Hi, I know that this is a very late response, but we’re hoping to find time to address this issue later this year. There are a few steps we’ll have to take to solve this problem in a way that will work for all streamers, but we understand the severity of the issue.

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…

This is blatant abuse of the tag and if that is allowed what is the purpose of tags? why use any at all? supposedly tags are for helping people to find content but when it’s allowed to be grossly manipulated by larger IRL streamers who aren’t even vtubers who does this cause detriment to? It causes a detriment to other streamers & large streamers/**** streamers etc have NO issues with visibility, but the recommends will further affect ACTUAL vtuber streamers AND it affects the bottom line for Twitch and it’s viewers over time; dislocation of viewers who are interested in and looking at finding actual vtubers.
