there are also v-tubers who stream without being a v-tuber and is like.. im not changing my tag for that 1 time, like there are many people i know who stream IRL but another day they stream a game.. so thats not IRL.. does that mean they need to get rid of the IRL tag when they stream a game? i dont think so. and i think that it happens like this lots of times.

I agree that accurate tags make a big difference in helping people discover the content and communities they’re actually looking for. I’ve noticed something similar when exploring fashion communities—brands such as Knox Rose can be much easier to discover when clothing styles and categories are clearly labeled. Better organization and relevant tagging can improve the experience for both creators and audiences.

Great suggestion! Tag misuse undermines VTuber discoverability for both creators and viewers. Twitch should enforce bans on verified abusers while respecting good faith creative expression. Just as Elite PR Movers protects belongings with precision during moves, Twitch must safeguard the tags system integrity for fair streaming. https://eliteprmovers.com

No one 'draws an audience' from their tags alone. Yes I as a viewer can find someone based on tags, but its not like I'm stuck there and have to watch because they had the tag. Categories, tags, and any other search method is a way for a viewer to parse the numbers down but there is -always- irrelevant results. In those cases the search continues.

If I search for a tag wanting to find creators making that content AND I find a streamer AND I like their content only then do I stay. That is the way an audience is built.

DenpaYurei_EN I responding to their use of "normal people"; I didn't bring politics into this as what they've posted is purely political and unrelated to LGBTQ+. Their posts have been purely in regard to criticism of a certain country - and my request for proof was regarding actual clips of streamers doing what they're accused of. Basically I was doing literally the opposite of a Kirsche/Rev viewer. And this thread is not the place for that, as in what they posted. Friendly fire much?

I think you confused xethaphyr's weird post for itsaboringname, and I'm in agreement with itsaboringname. We ARE underrepresented AND generally ignored by Twitch. Often a lot of us are just permabanned from bot reports. It's legitimately worrisome.

NoctisVT, I don't think using the term "normal people" appropriate. You just sound like an average Kirsche/Rev viewer. If xethaphyr doesn't feel safe about a certain issue, the individual has full right to post on any thread that would give their concerns attention. Especially when it regards safety reasons. Being LGBTQ+ has nothing to do with politics. If being LGBTQ+ is the cause of their safety, and they're in literal danger then let them post their concerns. If you had any concerns over safety you'd also be posting things in multiple threads. Leave them alone.

xethaphyr Without getting into politics; This is neither the place nor topic to discuss this. Additionally, you have to have proof of your claim - and not a short out-of-context clips criticizing a certain country. Finally, ending your post with all caps makes you sound... affected. Calm down, stop posting this on multiple support topics: "normal people" don't do this.

xethaphyr . this isn't a related idea. you are right to
post your concerns but you need a user voice ticket.... and... what proof do you have?

Keep everything about gaming, have fun, and open for everyone

Twitch has become a breeding ground for antisemitism and extremist rhetoric. Streamers openly promote hate against Jewish communities, and disturbingly, Twitch’s leadership, Dan Clancy, has tolerated this by promoting these antisemitic creators. Ad revenue is falling drastically, big creators are being paid much less for ad runtime because the CEO, Dan Clancy, is making Twitch an un-advertisable hellscape, and it's only going to get worse. There are over 15,000 signatures for a petition to remove him and growing every single day. Normal people do not support this rhetoric. I will never give a cent of my money to Twitch/Amazon until the domestic terror problem is fixed on your platform. We all remember when Dan Clancy's poster boy Hasan incited to kill Rick Scott.

ADVERTISERS ARE FLEEING IN DROVES. DROP DAN CLANCY.

"but especially those that are underrepresented—to express their personal identity and creative vision"

except if they're queer.

Using tags like 'Vtuber' on unrelated content can mislead viewers looking for genuine Vtuber content. It's important to use tags by https://animalop.com/accurately to respect the community and improve content discoverability

the misuse of hashtags or irrelevent hashtags may be derank your account as it is a major fact to effect your account although if you have hashtags from https://kms-full.com/.

They don't care to enforce their own rules regarding intentional game miscategorization, either.

It is important to note that the misuse of tags may be considered a violation of Twitch platform policies.

I am new here, can i ask a question?

The simple solution would be to do a 1 minute scan of the video to see if it contains a png model, 2d model, or 3d model; and if it doesn't, then strike that creator for misuse of the tag.
This response is basically Twitch saying "We don't care if e-girl thots misuse the tag because they make us money and we don't want to **** them off."

Category is not a tag, and that's not how category works.

Category is about the content not the streamer itself.

You know, Kick.com has a V-tuber category on the site.

The "fix" is already done people, the moment Twitch gave everyone the ability to put whatever tag they want, they made it clear they don't care about tags anymore.
