Just wanted to update this thread that we are doing an experiment right now with Stream Display Ads! These are less disruptive ads that allow viewers to see and hear Creators while being displayed. Creators will receive ad revenue for each SDA shown. You can find out more information here: https://twitter.com/TwitchSupport/status/1603148201489580032

A majority of ads on web and TV apps should now have normalized sound. We are still continuing the work on this and will update the status again when it is fully complete!

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…

Tags were originally created to promote diverse groups on Twitch - via languages, ethnicity, sexual orientation, preferences, and now streaming styles, to help viewers and fellow streamers find those with similar tastes or belonging in similar groups. That people are now using a tag ONLY FOR VIEWS or whatever is the "meta tag" destroys such a function, perhaps permanently, as Twitch's official reaction sets off a precedent. What if people just pile into tags of languages, such as Chinese or Arabic or Spanish, just because they see those with the tag be popular? What about the LGBTQIA+ community? It ruins the entire functionality and hinders Twitch, not just as a community but also as a corporation and a form of social media.
