Exclusion list of tags when browsing
I love being able to browse when I'm bored, but I would love to see an option to exclude (and save) certain tags.
For example: "Sports game"
I know that I will never be interested in Sports games, so having the option to exclude those would be so much easier than clicking each and every sports game to go "Not interested".
Of course there would need to be an option to see and edit such a saved list, so people could remove tags from their exclusion list if they change their minds.

You'll never get this feature because Twitch wants to help force things like LGBTQIA+ on everybody even if the users don't want to see it.

Just wanting to double check I understand what you mean. You mean instead of searching for only streams that have a tag only search for streams that do not have a tag.
An exclusive search instead of an inclusive search. -

I mainly watch Twitch for gaming so I am generally not interested in a lot of these new tags. Being able to filter some of them out would be very useful. As a Roman Catholic, the LGBTQIA+ tag, and other related tags, represent what is contrary to my morals, and I generally want to avoid environments that support it.

i didnt see the this idea so i post, idk why there still is no posibility to search without specific tag. If there are tags and u can search for them, there should be already option to search without them, it sometimes is more usefull searching option then searching with specific tagtag

With the new batch of tags came a new problem and that's finding tags to use to mark your stream with.
I don't necessarily know the names for the tags that I might find appropriate for my stream, especially when switching to a game I haven't played yet on Twitch, and so I tend to scroll through the list of tags. The ~350 new tags make up around 50% of all usable tags and makes this process quite tedious.
What would be nice is tag groupings besides just Stream, Category, and Automatic on the list of tags that can be toggled on or off since, as it stands, Stream is the only set that actually can be applied and therefore the only ones worth searching through. Having this capability in the Stream Manager would also be very helpful since there is less screen space devoted to it and the descriptions are only available as tooltips.

Please, allow people like me who want to block streamers with specific tags like: LGBTQA+, all sorts of mental illnesses, ASMR, BLM, etc. I want to remove all these people from my recommendations and don't want them to show up in my feed.

There should be a way to permanently remove tags from view. Such as "politics" or etc.

Fully agree, because even the bowser extension that does this can't see the full list of tags on every stream, only the ones that show up in the one line on directory pages. It'd be very useful to have this functionality in the mobile apps as well.

Following the upcoming change with new tags, I want to filter out tags when opening up the category.
Not filter them in. For example. I don't wanna watch speedruns of dark souls but other kinds of streams. So allows us to filter streams out.aka. I open the category. I select not interested and set tags I don't want to see.

Hello, Twitch Team!
As of lately I've started to feel the need of being able to selectively disallow specific tags that either turn me off or I've got no interest in them whatsoever. It seems that no matter how many times I try to sift out channels with certain stamps more content creators with such labels take their place and even though I've allowed cookies they don't seem to be able to determine what I like and what I don't based on the "Not Interested" option I quite frankly happen to use more and more these days.
The same goes for categories. I'd like to be able to manually block categories as well as tags associated with stuff I don't really care about.
If you could maybe implement some feature/features that pick up my interests and don't allow channels with certain tags to pop up constantly in my Twitch feed that would be awesome.
I hope that you'll take my suggestion into account or at least give me feedback on how to do it myself without any of you having to go through the trouble of doing more changes to the platform.Thanks in advance!

An option to filter out certain tags on our own will help us make our feeds more personalized. Like for example if someone does not want to see "PvP" they could put it manually into an ignore list and it will filter out feeds with that tag in it.

For an example we should be given for let's say games the ability to browse by filtering out streams with certain tags. I would like to be to search for blind playthroughs and ones on hard mode. But the streamers don't always have it in the title.

Hi!
Twitch has lots of tags and channels.
You did a great thing that we can see some small channels at the "Discover" page, but manual deleting of those is not that good.
My idea:
1) Create somewhere in user settings that list which I mentioned before;
2) Allow to manually add tags and games which a user want to see;Therefore, those tags and games which weren't added would be ignored.
Thank you.
P.S. Would be great if you will allow resizing of the text area where people write their ideas. Thanks.
