    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…

    Unfortunately, this isn't the first time we've seen problems like this. It's the blatant and unashamed breaking of the Terms of Service. TOS needs to be enforced a lot more than it is currently. It's depressing enough that the 'top creators' on the platform barely make unique content themselves.
    What's even more depressing is that they are actively trying to bend/break the rules because by playing games with the algorithms to get more views and make more money. To me, it's scummy. Live up to the title of, 'Content Creator' instead of pushing the TOS limits of the platform that supports you.
    One should strive to be a pillar in the entire streaming community. One should not build their city on the backs of others.
