WITCH.IO   nice

While one can argue for a  policy of positive searching on a defacto non commercial platform, this exposes the flaw of tagging, or the algorithm that thinks this is popular - or , shockingly, the taste of many itch users.

Yeah,  itch is not a non commercial platform, but the abundance of stuff is donation-ware and most so called indie devs are not even indie, but hobby.  They are amateurs. Real indie devs are professionals, but they just do not work for a big gaming studio. It is like calling a blogger a freelance journalist or a youtuber an   indie movie studio.

And I think it is not a policy thing, but does just not fit in the existing structure. That structure would include accurate tags. 

I for one do not use that feature at all. I do search "positive". Mostly with similar games, recommendations (that is why I asked if it would trigger that), and global feed.
