Laurie (@lauriethetimm) reported@TwitchSupport so you "respect our privacy", but by default all our privacy and work and art goes straight to feeding a soulless machine that eats our planet's resources? this should be opt in, not opt out. yikes!

Mormo 🌙🦴 VeXpo 2026⬅️ | Wolf Vtuber | (@MormoFaust) reported@TwitchSupport Why release it!? no one wants it. Also to have it on my default is slimy as hell. This doesn't help anyone but yourself. AI is destroying the planet and it is not needed.

Zayola (@Zayola_) reportedHello, @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.

ZoReee (@ZoReeeVT) reported@EnzioArgento @TwitchSupport Problem is you can't prove they're using you material no matter if you click the box or not and at most legal related things would just be a fine they have to pay that Amazon has calculated being an acceptable loss. Basically they might as well have said "we're doing this fck you

Fajar M Reza (@FReza1984) reported@TwitchSupport Opt-outs help, but creators still need auditable evidence that training exclusion works.

E (@S3ldom) reported@TwitchSupport Speed running to worst company again are we ?
-
💥 𝐀𝐑𝐊 💥 (@SkinkTank2) reported@TwitchSupport So like, I can't help but notice that the option to opt out says it doesn't opt out of what is in the TOS or whatever, but then looking at that, it says our data is being used for generative AI. What exactly are being *allowed* to opt out of? I'd like to opt out of all of it.

RyZon (@RyZon360) reported@TwitchSupport Crazy how you can put this awful implementation, but no improving anything good like for example pre roll adds when you start watching any livestream. And not only that but imagine all the people that don’t get to see your tweet, they will have this turn on by default
-
Big Dumbo (@LstBrainCell45) reported@umapalma01 @TheRauyne @TwitchSupport I’m curious how you believe you hold the moral high ground here when your own logic mirrors the worst parts of human history.
-
UndeadBrave 💀 (@UndeadBrave) reported@TwitchSupport Having this be on by default is ******* awful. No one wanted this when you first announced it and no one wants it now.
-
Medic (@ILostMyMedic) reported@DoodlingMonkey @Twitch @TwitchSupport You have installed a thirdparty extension that compares two unrelated numbers and pointing your finger at Twitch. That was the problem 10 years ago, and it’s still the same problem today. People have refused to listen since because it doesn’t suit their narrative.
-
Roger Stiller (@Roger_Stiller_) reported@TwitchSupport Maybe before making these additions, you should fix what's still broken. Thanks for cutting my viewer counter in half today too. Meanwhile, a bunch of channels were having viewbotting enabled with complete impunity. GG @Twitch
-
Gamers Vlog (@GamersVlog) reported@StormslayerDev @TwitchSupport please fix his account. Bots can not take the place of moderation.
-
Descina (@sanquisdragon) reported@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.

⌜Retrofuture *****⌟ (@Malicious_Hero) reported@TwitchSupport Why isnt it THE DEFAULT?! This is terrible.
-
Ente 🔜 EF30 (@Entenschaf) reported@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.

M3L (@M3L_Does_News) reported@airbagg3d @Twitch @TwitchSupport He has enough money to not work the rest of his life all while you sit here moaning for them to keep him banned. Lmao, la la la loserrr
