This feature has shown so much promise in the channels that understood how it worked. It is Twitch's job to educate and promote features to users, but in spite of Twitch, many creators made it work for them and their communities to great effect. Seeing this feature be so successful, many creators (myself included), eagerly awaited the feature being released to a broader audience. It is Twitch's job to make these features available to creators in order to judge their viability, but like so many times before, valuable features are sunsetted before they ever have a chance to see success.
The benefit of moments is with user retention, interaction, and engagement. It gives viewers a reason to stay around, to come back, and to get excited to share great moments with the community. The only reason I can think to remove this feature is because it wasn't monetizable. If this feature does get removed, it will strongly and decisively reinforce the idea that Twitch has no interest in supporting creator engagement tools, because you have a feature here that has a proven track record to work that you are killing while people are demonstrably excited about it.
It only takes a few minutes to scan through the replies to *Twitch's own tweet* about removing this feature to see that everybody falls into one of two camps: 1) people who are heartbroken that a good feature would be removed, or 2) people who didn't even know this feature existed. Both of these are exhausting and all-to-familiar unforced errors on Twitch's part, which is only more disappointing because all you would have to do to make everybody happy is roll out the feature to the other 95% of the platform who are or would be excited to use it.

I'm so ******* sick of AI features being crammed down my throat everywhere I go. I don't want to opt out. I want everybody to stop burning money on generative AI, and I want every single person involved it trying to push it into every facet of my life to get fired. Out of a cannon. Into the sun.
I am a Twitch streamer, a moderately successful one, and I will burn everything I have created to the ground if you ruin this platform with your ******* slop. Nobody wants this ****. Nobody is asking for this. Stop pretending that if you just jam it into every product that people will finally be forced to accept it. We won't.
Christ, it is embarrassing to have hitched my wagon to this awful website.
