I vehemently oppose this, and will advocate to boycott and migrate off of the service if it continues to be presented as an inevitable feature, regardless of how Twitch attempts to make it palatable.
The untrained eye is getting better at spotting deep fake or generative material(Notice how I refuse to call it content), and consumer fatigue is rolling over pretty quickly into active malfeasance and open revolt. Your investors do not know what the average user wants. You yourselves, do not seem to know what the average user wants. Creatives who's livelihood are hurt by these predatory business practices have already had a tenuous foundation of trust with this platform for years BEFORE being told their work will likely be stolen and regurgitated back out by a learning model.
And what? Twitch wants to paint it as charitable and gracious that they are 'giving content creators the option' to opt out of the scraping? They may as well tell anyone partnered that their value has been expended and their free ride has run its course like the actual tech elite do and stop masquerading as community first.
I do not buy for a moment that opting into or out of such a feature will offer any protections for any content creators on this platform by the way. If anyone is reading through this and they go forward I would honestly file a legal motion for them to produce evidence that they are deleting your content off the platform if you decide to go scorched earth on the way out.
