1. Stop with the Ads, Bring back Prime users being Ad free!!!

   Since this change I've been driven further and further away from Twitch.tv as a platform. I find it ridiculous that the only way to not have to see this annoying Ad spam is by using my ONE prime sub or just not watching content on Twitch.tv. There is a major problem with that approach, and until something changes (and I'm certain thousands of others would agree here), I will no longer be using this platform for my viewing pleasure.I hope you guys get this figured out and find a better solution soon, like putting the Ads responsibility back on individual streamers, since that empowers THEM to generate revenue for themselves, as opposed to the obviously fake cop-out of "this ad supports -insert random streamer here- " since that just seems so disingenuous.

2. Don't show an ad when a channel begins to host

   Overall, ads on Twitch are reasonable and not too intrusive, but this one quirk makes it more difficult for small streamers to support each other.

   If someone ends their stream by hosting mine, I would like to be able to thank them and welcome them and any viewers who came along with them. But at the moment that I receive the host notification, I have to assume that none of them can see me because an ad just started playing for them. And if I host another streamer at the conclusion of my stream, my viewers and I don't get to see their reaction unless without pre-loading their stream, or watching the VOD later, or enabling an adblocker.

   Revenue from host-transition ads must be next to nothing, and this does not seem like something that is done to nudge people towards paying for Turbo because the hosted streamer obviously cannot assume that most of the viewers coming over to their channel have Turbo.

3. Ads Overhaul

   Dear Twitch,

   I think I speak for most of the streaming community when I say we do NOT like your new mid-roll strategy. Ads are among the biggest annoyances on the site and the solution is not to give us more ads. Here are some ideas on making ads on Twitch better for both the creator and the viewer.

   1. Give the creators an actual cut of the ad revenue
      Right now, this is absolutely peanuts when you compare it to other video content sites, it’s actually insane. This would make running ads also a bit more attractive for creators and viewers will know that these ads would actually support their favourite creators a lot more than now.

   2. Make your ads shorter and skippable
      The ads that are currently running on Twitch are often way too long. Myself and other viewers have often skipped these ads by simply going to a different channel, that is not okay. That should not happen.

   3. Consider adding closable lower third ads
      When you first launch a stream you can have a lower third ad hovering over the videoplayer. Be sure to make it so that viewers can click these away.

   4. Let creators and viewers (individually) control mid-rolls
      I really like the fact that as a creator you can roll an ad, for instance, when you need to take a snack break or toilet break. What if we add a feature like that for every viewer. Let’s say you have a button somewhere next to the stream that viewers can opt for an ad to support their favourite creators, this way both the creator and the viewer has more control over when they want to see ads.

   5. Bits for ads
      Why is this not a thing worldwide? This is such a nice concept and should be implemented all over the world because it gives the chance for viewers that can’t afford a sub or bits to give bits anyway by just saving them up by watching ads here and there. This can go hand in hand with the ad button for viewers.

   6. A certain amount of paid subs (gift subs excluded) = Twitch Turbo
      Lastly, make it so that viewers that have a certain amount of paid subscriptions across multiple channels have Twitch Turbo perks. However, they could still opt to see ads to support a streamer with the button and still see mid-rolls from the streamer.

   In summary, I think there is a lot to learn from other platforms in regards to ads on Twitch. These are just some loose ideas, I’m sure there are plenty of people that have better ideas than me or that can make these ideas even better. Thank you for reading and hopefully, maybe, something will be done with this.

   Special shoutout to @HarrisHeller and @Jasper55RL (both on Twitter) for providing some of the points talked about in this post.

4. Enable Multi-Month Subscriptions for Turbo

   PROBLEM
   At this time, Turbo is only available on a monthly recurring basis.

   BACKGROUND
   However, Subscriptions are available in month, 3 months, and 6 months renewal increments. (This phrasing is pulled directly from the Subscription panel on Twitch. Who does your copy? Anyways…)

   PROBLEM PART TWO
   This discordance in user experience is confusing.

   ASK
   Bring feature parity to Turbo.

   IMPLEMENTATIONS

   Full Feature Parity with Subscriptions - Turbo renewal periods would be: month, 3-month, 6-month and offer the same 10% and 15% discounts

   Industry Parity - Monthly or Annual renewal, with a discount equivalent to 2 months on the annual plan ($5/month or $50/year)

   PROBLEM PART THREE
   Turbo has not provided users value for quite some time - and that is prior to the price increase. Many Turbo users do not benefit from VOD storage, since they do not stream. Additional global emotes are worthless. Name colours… yeah.

   The price increase will lead to Turbo cancellations - the very least Twitch could do is to enable multi-month purchasing to allow users to save some money.

   CLOSING COMMENTS
   Directly asking users to create a UserVoice Suggestion for this issue, or any specific issue, is nothing short of asinine.

   If Twitch is aware enough of a problem to voice it to the community - the community does not need to submit a UserVoice suggestion.

7. Sub Tokens for Turbo users.

   We should get Sub Tokens for Turbo Users.

   Keep Turbo an Ad Free experience but give us a way to have Sub Tokens every month we renew Turbo, that way we can use our Sub Tokens like Prime to support streamers and we get the benefits of a sub in the streamer's chat (also make Tokens giftable, that way you incentivize the use of Turbo over Prime)

   We could even have Turbo Tiers that change the number of Tokens and benefits we receive.

