    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…

    Vtuber tag is meant for people who are actually Vtubing!!! As a Vtuber, it meant alot to so many and myself when we got a tag for us to use. It helped users who wanted to find Vtubers actually find use. We are a growing market and people are now ABUSING this tag to leech and get views. This includes big streamers like Xqx, Amouranth, Mizkif. There's also been a rise of "ASMR" artist like ElisebeteTV who are using it and then slandering Vtubers by calling them p*dos.
    Vtuber tag is for those using a png, 3-D, or 2D model..not for live cams as that is not the definition of a Vtuber.
    This trend of abusing the use of this tag (amongst others) is going to far and needs to stop
