Twitch has introduced a new feature for clips that allows viewers to like videos with a thumbs up button. The video discusses the potential implications of this feature, speculating whether it will lead to a public clips feed for better discoverability or be used to train an AI clip feature, questioning its overall value.
Twitch launched a new feature for clips that lets users press a thumbs up button to like a video while watching shorts.
The feature could be a win (W) if it leads to a public clips feed, increasing channel discoverability, or a loss (L) if it's only used to train an AI clip feature announced at TwitchCon.
A public clips feed would provide more discoverability for channels, which is generally positive for creators.
If the likes are only used to train an AI clip feature, the video questions the point, noting that few people watch clips on Twitch anyway, so it wouldn't benefit anyone.
The video leaves the verdict open, asking viewers to share their opinions on whether the new like feature will be beneficial or pointless.
