Every video here is tagged through an automated pipeline that reads the title and any existing metadata, then assigns tags and a category from a fixed, curated vocabulary — not invented freely per video, which is what keeps browsing by tag genuinely useful instead of fragmented across dozens of near-duplicate labels.
The performer-name rule
If a performer’s name is identifiable in a video’s title, it always gets tagged as a performer tag — this is treated as higher priority than generic content tags, since it’s what makes finding a specific performer’s full catalog actually reliable.
Why a fixed vocabulary, not free-form tags
Free-form tagging tends to produce spelling variants of the same concept — “ts on ts” vs “trans on trans” vs “tsonts” all meaning the same thing but splitting what should be one unified category into three thin ones. A controlled vocabulary avoids that entirely.
This runs continuously
As new content arrives, it goes through this same process — nothing sits untagged waiting on a manual review pass.
