Show HN: Twitch Roulette – Find live streamers who need views the most

42•ellg•2h ago

Hey HN, I re-launched an old site I remembered back in the day that someone made called twitchroulette.net with a lot of new features and stats and I would love for people to check it out. The idea is you can easily browse the less browsed parts of twitch and find cool and new streamers to say hi to, and maybe make some new friends.

I also added some real time stats and breakdowns per channel and I think some of the things they show are pretty interesting. Check it out!

Check out a cool real time feed of people discovering new streamers here: https://twitchroulette.net/discover

And some neat global stats around twitch streams here: https://twitchroulette.net/stats

For anyone who is curious btw: twitch will count you as your own viewer. So anyone with their own chat open in a browser (almost everyone so they can read it) will have that 1 viewer. Which is why the bottom of the distribution is so weird looking.

ya it's why I have the default set to 0-5, theres weirdness in what twitch counts as a viewer

Similar in spirit to IMG_0001⁰, IMG_0416¹, and astronaut.io² for YouTube but live on Twitch!

Not that I can see. I think most on HN root for the underdog.

I will never understand how Amazon hasn't shuttered Twitch yet. Dan Clancy is totally ok with his contracted streamers constantly live streaming terrorist training videos. I guess the adpocalypse only came for YouTube and never Twitch.

no comment on the political bits, but the fact that 80% of twitch is streaming to themselves cant be cheap to run

I do wish they would revamp their discoverability process
