    If this feature/software had any real faith in it from the corporate bozos pushing it, it would be sold instead of forcing people to have opt-in as a default without any warning. That part should be so obvious, so I will state it again. These capitalist dogs would be selling this scam software if they had any real faith in it. Forcing it in is taking the lack of morals of capitalism with the artificial inevitability drive of fascism.
    With the way the "training" (read: plagiarism) posits to work, it should only be opt-in for people who choose to go partner, or potentially affiliate. Those contracts already involve name and image of a streamer being used by twitch, so forcing it onto even streamers who choose not to go affiliate and partner is nonsensical. Is the next step putting ads on brand new streamers channels? Because this is equivalently asinine and anti-user in that regard.

    It's also incredibly anti-community, as now who will want to collaborate with someone that they don't know for sure has switched to opt-out? Who will want to chat in a stream where they don't know for sure the channel owner has chosen to opt-out?
    I'm already someone who lurks in others streams, and this makes me want to keep it that way instead of actually try to converse with others. It's going to turn a very social platform into an anti-social one.

    EDIT: It should be noted that this feature has been active on youtube streaming for quite a while and that is the reason a lot of people choose to stream on twitch instead of youtube. All the people involved in the approval process for this idea not realizing that fact are clearly too incapable of realizing the values of their platform and I would strongly encourage that if they have any integrity or pride in themselves at all to step down and go work at google instead.
