Twitch is creating livestreamed, interactive TV. In Artificial, viewers vote via online chats and polls on what the characters will do in real time; for example, when a neighbor arrives at the main characters’ house, viewers decide whether she greets them with a handshake, hug, or kiss on the cheek. The sci-fi series shows a new direction for live content, choose-your-own-adventure series, and Twitch itself—which has been creating more non-gaming content for their massive Gen Z & Millennial audience.
