I don't believe it. Everything is used regardless of what they say.

They’ll just change the T&Cs later on to retrospectively allow use of the data again.

We promise to not use your data for AI if you press this button.
Terms of use.
We reserve the right to use data you enter to and to help the platform. (Meaning we take ownership of the data)
We will only use your data after it has been submitted, at which point it is now OUR data SUCKEERR. 🤣 🤡

Right? Even if it's not for now they'll just go back once everyone stops paying attention.

aka "we have enough data"
Buffalox@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 26d
There is no such thing as enough data, probably more that users are catching on and complaining.
But it's mostly a placebo button:
You can say no, except not really.

Just don't use privately owned social media, guys. It is the same deceit and profeteering over and over and over again.

There’s a lot of shitting on twitch here, and rightfully so - but if you think YouTube, Kick, Rumble, Facebook, TikTok etc aren’t doing this, then they probably haven’t bulldozed a large portion of your town to build a data center yet

If they wanted people to opt in, they could, I don't know, offer to pay them instead of stealing. Its a wild concept I know.

Why would they do that if they can make more money the way they did it, while facing no consequences?

They want more growth and think the publicity from the change will drive more conversion.

This is like asking whether it’d be alright to cum inside a woman, post-birth. Very intentional delay

I don’t know why streamers still use Twitch. It’s got an absolutely toxic amount of ads. Unwatchable unless you’re paying a lot of money monthly.

You kinda answered your own question there. Never get why people watch streams on there though. (Except its some kind of planned event. )

The pay. They make more (especially on a donation model) because they get to keep more of what people donate to them. YouTube takes like 30%, and I think Twitch is lower (5%?).
I hear that the discoverability is terrible on Twitch but I'm not a streamer, so what do I know.
IronKrill@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 24d
Where are you getting 5% from? For one, Twitch doesn't have donations. They have subs and bits. Subs start at 50/50^1^, and go to 70/30 if are a larger streamer^2^. Bits are harder to find info on, but supposedly 1 bit = 1 cent, but the purchase price is higher so if you look at the raw purchase price of 100 bits = $1.40USD then Twitch is taking a ~30% cut.
I used to see a lot of streamers go through third-party sites which have lower cuts, and presumably that is still a popular route. But these have little to do with Twitch and as far as I know you can do this on YouTube as well.

Twitch doesn't have donations built into their platform (but you can absolutely donate bits which can be converted into cash). 5% is a me questioning the amount they take from donations of Bits, that's why there's question mark next to it. I don't remember the exact amount but I do know that it's less than YouTube, and that YouTube takes approximately 30%. I was hoping someone would correct me if I was wrong.
To purchase bits Twitch takes a cut. But when you donate bits to a streamer thats not the same as charging the customer who purchased the bits 30%.
Additionally though, some streamers use Kofi or other platforms like stream elements to get donations from their viewers, so there's that too.

That lady has witch tattooed on her neck, that's hardcore
I knew a guy who had jaded on his neck. He said it was like armor and nobody fucks with you when you have that kind of tattoo. I wonder if she's going with that same idea, keeps guys from coming on to you if you're holding a sign that says basically fuck you dudes
