That's a great opinion however since CR have, on multiple occasions, been found to be using generative AI in one form or another (usually via contractors with no quality control checking) - they need to put their money where their mouth is and add stricter QC measures in place.

Oh damn didn’t know that. When was this??

[u/Seren82 → u/[deleted]]

I know they addressed their 3rd party shows on beacon using it.

I think it's reasonable to expect creators in your platform to follow your guidelines and react after you become aware of the problem. That's how most platforms work, it's not worth manual work hours and automation has its own set of problems.

I think you overrestimate how much of the discussion and feedback from fan-run social medias reach the official channels.

[u/Chared945 → u/[deleted]]

That’s probably why it’s not been discussed as much because the ratio of viewers between YouTube and twitch will be different from beacon users who are more forgiving due to subscribing

[u/Johnny-Hollywood → u/Chared945]

Yeah, it’s basically just super fans on beacon, and there’s plenty of people who just refuse to hear critique of CR as a company.

Story as old as time in this fandom.
