Bummer, but thanks for the clarifiation @Dist. I’m not sure how they do it either, but (when it’s working which again is rare) it’s a great tool because I got so frustrated with finding streams right as they were ending.
For me, being able to sort streams by ones that just started (mostly) guarantees a longer stream you can participate in, and if it’s a very story-driven game then you get to watch it from the very beginning if you haven’t played/watched it yourself prior.
It looks like that https://twitch.uservoice.com is where I need to go to suggest ideas for Twitch services/infrastructure so I’ll mention it on there if it hasn’t already been mentioned. Again, appreciate the clarification!
