Streaming — Live now

Every stream gets an interest score from what its title says it is doing. The ordering is a claim about repeatability, not quality: a ranked match happens ten thousand times a day and will happen again tomorrow, while a specific person walking through a specific place at a specific hour will not. Live video's whole value is the unrepeatable, so the unrepeatable is weighted up.

Viewer count is folded in as reach, compressed logarithmically. That keeps it meaningful — thirty thousand still beats six hundred — without letting it become the only thing that matters, which would just reproduce the platform's own front page.

Two rules stop it degenerating. Real-world activities are only available in real-world categories, so a World of Warcraft raid in Black Temple is not filed as a visit to a temple. And an event has to exist off-platform — "subathon" and "24/7 marathon" are stream formats, not things happening in the world.

No more than two entries per category, so one large event cannot take the whole board.
