The Decision That Changed Everything For Me

[Ashni @ashnichrist]

Twitch will use your streams to train AI.

@zachbussey leaked this info. He's a great resource for streaming news.

My role is to help you understand what news actually matters, and what it means for you / the industry.

So here's what you need to know:

Your stream data is incredibly valuable.

Livestream data is some of the most valuable for training AI.

- It's multimodal (video, audio, text chat) which is very in-demand in the data market
- It's social data. Real people interacting with each other teaches models to engage socially and have personalities (ai is very bad at this rn)
- It's unscripted. The same reason Reddit data is so valuable: it's real
- There is a lot of it. Millions of streamers, billions of hours of data

Here's what Twitch will (probably) use this data for.

None of this is confirmed, but we can make assumptions.

1. Generic foundation model training. This is boring & low stakes, these already exist and don't really hurt you

2. Livestream-specific products like auto-highlights / clips, moderation, streamer co-pilot tools, etc. They want to keep streamers & not make y'all use other tools in this category

3. But the worst one... they could use this to create AI streamers.

You're probably thinking "they can't do this! I own my content."

The unfortunate reality is....

Twitch vs. Kick vs. YouTube ToS & Your Rights

You do not own the rights to your content on Twitch. They can sell your data to whoever they want and you agree to this by using the platform.

But there is a silver lining: their rights are non-exclusive and you keep copyright.

YouTube has the best platform rights for creators. You retain all ownership, their license is limited to just running their platform, AND they already have AI as *opt-in*.

Kick is the worst... specifically the Kick Partner Program. Kick has a permanent, exclusive, sub-licensable buyout. You lose the right to license elsewhere the moment you monetize.

So what's the actual problem for streamers?

When platforms own the ability to sub-license your data, they can sell it to other companies and use it however they want.

Twitch and Kick both have this ability. YouTube does not.

If you stream on Kick or YouTube, you could end up as unpaid Research & Development for an AI that replaces you.

There is precedent...

The content rights argument is playing out across many industries.

- SAG-AFTRA went on strike in 2023 and won
- Reddit makes ~$130M /yr from Google & OpenAI. Redditors receive none of it
- Federal legistlation battles are happening, like the No Fakes Act

And many more.

Why Twitch Might Grant Opt-In

If you don't like AI, you probably would love to know that Twitch has potential to grant an opt-in feature similar to YouTube's

Amazon has a large team of very talented lawyers. Litigation is very expensive, especially in a completely new category. Having opt-in consent could prevent a lot of headaches for their (expensive af) legal team.

Also, YouTube already has this feature. If Twitch rolls out a forced default while its biggest competitor lets creators choose, Twitch looks anti-creator by direct comparison & loses users

How to Make Money From Your Own Data

You want to be paid for your data, not these big companies.

That's why it's crucial to maintain the ability to sub-license your content (which KPP does NOT allow, Twitch & YouTube are safe)

In order to make money from your data, you need to join an aggregator platform. These platforms pool users together to sell and monetize their data.

It's going to happen anyway. You might as well be the beneficiary of it.

Lmk if you want platform recommendations.

What You Should Do Now

1. Demand an opt-in toggle like YouTube. Twitch has caved to pressure before

2. Keep copies of all your VODS in case you want to license them someday. This will be a new revenue line for streamers over the next few yrs

3. If you really hate this, stream on YouTube

4. If you are a Kick Partner, consider leaving the platform or renegotiating your contract

The simple conclusion is...

The move isn't to rage against AI or roll over for platforms

Your move should be to force Twitch to say what they're building and demand the right to choose

Protect your rights and force consent, then you decide whether to license your data for money or withhold it entirely

Good luck everyone.

@mymixtapez except it's not the same women, found her on instagram..

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

@rowbiloves As swedish person, we have wide hips!

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

So when i was at a grocery store, i noticed one boy around 11-12 years old, basically took his hand, licking like "imagine" something in his hand..i was thinking a "lollipop"..

it went to that he was taking his hand up and down..omg, jesus..

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

After this guy made something about "stop eating hamburgers and go down in weight because you're bla bla bla.."

I have never been this mad reacting to somebody else video.

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

You want attention so bad little boy, i give you attention!
And no i wasn't crying, i was mad, i told him to shut his mouth and let the adults talk!

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

I normally ignore people like this..but this made me so mad i just want to pop his face up.

I was asking why you hate women so much, if they are big, curvy etc..
I wasn't crying i was mad..i made a video, which is my new rebrand.

I'm tired of people like him..

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

Watch the whole video, and i was screaming my 🍑 off on that guy..never been so mad of watching a video with so much hate.

[POTION 🔮⚰️ @potion_brew]

A WHOLE YOUTUBE VIDEO???

and it's just repackaged misogyny, fatphobic rhetoric, desperate for clicks. .

@Nyghtia You're absolutely stunning and making sad men this upset is a compliment🩷

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

@Nyghtia omg why can't people just accept eachother??
I think irl you and your vtuber looks cool <

But yes haters will hate, no matter what you do.

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

@potion_brew @Nyghtia I don't get why people need to send hate because she have different body type than her vtuber?
I mean, irl i have long darkbrown hair, wear glasses and tattoos.

My vtuber vs irl me

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

@SyafireVT https://t.co/C0cbNUxtPA

I'm on a long break now for rebrand but will return soon on twitch again.
I do personal commentary, react and playing rpg games.

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

@vexmlk @bestestopinions lmao, they could have at least asked why instead of typing in that 😂

[「 VEX | VTUBER | 🩸🛸 | 🔞 」 @vexmlk]

That's why you replied & blocked me. 😂

@bestestopinions

A legion of simps? You mean people who enjoy my content who I respect? Shut your dumb ass the fuck up or unblock me & talk that shit with your whole chest.

I'm sick of you fucks.

[Aspen @Aspen_OW]

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

@Raora_annaVT I did the model myself, also allready finished for png,

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

So planning to make a new model for my vtuber, she's keeping her colors, just changing the clothes and some parts of her.

But this cartoon vtuber is still my favorite:

[🌸 Lulu 18+🌸 @Lunatiger_]

@Raora_annaVT probably new clothes, but still the same hair color

Thank you.

Thank you for being my munchers. Thank you for believing in me. Whether you chat in streams, lurk in streams, only watch my shorts, only watch my longform, find yourself floating amongst all of these things, or just watch me casually.

You are the reason I'm here now. You are the reason I create. You saved me and gave me a career path I love more than anything I've ever done.

Thank you for being my munchers, and here's to so many more great things. ❤️
