You literally ARE a website whose whole BUISNESS is hosting content made by creators. That is your entire premise. Any one of us, and there are MILLIONS of us, would have jumped at the chance to make thumbnails for you. Heck, you could have turned it into a showcase; rotating thumbnails, weekly or monthly, with a little note saying who drew this one. Thereby showcasing some of the talent on your site, potentially turning them into higher earners, and making things more fun and interesting.
The fact that you chose to use AI instead is a decision that is both soulless and betrays a complete and utter lack of imagination, as well as being completely divorced from what is needed to make this website continue to grow and succeed.
Be better than this.

Just wanted to update this thread that we are doing an experiment right now with Stream Display Ads! These are less disruptive ads that allow viewers to see and hear Creators while being displayed. Creators will receive ad revenue for each SDA shown. You can find out more information here: https://twitter.com/TwitchSupport/status/1603148201489580032

The idea of my hard work, all the hours I spend trying to make entertainment and earn a decent wage just to keep the lights on, being fed into a machine whose owners openly brag of their contempt for me and everything I do and salivate at the idea of replacing me, revolts me to my core.
I have been streaming on Twitch for close to a decade. I have seen ups and downs, changes galore, suffered my fair share of indignities, and still kept my nose to the grindstone. If this goes through, it may be the first thing that makes me consider stopping my usage of Twitch entirely. My labor is mine, not yours or anyone else's.
Don't do this. It will not bring you the revenue you want, and the catastrophic backlash you will get (and indeed, already are getting) will harm both the platform and your bottom lines in ways that will not show up on any balance sheet you're looking at.
LinkedIn just added a "looks like AI slop" button for reporting. Data centers are protested on every corner. Read the room. Understand where this is going, instead of just throwing the platform and its reputation onto the funeral pyre of one of the most fraudulent speculation bubbles in history. It's not too late to turn back.
