"Complimentary giveaway" - A desperate ploy to get rid of stock that they literally cannot sell because nobody is interested in buying anything from an author who is a catastrophically mammoth piece of shit.

The UK Arts & Ents industry contributes over £10bn to the UK economy a year & one of these days our politicians might even realise that instead writing it off as icky girlie flouncing bc you can't do a photoshoot in a hard hat & hi-vis gilet at the national theatre without looking like a tit

Wake up babe, new penguin just dropped.

Southeastern gentoo penguin look almost identical to other gentoo penguins, so until recently experts thought they were all the same species.

"What has the BBC ever done for me?" Condoned the serving of AI slop as a broadcaster that once sought to inform, educate and entertain the nation. What a slap in the face.

I'm fairly certain none of us pay our TV license just so someone can sit at a computer and let a load of algorithmic "most likely" outcomes become the televisual standard. What bullshit is this?!

Watching this show isn’t going to get you cancelled, you won’t lose your job, you won’t be tied to a flagpole in your underwear. It just makes you a shitty person, contributing to the wealth of a bigoted monster, against the request of the people she’s harming.

There's a great quote that keeps circulating: "If buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing". So many people are hopping aboard their digital galleons and setting sail across murky, internet waters in search of their media these days, and these companies only have themselves to blame.

We are complex beings. We contain multitudes. We are a thousands moods and a million wonderful moments. We have endless potential and capacity for growth, and have so much to contribute to the world. Being forced to limit that to a single side of A4 paper feels reductive.

HARD agree - and I speak as a former fan of the franchise. For me, interest waned after Infinity War/Endgame and it feels like they're trying to relive their glory days and capture what they had with those two films.

There you have it.
so, (barely) reading between the lines of what Twitch's staff said:

1) they were forced by Amazon to add the AI training setting and to make it opt-out, because the overlords know perfectly well there's no reason anyone would ever opt-in

2) the actual Twitch staff who run Twitch do not like this and are of the same mind about it as all of you

3) Taking the time to opt-out, even if you don't really stream, gives them data to take to meetings with their overlords to prove that Twitch users dislike AI and pushing it too hard will drive people from the site.

Imagine being so privileged that you can gloss over and ignore the very real harm this franchise's creator is doing to a vulnerable minority group, and willingly ally yourself with it. There's no excuse for it any more.
