Opt-in by default is, by design, exploitative of ignorance and intentionally manipulative. It is systemic manipulation and disincentivizes clear communication.
If AI use, such as using created and streamed content to train any AI systems is implemented by default, then I will not stream to Twitch any longer, and I will not use it as a customer platform either. Google and YouTube are bad, but there are other alternatives to Twitch.
Twitch is struggling enough to maintain consistent viewership without implementing changes that would drive away tech-aware and educated customers and content creators. Those that use Twitch deserve to maintain full control of their content and should opt-in to programs that use their content IF AND ONLY IF they agree with the scope and intent of those programs.
Doing anything as opt-in by default makes ABS, AMAZON, and TWITCH all look shady and deepens the impression that they are exploitative and consent-averse, willing to cut any corner and betray any trust if they see an ounce of profit in it.
