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" aight, in the mean time your smaller creators lose on potential growth AND finances. But that's okay, whale sized creators bring in a lot of money right? Wonder how quickly that'd change if all the vtubers decided to bail ship.

To be honest, I get it. You don't want to insult your whales, what would you do without their money? How would you survive?
I ask myself the same thing now that I'm on month two of no payout for not reaching a 100$ usd and unable to work due to my health...maybe tags should be available for those in those categories and not just used to support your cash cows. I don't even have two loonies to rub together right now, lawdy.

My content is still smothered with ads and yet the things that help people find my content are still clogged by people abusing the tag. Gunna have to quit soon if it doesn't pick up.
