Stop using your creator’s content for generative AI
I will be canceling almost all my subscriptions and will cease use of the Twitch platform indefinitely. This new gen ai policy of using creator’s content for training is very disappointing to see. I will not be returning and will find other ways to support the creators I follow.

At the very least this should default to opt out. And yet we know Twitch knows no one will opt in:

"No one would opt in" should tell you it was a bad idea for anything other than your bottom line.
"Everyone else is doing it" is not a reason to do the wrong thing.

I have also canceled all of my subscriptions. There is no excuse for Twitch to implement this at all, let alone having it on by default.
Twitch's own Chief Product Officer, Mike Minton, directly stated that the reason it is on by default is because if it was opt-in, "no one would opt-in."
If no one would opt-in, don't implement the service. It's painful that this needs to be spelled out to these fools.
