Subscriber is the same.
To me it doesn’t matter as I use badges to determine role instead of these booleans.
So mod/subscriber/vip booleans I just ignore.
So I parse the badges into a object and test for the present of the vip key in the badges object.
So the presence/non presense is irrelevant to me
I floated this as a query - VIP boolean tag is inconsistent with mod and other "common" tags · Issue #668 · twitchdev/issues · GitHub
Sure would be “nicer” if faley tags omiited to save a smidge of bandwidth. But irrelevant to me either way
