MVC Tag helpers not working

FOUND IT! Lord, Microsoft like to change things. So, MVC 6 (asp.net core ...etc) can make use of a _ViewImports.cshtml file in the views folder (feel free to add it yourself if you like me made a project before this existed).

This acts like global import file, and to make the tag helpers available in all your views, you need to add reference here.

Mine now looks like this:

@using Mobile.Models
@addTagHelper *, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers

And boom - tags look correct and its work as expected. Thanks for nothing Microsoft!
