    @Sivoryn @TwitchSupport I'm sorry, I just can't, its too messed up and wrong. The fact that someone I love, would be someone disgusting like that. Honestly I would rather not know them then be friends or family with a metal gear solid fan. Its just... too unnatural. Its too much! Get help please! /j

    @TwitchSupport @zachbussey Setting doesn’t exist to opt out of in the uk! Please fix so I can opt out asap.

    @TwitchSupport That purple heart at the end does not help your case. We know you don't care, don't pretend like you do.

    @TwitchSupport Twitch hear me out. How about you scrape the AI scraper off your website? Just an idea. Creatives generally don't appreciate their work being stolen by corporations. I know I know, crazy concept but that could really lift you above the competition.

    @TwitchSupport Make this feature opt out for ALL streamers - and include a disclosure choice at the beginning of login/sign in/sign up to Twitch. With this on by default they won't notice.

    Hey @TwitchSupport — Ticket #10393010 was closed but my issue is NOT resolved. I can’t monetize my channel due to a “5 monetized accounts” flag, but I only have ONE Twitch account and have never streamed on any other. Support keeps asking me to name accounts that don’t exist. Can someone please reopen this and actually look into the account-linking issue? Please help

    @TwitchSupport This is the worst possible decision they could have made. This greed is utterly disgusting and knows no bounds. It's truly pathetic.

    @TwitchSupport Hey Twitch, I have an idea. Instead of putting out these meaningless updates to try and look cool, how about you actually fix your **** and listen to your community!?

    @TwitchSupport You are wrong, it needs to be Opt In. Fix your setting.

    @TwitchSupport Whoever decided to include any generative ai training needs to be spoken to. I think you and everyone at Twitch knew this was a terrible idea and decided to go for it anyway. Shame on you.

  • FBananapants
    FBananapants (@FBananapants) reported

    @TwitchSupport The other issue is that if I go into a streamer that hasn't OPTED out, I won't know that. I will be chatting in THEIR room, and even if I've OPTED OUT, my content chatting in their channel can be used. it's stupid.

    @RealTyrakIGuess @TwitchSupport Oh gosh this clip IS vile.. “If it was opt in nobody would opt in” well yes because no one wants their hard work and creativity stolen for AI bs

  • throwawall
    Nope. (@throwawall) reported

    @TwitchSupport “On top of all the other stupid stuff we do as a platform, we have opted you in for being robbed when you trusted us to store your work. Don’t worry though - you can opt out of continuing to be robbed in the future! Maybe. Possibly. Depends if we’ve moved the goalposts by then.”

    @TwitchSupport You absolute clowns. Dan and the Twitch staff need to be removed and replaced with actual human beings with actual human brains and intellect to fix this mess yall keep creating. Twitch used to be a fun platform for gamers, now it’s just a garbage dump site.

  • Frogglodyte
    forgglodyte (@Frogglodyte) reported

    @TwitchSupport The lack of consideration on how this is applied is extraordinarily disrespectful to the art of content creation in a widespread format. Intentionally poisoning your website and those who support it with a fad that has been proven to be unsupported will never help your platform.

    @TwitchSupport This should be off by DEFAULT!!!!! Generative AI is bad for streaming as a creative field even if you ignore all of the other problems with it, and many streamers will not see this post and will be stuck with something they don't want.

    @TwitchSupport Opt-outs help, but creators still need auditable evidence that training exclusion works.

    @SowdyPlays @TwitchSupport Do you know where they actually gifted from? Even though I'm in the US I can VPN to another country and gift from there where its super cheap to do so. There are several countries that sub at 1.49 a piece. I hope thats not the case, still a twitch issue though.

    @TwitchSupport Also it's not an option on mobile, you ******* mouthbreathing inbreds. Fix it. Eat ****

  • Zayola_
    Zayola (@Zayola_) reported

    Hello, @Twitch @TwitchSupport @djclancy999 About four months ago my Twitch channel "Zayola" was targeted by fraudulent transactions, which resulted in my account being suspended. After a manual review by your team my account was reinstated, and I believed the issue had been resolved. Since then, I have streamed for the past four months without any issues, following the Terms of Service and Community Guidelines at all times. However, I recently received another email stating that my account is being suspended for the exact same reason. I'm genuinely concerned about why this continues to happen. My only explanation is that malicious users may be purchasing subscriptions and then requesting chargebacks, inadvertently triggering your fraud detection systems. However, I have not received any Bits, unusually large numbers of Prime subscriptions, or any gifted subscription activity that would have stood out as suspicious. I have been paying close attention to my channel specifically to watch for anything unusual so that I could report it immediately if necessary. From everything I have observed, the small number of paid and gifted subscriptions I received appeared to be legitimate support from members of my community. I want to make it absolutely clear that I have never participated in, encouraged, or knowingly benefited from fraudulent activity. I don't stream for financial gain; I simply enjoy creating content and interacting with my viewers. I have been streaming for over five years and have worked hard to build a community. I fully understand Twitch's rules and have always done my best to comply with them. I fully support the removal of any funds from my payouts if they are determined to be connected to fraudulent activity. I am also more than willing to provide any information necessary to demonstrate that I have not engaged in or knowingly benefited from any fraudulent behavior. I respectfully ask that you please investigate this matter. I simply want the opportunity to continue streaming and engaging with the community I have spent years building. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in identifying and preventing malicious users from repeatedly and intentionally targeting my channel.

    @TwitchSupport Can someone help me with this problem I have? My account was suspended, but my appeal was approved, but many weeks later I still can't login as the mechanism that prevents me from doing so without changing my Username is still active. It's been about 2 months now.

    @theshuzu @JayViperTV @TwitchSupport You can just opt out. Whats the issue. Its 1 button dude.

    @TwitchSupport Funny how I didn't get a notification about this. You just quietly turned this on by default hoping so you can steal the work of people who aren't aware of it

  • MidinVal
    Midnights in Valhalla | VRChat's Nightly Bartender (@MidinVal) reported

    @ambearleevtuber @TwitchSupport The biggest issue is that eventually other places will do it too, you're not safe and then what they'll do is just have it on and you can't change it down that road even though you swore to have had it off.
