Twitch is harvesting user-generated content from streams to train Amazon AI models while hiding the opt-out mechanism. A Twitch executive admitted that if the feature were opt-in instead of opt-out, "nobody would opt in."
That executive quote is an admission that Twitch knows users don't want this, so the company buried the opt-out to maximize participation. Content creators stream to Twitch; Twitch takes that content and feeds it to Amazon's AI without asking permission up front. The default is consent without asking. An executive saying people would refuse if asked is essentially saying the company is relying on user inattention to proceed.
