Hi, thanks for flagging this and sharing your suggestion.
We share and understand your concerns about how the intentional, repeated misuse of tags can undermine the purpose of the tags product itself. Tags are an important discoverability feature for communities, and a powerful way for all Creators—but especially those that are underrepresented—to express their personal identity and creative vision for their content.
We also do not feel Twitch should be the judge of Creators’ personal or creative identity, so we typically only enforce against the misuse of tags when it is associated with other behavior that violates our Community Guidelines such as hateful conduct or harassment.
That said, as the VTuber community’s experience demonstrates, there are limitations to this approach and we are actively investigating additional steps we can take to protect and improve the integrity of the tags feature at scale, without infringing on good faith Creators’ personal choice…

Even after the "rework" twitch made on tags, the vtuber tag is widely abused. Thanks for nothing Twitch.

You have literally the largest names in twitch abusing this to force themselves at the top of multiple tag lists.
Just today Hasan and Mizkif were doing it as well and yesterday it was XQC and Amouranth.

Why in the 9 hells are LILY PICHU ads running on small channels? There is literally 0 point for a channel with 20 or fewer concurrent viewers to ever have ADS, especially ADS that promotes larger streamers.

As stated by Marina months ago, the ever-climbing rise of people abusing the VTUBER tag that has gone unpunished only adds to the ever-growing issues this presented when this first began.
The ability for VTUBER's to be discovered is being hindered by non-VTUBER's abusing and misusing the tag for personal gain. This is not only seen at the highest levels of viewership on Twitch, but at the lower viewer counts as well.
The reason why this has been such an issue is because of the larger-scale streamers getting away with it without so much as a warning to stop. Thus, creating thousands of others taking the opportunity to follow in their footsteps which completely oversaturates the VTUBER tag with people who are not VTUBE'ing.
