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.

I'm doing the cardinal mistake of not having clicked the link since I'm at work, but to build on your sentiment:

Is it binary between searching for 0 viewers and not 0< viewers?

If so I'd suggest implementing the option of searching for less than <arbitrary number of users>, so someone new actually can grow a bit from this tool before potentially taking off organically.

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.

Agreed. I'd like to see something similar for the app stores, but don't think it would work with the magnitude of games and apps there.

You act like this wasn't always true or that celebrity never existed.

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?
