When we subscribe to Amazon Prime and then subscribe to a channel on Twitch, we don't see ads in this channel. But, when we watch other live streams there is. And mostly are series that I already watched.

The ideia is: Amazon and Twitch are already connected. So, why not to get the history of the Prime Video and filter ads with the only content we didn't watched yet?

1) Prime users should not have to watch pre-roll ads. Period. When a streamer decides to show ads, those should be shown since that generates revenue for the streamer.

2) A lower-priced turbo where it shows streamer ads, but not pre-roll. Or add an option to Turbo where I have the option to view streamer generated ads (settings per channel, not overall for Twitch).

3) Add an option for subscribed channels where I can decide if I want to watch streamer generated ads (settings per channel, not overall for Twitch).

If I am paying extra money for a service, I should be given more choice for that service. I hate, hate, hate pre-roll ads. But if I pay for Turbo, I ***** a streamer out of ad revenue because I don't see any ads ever. If I subscribe to a channel, I should have a choice if I want to have ads to support that streamer or not.

How about giving Amazon Prime members the ability to skip Ads that are 15 seconds or longer, similar to what Youtube does.

Most people hate advertisements in this day and age. Twitch is a very in the moment platform. Being interrupted with an ad really impacts the stream. Viewers lose communication with the streamer, and even if the streamer explicitly states they are going to run an ad, they get nominal money from the ad at the huge risk of losing viewership.

A couple proposals to remedy this:

1. Do not play ads when swapping channels (causes stagnation of viewer bases) instead do a banner ad. (like for mobile users, minimally invasive and doesn’t affect the flow of the stream)

2. Set a limit to how many ads a person can have per x amount of time, and let them know what that is. This will stop the ad every stream switch, refresh, etc. and render down the “uptime” of the ads to a more bearable level. (Also ad some code to prevent repeat ads. It’s extremely upsetting to the user base)

3. Incentivize twitch turbo more. It’s main function is to remove ads for any person on mobile (or PC for people who are honest and want to support the cost of maintaining twitch infrastructure). For me, nine dollars monthly is more expensive than Crunchyroll Premium (6 or 7 can’t remember) and may be off putting to people considering what to watch and where. You could be losing viewership to other platforms due to this. Maybe add a monthly subscription (I’ve got a 33 prime sub streak for one channel and don’t want to break it, and having more choices for emotes is nice) Moving more subs around will make the community more involved and channel emotes are basically mini “ads” to other streamers.

Shown above, many people can feel like the rug has been ripped out from under them because of the ad changes. What they took for granted suddenly is gone and replaced with intrusive ads. Doing some sort of promotion or deal to subvert the viewers negative feelings with the change will help alleviate the issue with ads and make the transition into the new status quo smoother.

Twitch prime could blossom into an individualized experience where the rewards are more relevant to each person. (Have a survey like monthly, do some polls, gather some info, then adapt to better reward the users)

Pretty simple and as described in the title.
If I have Amazon Prime you can obviously track my viewing history, and use it to NOT show me ads for the shows I have seen.

Currently I get about 4 rotating ads (Cloak & Dagger, Hanna, Grand Tour, Jack Ryan).
Three of these I've already seen, and so whenever I get an ad for them now I just close out the Twitch desktop client and restart it - because that's faster and less annoying than watching the ad to completion.

So maybe you could tone down the ads, or at the very least don't show us the ads that 100% ARE OF NO INTEREST TO US BECAUSE WE ALREADY BOUGHT INTO/WATCHED YOUR PRODUCT.

I used to lurking around the twitch to find more streamers to watch. Guess what? I stopped that because every single time I switch to another stream ... and ad. And as a bonus, it's always the SAME ad, again, again and again. I cannot check what is the streamer playing, which language he/she is speaking, what's the stage of the game. I have to watch the ad first. I just started hating everything the ads are trying to sell and most of my free time I started going back to youtube because of this.

Now tell me again, marketing guy, how this greatly supports the streamers?

Please return Ad blocking to prime. Your current ads CONSTANTLY mess up the audio sync of streams, interrupt content at the worst time, and sometimes just blacks the stream out without loading the stream back up. It makes watching on mobile next to impossible for me, and on consoles its a nightmare of constant refreshing due to this feature being removed. Taking features away from prime and increasing the cost and then stating that twitch turbo is the answer? I do not wish to be charged an additional 9 dollars a month to have a service i should already be getting with my prime membership. absolutely frustrating at this rate I will cancel prime as it was the ONLY reason I had it. I know I am not alone on this either.

I see it differently, I think it's great to support the streamers through advertising. I even see communities where there is an active demand for asking for advertising. Because advertising also finances the streamer. "this ad supports ..." is also true. And if you are not the opinion, then ask the streamer. He gets at least the money.

If you want to enjoy Ad-Free Twitch, you can get a subscription that allows you to watch Twitch free of ads. https://www.twitch.tv/turbo

Advertising is shown when you start watching the stream & at the end of the stream. The streamer is responsible for advertising during the stream. So if you always see ads between the streams, it's because the streamer has started the ad block. This can be started by the streamer in the dashboard (a partner has a trigger button there).