8. Allow Ad Blockers

   Please stop the fight against ad blockers. Not everybody is able to afford Twitch Turbo and those aren't people who you want to serve with ads, anyway, since they're low converters. Or do you want to sell ads to your worst viewers? The ones who don't spend money on your premium subscription are also unlikely going to purchase a product after seeing an ad and your advertisers will sooner or later figure that out when they see their low conversion rates...

   Users who use ad blockers are annoyed by ads and naturally indisposed against companies who try to force their way into their door as well, so they are selling a spammer image instead of gaining reputation.

   The only thing you do by pushing those ads is creating an artificial need on users who can afford to pay to remove them by making your platform substantially worse. Youtube has a massive back library and their subscription service is much cheaper than yours, they don't fight ad blockers and people are much more willing to subscribe to their premium service.

   Now, if you don't want poor people in your audience, maybe you should put the entire site behind a paywall instead and be done with it.

10. Have a yearly subscription

    It would be nice if I could buy a Twitch Turbo sub for a year upfront. It would also be nice if you did a discount if we did that.

    Some places do a yearly sub for things and they only charge for 10 months. But they get that upfront and the user gets to feel like they saved some money.

11. Turbo Badges

    The price for Twitch Turbo got increased but no value was added.
    An idea would be to allow Turbo Users to display two badges next to their name instead of one.
    Twitch added more and more badges over the last few years and you can only display one.
    So please allow Turbo users to pick one extra and add more value to Twitch Turbo.

12. idea for Better Turbo benefit for streamers

    I don't like ads and I don't really like serving ads to my viewers.
    But Twitch as a platform needs to make money and logically cannot exist without such a revenue stream.

    But what if I could pay to covers the cost, at least partially or up to a certain amount of viewers?
    I find that Twitch Turbo is rather well poised already for this, at least price wise, sitting at about the same price point of 4 separate tier 1 subscriptions.

    The idea is, that as a streamer, having Twitch Turbo would mean that the streams they do would be ad free until they have above 4 viewers.

    I think this is also a good idea, if Twitch intends to have more expensive tier's of Turbo, like with subs, because it could scale the ad free threshold based on tier pricing.

    Now I understand if this is not logistically variable for Twitch to do and also I understand if pricing would have to change to match this benefit.
    But, if this is possible, I believe it would be of an extreme good value for smaller streamers or new streamers looking to find an audience while not having to serve ads to anyone.

15. Turbo Regional Pricing

    Please Twitch, explain why Turbo will cost $11.99 in USD and £11.99 in GBP. I live in the UK and so, according to current market rates, that means I'll pay 23% more for Turbo than someone in the US. That can't be right. Did you math wrong or something?

    If I consider the old price of Turbo as well, then overall, this is a 64% price increase without any improvements being offered once the new rate takes effect. Could I perhaps get 100 days of VOD storage to go with that price hike, hmm?

16. Give us the ability to gift Turbo subscriptions!

    I believe that implementing the ability to gift Twitch Turbo to other users only provides benefits. Not only does it generate more money, it allows users to browse streamers ad-free leading Twitch enjoyers to find new upcoming streamers instead of only watching the streamers they're subbed to.

17. Twitch on PlayStation & Xbox

    I am a regular Twitch consumer. I watch Twitch mostly on my PlayStation 5. The experience on the app is however, not as satisfying and flawless as in other devices, such as PC or mobile. There’s so many ads that play throughout streams, and there is zero way to subscribe to the channel you’re watching. It is not the most convenient thing to log into your PC or mobile just to subscribe.

    Overall, I think you should be able to access these things on the Twitch PlayStation app: Subscribe to a channel in all tiers, subscribe to Twitch Turbo, collect points and point bonuses, gift subscriptions, edit your chat identity (such as colors), be able to part take in predictions and polls, be able to see pinned messages, etc.

    These features would make watching Twitch on the PlayStation app a more pleasant experience! I hope my feedback can somehow help!
    Thank you!

18. Twitch Turbo Lite for Ad Block only. $4.99 / mo maybe

    I've been interested in twitch turbo for some time now, but the only feature I want is the ad-free viewing. It would be neat to have a lite version at a cheaper price for ads only. $8.99 is quite steep if ad-free viewing is the only feature I use.

19. Make Twitch Turbo fall under the same refund request and subscription rules as channel subscriptions

    Twitch Turbo subscriptions should fall under the same rules as channel subscriptions for refund requests.

    Making Twitch Turbo a non-refundable subscription even after a payment is made and the system doesn’t allow you to cancel the subscription without paying first isn’t a great way to market a program that you can “cancel anytime”. If your system doesn’t allow me to cancel before my next payment forcing me to have that payment come out of my bank account anyways only to not be eligible for a refund is a poor way to market a program that’s ad free sitewide.

20. Refund within 24 hours

    Hey I think it would be nice to allow refunds for the Turbo Trial within 24 hours of forgetting to cancel it and having it auto renew. That would be a lot more appropriate and in line with pretty much every other online service in the entire world.
