Best for: Chill solo streams or small co-op sessions with friends
Watch out for: Light viewer hooks mean chat engagement depends on your commentary carrying the stream.
Popular doesn't always mean playable for your channel. StreamGist filters the list based on whether a game gives smaller streams a realistic opening.
Viewer count only
Do smaller streamers get seen?
Crowded directories
How much competition is there?
One-size-fits-all charts
Does it fit your stream?
Find a category where good content can get noticed, instead of chasing the biggest game.
Before you pick, check what popularity charts miss: viewer spread, competition, fit, and reasons to return.
Viewer count doesn't matter as much if viewers only watch top channels. Look for the spread.
A busy category isn't a busy stream. More live channels make discovery harder.
Cozy, competitive, story-driven, and chaotic streams need different picks.
Good streaming games create decisions, progress, or recurring moments viewers can follow.
