The removal of the previously pre-set list of tags to choose from was definitely not the way to go.

Having custom tags is great for a number of reasons such as having a niche/indie stream, but removing the preceding list and the ability to easily choose pre-determined tags only makes things unnecessarily inconvenient for people who were perfectly fine with the tags that were available before.

Now it adds just that much more time to setting up a stream by having to write every tag in its entirety. It also affects streamers who do things like speedruns because now they can't use the % symbol since special characters aren't allowed in tags now, despite "100%" being listed in the, still viewable, list of Twitch tags, that has apparently been abandoned.

Extraordinarily backwards approach to things.

Please bring back the old tags list, to be used in addition to the current custom tags. Perhaps something like 3-5 custom, and 5-7 pre-determined tags?
