If Amazon uses Twitch streams to train generative AI, there will be no Twitch streams. Stop shooting yourself.

Twitch sure is trying really hard to belittle the impact of this claiming it only affects a tiny percentage of creators... but uh... hey Twitch have you considered for even 5 seconds that there is a huge amount of overlap between that tiny percentage and the top performers on your platform? And that many people who discover these streamers later may want to go back and watch older playthroughs they have?
Case in point, last year I played the DOS version of a game that someone else had played the original version of on PC-88 4 years earlier on Twitch, which is incredibly rare to find on an English-speaking broadcast. That playthrough will just be completely gone.
For full-time streamers, 100 hours is probably barely 2 weeks of content at most.
For speedrunners, 100 hours may not cover all of their world records / personal bests (especially for longer genres like RPGs).
You are literally telling your most valuable streamers that you do not want them on your platform.
And don't play the "it turns out to not help discoverability" card. That's on you and your shoddy implementation, yet you're punishing your best creators for it.
On top of that, you haven't offered anything useful in the way of tooling to resolve this, e.g. a way to mass-download VODs, or a way to flag which highlights/uploads to KEEP (and count that towards the 100h limit) rather than forcing everyone to go through possibly thousands of pages in the video producer and delete one by one.
Maybe stop allowing decrees to come down from clueless overpaid CxOs that clearly have no idea how the internet works and yet are somehow allowed to collect an unjustifiably enormous paycheck at a *checks notes* internet services company? I bet if you fired them it'd save you more money than destroying the entire history of "less than 0.5% of streamers".

A majority of ads on web and TV apps should now have normalized sound. We are still continuing the work on this and will update the status again when it is fully complete!

Just wanted to update this thread that we are doing an experiment right now with Stream Display Ads! These are less disruptive ads that allow viewers to see and hear Creators while being displayed. Creators will receive ad revenue for each SDA shown. You can find out more information here: https://twitter.com/TwitchSupport/status/1603148201489580032

I have a better idea, give AI bros $25,000 to take a hike* and never be heard from ever again.
The last thing these talentless hack sociopaths need is a pedestal.
* putting it excessively mildly enough to not get censored in this comment box because Twitch staff are extremely fragile
