Change Youtube tag into "copyright" category

It always bugged me to see Youtube remains as a "general" tag despite how big it is nowadays, and also due to the fact that other video sharing sites such as Twitch, Bilibili, and Niconico had their tag categorized as a "copyright". So I hope this will change.

I frankly would rather go the other way. I've spoken about Twitch being a bad copyright tag before and think they should all be moved to gen tags.

Why would youtube need to be a copyright tag when its primary used for the video player and website layout? It would only invite the same mistags as Twitch where random vtubers who stream there get tagged with it.

Copytags usually have a character associated with them. Bilibili and Niconico both have mascots, but Twitch and Youtube don't, that I've ever heard of, so Twitch should really be a general tag.

twitch.tv copytags:1 posts need to have a different copytags assigned before it can be turned into a gentag. Some of them appear to be content creators with an avatar that don't count as vtubers, like post #4368693. Not sure what to tag those with.

indie_streamer, analogous to indie_virtual_youtuber? I wouldn’t mind lumping them under original, though, just like most of the artist self-inserts and fictional personas.

Either original or real life would make sense, honestly, depending on the streamer.

In that image's case, the second image of the character is tagged original instead of twitch. Looking at other characters in both Twitch and vrchat, which has a similar issue of peoples' OC avatars being tagged, there's several tagged Original alongside the copytag. There're even Hololive characters being tagged. People are using these tags to mark where the person streams pretty often.

Almost every one of the Hololive images with the twitch tag are emote parodies, the only exceptions being post #4208145 which parodies the layout from a twitch event and post #4112809, which has the logo in it.

I'm not overly familiar with Twitch emotes, so I'm not sure what emote post #4118465 is. I can spot the pogchamp ones but am lost on the rest.

AYAYA (hence the kin-iro mosaic tag)
