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…
I agree. The FireTV update really messed up the experience. You can no longer comment on the app either. I use my FireTV as the main way to watch Twitch. So now searching through the menu's are more difficult, finding my own followed content is harder, and it directs me to the phone app for commenting. Which is a jarring experience because the app runs the stream at the same time but usually there's a time difference of a few seconds between the two.
