I’m really sorry to say it, but if your response to Twitch feeding your streams to AI training is “I’m moving to a different platform”, you’re extremely naive and directing your attention incorrectly. YouTube, or whatever other platform you upload your stuff on, will either scrape your content directly, or have it scraped by a third party. If you upload something to the internet, it will be used without your consent to train AI, no matter where you upload it. If you think there is a way to avoid this from happening, you’re naive, or at most, delaying the inevitable. If you’re not ok with that, you have 2 options: 1 (the wrong one): give up on creating. 2 (the right one): push for legislation and larger scale control over generative AI and the training of AI models. The only way to prevent this from happening is to make a larger effort against the entirety of generative AI. Complaining at one of the hundreds of tech companies using it isn’t gonna get you anywhere. We need to tackle it at the source. Twitch, YouTube, or any other big content hosting platform aren’t going to change anything, because they know you realistically don’t have any alternatives. The only way to get them to change is if they’re forced to. Direct your attention to those who can apply that force.

@saincisco Kirby being the embodiment of all that is good and having infinite power kind of implies his presence among vtubers is a matter of good taste.

Kirby to vtubers in a nutshell

@J4ckl_Nekomata You can do this!

@LycaTrystine thanks, I'm gonna keep pushing myself to get better

I'm in that depressed slump of wondering why I still stream, but then also I tell myself I have fun playing my games. My audience in streams is practically nonexistent, but at least I make one person smile. I gotta keep trying

I hope this doesn't happen, but I do plan on streaming, so rather than wait, I'll give my take on this now. Yeah, AI has been pushed into Twitch alternatives already, with some options to opt out. But you can't expect people to like a company training a chat bot to replace them.

@saincisco Happy birthday :3

Balloons! It's my Birthday! 🎈

YouTube has begun their AI slop purge, with over 130,000 AI content farm channels being deleted in 6 months

@ChonkyLotus Apparently is a good technicality because there are enough streamers with massive influence to really push a boycott or even the threat of one.

Not staying quiet about this. First of all, Zach says "apparently" which gives me hopes that if there is enough push back, it will not come to be a real thing Second of all, my dissapointment grows larger and larger for this platform I once claimed to love and be passionate about. Heck, at one point I dreamt about becoming a Twitch Ambassador. Lastly, if any of my mutuals or followers likes the idea of Twitch using our streams to train their garbarge inteligence, please unfollow me. You don't even have to tell me about it. Just go

@nellohead 🫡

@LycaTrystine Report that to Gordon

SEE IT, REPORT IT 🎨 bunbunpapitovt

@Ayngull Are you hitting mad drifts in the middle of your streams?

If you've never been to my streams this is pretty much what happens in each one 🤣

@BoltsTheMech Also kind of funny because you can bet they went with whatever the Japanese pronunciation was so they would technically be right.

The Name Is FUNNY

@BittlesToon Did you do the egg face paint thing or do toons not have to do that?

@AdfreeVT Once as people hit 21, they split their self preservation skills into two groups.

We really gotta go over stranger danger rules again, guys.

WHY DO SO MANY OF YOU WANT TO ENTER MY WINDOWLESS WHITE VAN!?

@Melony_TheMelon My fingernails are like claws, so... I won't, but I'm flattered that I'm allowed one.

You are granted one slap!☝️ 🍈

@JaxVTuber I'm still making Homestuck OCs, so... this was really cool to see.

I accidentally caused psychic damage to all of VTubing 😔

@Cylinks_OwO Goober. I wouldn't say it's something you get over so much as you have to drag yourself kicking and screaming into it.

Idk why but I am still really shy do you ever get over it ?

@hiokleo I'm probably not the best for it because I'm desensitized to horror games.

Do you want me to play horror games with you? We can grab some snacks and get cozy blankets!

@YomiQuinnley You can't make me.

She's not cute, stop saying she is.

@J4ckl_Nekomata I'm pretty sure that tracks.

Of course you do, girl lmao
