This isn't a warning so much as an observation of what will occur, because let's be real: if you knew anything about your community, you never would have made this move in the first place.
This move will destroy Twitch as a platform.
By even suggesting this feature, you have eradicated any trust you had from the community. Even if you backpedal on everything AI, we will forever be watching with our eyes peeled for anything that looks too smooth or conceptually homogeneous, if we even continue watching at all.
The fact is, your transparent attempt to force this upon us by leveraging your near monopolistic position will fail.
You think you have us by the balls because so many of us rely on your platform for income, but what's going to happen is viewership will crash, the streamers will disappear to other sites, other jobs, and/or poverty, and you will be left with a shrunken husk of a service populated by nothing but techbro sociopaths, their mindless sychophants, and a giant ant farm of useless bots clogging up your servers congratulating each other.
You know, like Twitter.
