Twitch's opt-out model gives Amazon default access to millions of hours of streamer content for model training unless creators actively refuse. Most won't know the setting exists or how to navigate it. The platform captures value from creator labor while placing the burden of protection on individuals. AI training has become a hidden extraction mechanism: platforms monetize content twice (once through ads and subscriptions, again through training data) while creators absorb privacy risk and receive nothing in return.
