The two biggest English streams hold 96% of the 115 English viewers here, leaving about 5 for everyone else. When they log off, the category empties.

Only 115 of the 182 viewers here (63%) are watching in English. 5 of the 12 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.
