    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…

    "Later this year", when you can reach out to big streamers who are known offenders, via official channels, and tell them that they shouldn't be misusing the VTuber tag like they currently are.

    I appreciate that writing code takes time, but you already have rules in place that you can and should enforce now.

    Letting facecam-only streamers use the VTuber tag really defeats the purpose of having the tag in the first place. Besides, it's against TOS for them to be using it. Don't just ignore them because of the money they're making you.
