What was the point of removal? Did they replace it with anything? So let's say I'd like to go out shopping today and I'd like to IRL that, I can't do it anymore via twitch?

It's broken into sub categories now, but I think personally that damages discover-ability. IRL was a really saturated section, yes, but it also enabled more eyes to discover all kinds of content they wouldn't otherwise know about/search for.

Yeah that's fair. With all IRL-ers combined, the category had decent viewership to stay on the first screen, you didn't have to scroll down usually to find it. I kinda like this new concept tho, I can specifically look for the IRL category I want. IRL is a pretty big game :)

They could do the same if they had tags or filters. Imagine this, IRL section where people could add a sub-category that people could choose to filter on or off. If someone hates ASMR, they could untick a box to hide all the ASMR tagged streams, but still be open to view---

Yeah you're right, they have the tags thingy now... Hmm that might have been a better choice.

Maybe
@Twitch will listen to the feedback, it's a pretty good idea now that they have the tags.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Unless I missed something with the tags, I just like to have the option to browse irl and find all kinds of unique content. It should absolutely be tagged so we can better find certain kinds of content, but I just don't feel like many people will browse the new sub categories.

I just checked it now, feels deterring. Although it's nice that I can find what I like, that would be easily achieved with tags. I know "one click ain't so much" but overall on the browse page, it amounts to a lot since IRL won't be at the top so discovery is hurt.

Yep. It benefits the very small streamers by pushing them higher up on a category for sure (which is awesome). I think for mid-large streamers who were already high up anyway will lose viewership because now they're forced to a subcategory with substantially less traffic.
