we have to think about how we call out hateful folks who say hateful shit because It Happened Again: a small vtuber with struggling numbers went on a transphobic screed, was justifiably called out, and then was immediately elevated by the rightwing chudtubers on X and their viewership went up 10x

viewership stats on twitchtracker showing someone's streams with a fairly stable plateau, declining slightly and then skyrocketing in the final month

Might be a good time to say this again! As the question comes up from time to time. Bikubot is not and will not be implementing any Generative AI features, like TTS that uses Gen AI. The belief is firmly that real work like artists should be supported and not have it being used without permission.

Highly encouraging all Twitch streamers to put something along the lines of 'NoGenAI', 'AIFree', 'NoGenerativeAI', in their Twitch tags. The new update that makes genAI training immediately opted in will also use your chat to train models. Let your communities know it's safe to engage!

everyone says "just move to another streaming platform" when twitch makes shitty choices—genuinely where is there to move to? youtube is full of gen-ai & just made the requirements for their paid program twice as hard. kick is a cesspool. velora has a gen-ai bot they want you to treat like a human.

Hi loves. This is important. I understand the sentiment & importance of cancelling subs on Twitch. Voting with your wallet Many of my friends are full-time streamers & that is their only source of income. Please consider moving support to other platforms like ko-fi. This could ruin lives.

hey this new thing with twitch really sucks; but remember that many people in this community have spent years building a schedule and audience they may not immediately be able to walk away from. make sure to support your favorite streamers, no matter what their next moves for content creation.
