Forcing me to watch 5 ads before I can see the stream makes me want to go watch netflix / youtube instead.
Currently twitch is forcing me to view 5 ads whenever I click on a stream.
This is turning me off watching completely, as these ads last for 5 minutes.
I think we can agree that it is crazy to expect a viewer to wait for 5 minutes before they can see the stream and decide if they want to continue watching.
This is currently making it impossible for me to browse streams.

Has anyone tried among those who conceived the current advertising system to watch a stream? He believes, just like many of us do, that this is the worst advertising system in the world?

Twitch's ad policy, is ruining the platform. I will not be returning until stream time is > ad time. at this point, Auto ads + normal Stream ads = More time than most streams. Tons of content gets missed and it's required when switching between streams. Your "ad free" offer does not feel like a "value" it feels like a transparent cash grab. "Are you tired of the ads we intentionally shove down your throat? are your frustrated enough to throw cash at an otherwise free product? Buy turbo today!"

Same, I wanted to watch game tournaments then boom, ads stop the stream, forcing me to refresh it forcing itself to play. A little more and I'm gonna stop watching like this.

Agreed 100% There is nothing on this site that is worth sitting through 3 minutes worth of ads.
