Twitch has added numerous tags for mental health and chronic health conditions, there needs to be an HIV tag added to this.

Stigma around HIV is a huge issue that can only be fought through education and awareness around HIV. It would be hugely helpful to have a tag for creators who are HIV positive to communicate that fact and provide space for others who need support or information.

I am making this rather than voting for the pre-existing user Voice because I very explicitly do not want or think we need a POZ or AIDS tag. In my opinion poz as a euphemism for HIV+ is born out of stigma and does not help reduce it. Meanwhile and AIDS tag would only contribute to the misinformation and confusion about the difference between HIV and AIDS.

We needs an HIV+ tag.

The Mortal Kombat categories featured on twitch are inaccurate & should be fixed. It is one of the most iconic & recognized franchises in the video game industry & deserves accurate extensions on the platform.
The original Mortal Kombat, which released in Oct 1992 doesn't even have it's own category. It's absent. I'm assuming so the 2011 remake could replace its spot. While categories such as the ever popular Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe: Silver Shield Combo Pack (a copy of the base game boxed with a bonus blu ray of the original live action film) & Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Gold 2000 (a cheap 16 bit rom hack) exist in the categories. Can we please fix this? Maybe add a small "remake" at the end of the 2011 title so you can recognize the original? A list of the MK titles in order of release is included below. Thank you.

Shiny hunting is a huge part of the Pokémon community here on Twitch and has been for many years. In the past it was easy enough to type 'shiny hunting' into the main search bar and a list of relevant streams would pop up. However, With the current Twitch algorithm and layout changes it has now become very difficult to find live streams dedicated to shiny hunting specifically. This is particularly true in older game/generation categories as Shiny hunting streams get lost amongst Nuzlocks and lets plays etc. The only medium to tell if a channel is streaming shiny hunting is through the title. This would be great apart from the fact only the 1st 30-40 characters are visible to viewers from the game category/home pages. This means viewers have to browse through channels and spend time in them to even find out if the content is relevant to them.

As an avid shiny stream viewer, myself I know I have been frustrated by these issues. Therefore, I present the idea of a 'Shiny Hunting' tag. This would solve all the issues listed above and would allow viewers to access the specific content they want to with ease while browsing and searching Twitch.

Every year twitch celebrates diversity on the platform with AAPI heritage month, Hispanic heritage month, Black history month, woman's history month, pride month, etc.

I as well as other Arab streamers were really looking forward to celebration of Arabs or Muslims this year because Arab American heritage month lined up almost perfectly with Ramadan this year!

I was really hoping to be able to discover other Arab streamers on the platform in April or have at least one of Muslim's only two holidays (Ramadan or Eid) or Arab's heritage month to be recognized and celebrated on Twitch's front page.

I hope that we can continue to celebrate everyone's differences together by adding this feature to the platform!

Categories as they are are a bother to search through. Looking for Pokémon games? Well, look through all these people that have "pokémon" in their names, then all over these streams that might not be for Pokémon!

Categories nesting with Sub-Categories could change this altogether. Let's say we would want to look for Pokémon games. We'd type "Pokémon", head into the "Pokémon" category and look at all the streamers doing different games. If we want some more precision into the category, different sub-categories like "Mystery Dungeon" or "Main Titles" could work, so on and so forth until you reach the "end" of that branch.

This would go like "Pokémon" > "Mystery Dungeon" > "Rescue Team DX", for example.

But the wonderful thing about this, is that it doesn't restrict itself to games.

For example, "Creative", can behave like "Creative" > "Pottery", or "Technology" > "Programming", instead of the smaller tags that people use less (or that don't exist in the first place)!

These kinds of categories could make looking for a particular type of niche that much faster, as well as condense some of the game categories into much more agreeable to see for the viewer, and much more discoverable for the smaller streamer.

You could also check the global interest in single games or whole franchises by sorting them into full nested categories (like "Pokémon", "Zelda", "The Elder Scrolls", "Final Fantasy", for example), or by "individual category", like Twitch usually does.
