Set email or push notifications when a channel goes live in a specific category, or with specific tags.
As a viewer, I would like to be able to receive a push notification when any streamer goes live in a certain category, or with certain tags, or both! I love finding new streamers to watch, and this would help me discover more of them.
Oftentimes, there are less popular games or categories which will have low numbers of viewers, who are very dedicated to that category. If I'm a viewer who loves an older game, I would have no idea that someone new has decided to try that game unless I already followed them (or happened to be browsing the "Discover" page at that exact moment). If I could instead set a custom push notification for myself, that would pull me in to watch when I otherwise might not have.
I know the Tags system is currently in flux as well, but I'd love if I could set a push notification for when someone goes live with certain tags, too! For example, highly specific tags relating to certain types of speedruns, gameplay formats, accessibility features, or other demographics.
Ideally, I'd want to set custom push notifications for a Category (without Tags), Category with tags, or Tags without Category!

Right now you can follow channels and get notifications when they go live. You can't, however, get notifications when games that you follow go live.
This will be very helpful for those looking to watch streams of smaller, less popular games

I currently have to open the email if I want to know if the streamer is playing a certain game. The title of the email reads 'playername just went live on Twitch'. I'd like the title to read 'playername just went live on Twitch playing game_name_here' without having to look inside.
Maybe an option for it in settings, for those who prefer?
