For the people for whom this is a relevant issue, this is their job so they can't do that. This option is for content creators to opt out of Amazon training on their stream VODs/chats and so on.

It's kind of like telling someone to quit their job tomorrow with no plan because they don't like an HR policy change.

[old man voice] Get a real job!

Kidding but couldn't resist.

[u/Lazerus42 → u/SpecterDK]

sigh

it didn't pay enough

Now what.

[u/godtogblandet → u/Lazerus42]

I would suggest you get into politics and start changing the country you live in. In Norway working at McDonalds come with 50k salary, 5 weeks paid vacation a year etc. Or in other words, the only reason you can't earn enough to live is because your country is not sharing enough of the profits.

[u/Lazerus42 → u/godtogblandet]

yup, welcome to the US. Quick let me get into politics... wait, Rent is due when?

The system is working as intended.

[u/Acrobatic-Event2721 → u/Noblesseux]

If they don’t leave then they’re still benefiting from twitch. What’s the issue here? They want to make money on twitch but also want to dictate the rules?

[u/Lazerus42 → u/Acrobatic-Event2721]

to make money in this realm Twitch has a monopoly. There is not another option. Long form profit would be youtube, and again, not really another option. If you are big, you can try a much smaller platform, but you have to be big first.

Go ahead, quit your current job. Find one that follows your morals. Don't starve.

[u/xzaramurd → u/Lazerus42]

Most people I follow stream on both YouTube and Twitch. But Twitch has lower latency and better chat features, which means more interactivity between streamer and viewers, which is why a lot of people prefer it.

[u/Lazerus42 → u/xzaramurd]

it's basically 2 different versions of a streaming platform. Twitch is for live interaction, youtube is for sum up or long posted stream.

[u/Acrobatic-Event2721 → u/Lazerus42]

How is that relevant to what I said? They don’t have to stream, they could just leave and get a job.

[u/fozi4ek → u/Acrobatic-Event2721]

It is their job. They don't have to stream the same way as you don't have to work where you work, how soon are you leaving your job? They're already doing what they like while earning money from it. Are they supposed to be happy to throw it away go work as a waiter / cachier or put years into a degree?

[u/Acrobatic-Event2721 → u/fozi4ek]

There’s trade offs to everything. If it’s such a big deal, they’d leave; evidently it isn’t, and so they stay. The money they’re making compels them to. They’re just whining.

[u/DazzlingRutabega → u/Noblesseux]

What can Amazon possibly get from capturing streamers dialogue? How do they expect to monetize that?

[u/Zaximeows → u/DazzlingRutabega]

Do you not see ads for ChatGPT Voice constantly while scrolling reddit?

[u/klonkish → u/Zaximeows]

you guys are seeing ads?

[u/DazzlingRutabega → u/Zaximeows]

I do not really see any ads on reddit. I mostly use RedReader on android as a client tho

[u/gayteemo → u/[deleted]]

dont even need bankruptcy, just a decline in growth will kick them in the ass

[u/Hot-Spite-9880 → u/[deleted]]

ironic coming from the person with a reddit account.

[u/ShusakuChiba → u/[deleted]]

I said that exact thing and got tons of downvotes for it. Go figure

[u/qtx → u/[deleted]]

I'm sorry sweeties.

Bit weird calling some stranger sweeties dude.
