The video discusses the recent trend of Twitch streamers reacting to TV shows, which has led to copyright infringement issues. The creator argues that Twitch has not done enough to prevent this and has instead encouraged streamers to delete their VODs (Video On Demand) to avoid copyright strikes. This has created an underground culture where streamers try to get away with streaming copyrighted content without getting caught.
The creator criticizes Twitch for not having an automated system for live content ID, unlike YouTube, and for not setting clear guidelines for streamers. They also suggest that Twitch could partner with companies to offer licensed content for streamers to react to, which would benefit both the streamers and the companies.
The video also compares Twitch to YouTube, where creators are more likely to get copyright strikes for using copyrighted music or videos. The creator argues that Twitch needs to grow up as a platform and take responsibility for its creators and their content.
Ultimately, the creator suggests that Twitch and its creators need to work together to create a better ecosystem that balances creativity with copyright laws. They encourage streamers to push Twitch to do better and to partner with more companies to offer licensed content.
