases.
Currently, we promote people at random if they are a producer, which are people we have marked as "has awesome content" You don't need hundreds of viewers to be a producer.
In the past it was based on who had the most viewers, which isn't good at all. The only featured stream on the front page that doesn't get chosen at random is the main feature, which is chosen by hand.
It might not be the bottom of the viewing pile, but its better then only featuring the most popular people.
