Only apps can create streams. Only users can create filters. Filters can only be used with streams, yet these two resources cannot be owned by one entity. I find this extremely confusing.
As an app, I want a filtered view of the global stream. For example, I want to filter it to show only posts from my app. I can create the stream, but in order to filter it, I need an arbitrary user to own my app's stream filter. An app needs to be able to create a filter for its own stream.
