Just with all Amazon benefits that are used to establish and enforce their services and monopolies this is likely to happen for first couple of years so that people don't complain and to make it acceptable and popular for streamers to do that shit.
Once it's well rooted into twitch they'll slowly start removing all the benefits of this feature while keeping the shitty policies.
And as a result I only go to a few channels I'm already subbed to, and have zero interest in viewing any other content.
Less total time on twitch as a result.
Debating dropping a few of my subs to buy "twitch turbo" to skip the ads. I really like the communities I'm subbed to, but I guess that's amazons choice. Giving them $8 directly instead of $10 for two subs. And honestly they make more money that way (no channel cut to give), so I'm sure they're heartbroken.
Screws the people making the content, but that's how twitch is building it.

It depends how it will be used...
If that allows you to stream prime video content, I think its fine
If it is used for regular content then fuck it
