Truly random is not what anyone actually wants.

Picking a channel at random on every press means the same channel can come up three times in a row, and a channel you added months ago can go weeks without ever being chosen. That is exactly how random behaves — it just does not feel like a fair shuffle, because it isn’t one.

Channel selection now works like dealing a deck rather than rolling a die. Your channels are shuffled into an order, and each press takes the next one off the top. When the list runs out it is shuffled again. Over a full pass, every channel you added comes up exactly once.

The practical difference is that the quiet channels stop being invisible. If you added twenty channels, you see something from all twenty before you see the first one again — which is presumably why you added twenty.

Adding or removing a channel reshuffles what is left, so a new channel does not have to wait until the end of the current pass to appear.
