April Fools' IRL categories are a diss at the valid category creation requests that are being ignored Twitch has allotted some resources into creating these categories as a joke: "Just Catting", "Sandwiches", "Cowboy Corner", "Inanimate Objects" and "Chores, Odd Jobs and Errands". They had someone spend time and effort brainstorming for their titles and descriptions, artists creating their cards and engineering adding them to the platform. They've proven that it's not hard at all to get it done. Yet, they still refuse to add some much wanted IRL categories that have been requested on this forum. They're ignoring so many of the valid requests that people have suggested and been voting on for so long. Making this move is disrespectful to all those people who've put their energy into making their suggestions. I'll admit the "Chores, Odd Jobs and Errands" category wasn't too bad of an idea since a lot of streamers do this kind of stuff anyway, but all the others were just superfluous. What was also interesting was they all had descriptions for what type of content they could be used for, yet none of the old IRL categories do. They could help streamers choose the correct category for the type of content they're streaming. Cramming everything into "Just Chatting" because streamers are unaware other IRL categories exist or what they can be used for makes it time consuming and difficult for viewers to find the content they're looking for. Streamers need to break away from "Just Chatting" and stop using gaming categories for IRL content.
The new Twitch leadership has made commendable efforts to understand the content creation / streaming culture and it's very much appreciated. Please also make an effort to take your viewers' feedback into account more. Just like streamers are like your employees, viewers are like your customers.
Question for Twitch: What did you gain out of adding these silly temporary categories as a joke and what would you have to lose by adding those much wanted permanent categories if it's so easy to do it?
UPDATE : Since these temporary categories were removed, "Just Catting" has been brought back and made official. This category is super redundant and irrelevant with the existence of "Animals, Aquariums and Zoos". Not even the channel who inspired the name is using it and is still in "Just Chatting".

Make a Category for trash games There are now tons of trash games and they are all still fun and entertaining in their own way.
That's why I'm wondering if you shouldn't create a category like "Trash games" so that people who are interested in this type of game don't have to look for individual titles but simply have a category where they can play a variety of games of this type can.1 vote -

Shrapnel - FPS web3 game (incorrect category being added after Stream is completed) After my stream has concluded for Shrapnel (the FPS web3 game), the Twitch platform incorrectly switches the category to another Shrapnel category with the same name, but it's a different title. This needs to be fixed so I can correctly categorize my stream. Currently, I have multiple streams categorized incorrectly. This is very frustrating when trying to gain exposure and awareness of a new game that's currently in pre-alpha stage.

Warhammer 40,000 gladius Warhammer 40k gladius is a fun game that many people enjoy but it lacks its own category on twitch. It would be nice for it to have its own category so it's easier to look for people who play and stream it

Separate Categories for World of Warcraft games As of writing this post, WoW has has 3 different games active:
1) WoW Dragonflight
2) WoW Classic
3) WoW Wrath of the Lich King Classic.
My suggestion is to make 3 separate categories for each of those games since they are different games.1 vote -

Vampire Mansion Recently heard about this game from someone I watch and noticed that it didn't have a category of it's own, though I did see that other streamers have played it in the past but just under different categories. Mostly just wondering if it will have it's own category at some point.

[BUG] Not interested button doesn't work as intended Ever since the preview feature was added to categories, the 'Not Interested' button has stopped doing what it did before. It will only hide a channel temporarily in that category.
Given that a viewer can still click on Browse, then click on Live Channels, then find the channel they are not interested in there and click the same button, only it actually works, I would say that some kind of bug exists.
