Shorter ads If we must have ads playing incessantly, which don't get me wrong, I understand the business need for them, how about we limit them to 10 seconds or less? As much as it still stinks to miss 10 seconds of a stream, it would at least suck less than missing like 30 seconds or so. It would be a nice middle ground between Twitch getting the ad revenue it needs and us, the viewers not getting interrupted.
Secondary idea to tag on to this: Warnings when ads are about to show up. Like youtube does, or did... or does? Give…

Allow people to not run ads in their channel. I was excited to be offered affiliate until I realized it was basically a trap to enable ads I don't want to frustrate viewers with ads, and I have no intention of collecting any revenue through them. It really feels like running ads on a channel should be an optional decision. I am tempted to cancel the affiliate agreement in order to avoid ads being run to my viewers.

Stop giving vegan's/vegetarians meat related ads I can't possibly describe my disgust seeing the amount of Buffalo Wild Wings or Chipotle Cuban Steak ads. I don't force my ideals on other people, I'm quiet about my decision, so please allow people with vegan/vegetarian related diets to opt out of any animal products being advertised to them.

Dynamic time ads blocks I'm not a content creator myself, but I thought of an idea that may help with ads experience after watching the Twitch Townhall.
From time to time, content creators needs to step away from their chairs and sometimes they do not know how long they need to step away for. Instead of having a fixed bank amount of ad blocks, allow content creators have a dynamic way to play ads. It would work like this:
- Creator needs to step away from the computer
- Creator clicks on (Start adblock) button
- Creator can take 30 seconds to get food or 3 minutes…

I run Mid-rolls, but feel punished because other streams don't.. what am I doing wrong? Like the header says, I want to avoid pre-roll ads, so I try my best to run a 60 sec every hr.. but when I do I receive a lot of grief about how other streams don't run mid-rolls...
What is Twitch doing to support those who attempt to do this right? As I understand Mid-rolls are a much better way to deliver ad's.

When you are watching a video and an add appears it gets rid of the images making it impossible to pin point a portion of the stream When you are watching a video and an add appears it gets rid of the images making it impossible to pin point a portion of the stream.

The new viewer experience Your new addition that tells viewers that if they are on twitch.tv they need to turn off their adblocker is going to drive viewers away. It is broken. It doesn't work. I will tell you that again... because, I turn off my adblocker and still get that message. I can see people not watching us and going to facebook or that other microsoft streamer ap... that I don't like. Please remove it.

Stop adblocker complaint in chain It is your right to complain about adblockers and tier-system that remove ads, but I think that you just check if the user has one and not if the tier-system is running or not. So every X time you show your complaint and block the stream and that is painfull, especially if the user took the time to remove tier-system ad blockers.

Make Ad watching a survival style mini-game, based around the viewer choosing to interact with an ad. Had this idea, didn't really know where else to post it. Just trying to get it out there.
So I know Twitch has been struggling to come up with a way to monetize with ads, and with the whole "forced mid-roll" fiasco, I think everyone is worried that whatever they do will be very "un-Twitch" by trying to emulate live TV. So my idea was to just gamify it.
Twitch recently added the little icon dudes that everyone can choose as their logo, and I thought that could be like your Twitch persona, and you basically just turn ad watching…

Bits for first ad of every new stream you visit Its simple, 1-5 bits, for every ad I get for the new stream I watch, because that incentivizes people going through new channels, in their favorite games and finding new channels to watch. Shakes up the viewers, helps them find more people, AND helps them see their support in bits stack to give to the better streamer at the end of that hunt or they go back and give it to their favorite channel. But atleast they find new and wonderful streamers, something that's painful to do with the first ad everytime they watch a stream. Even in raids it…

Ad streamlining through partner panels It feels counterintuitive from a creator stand point. Though I appreciate the stance of supporting creators, there must be better ways to implement paid ads. Personally, I'd love to see a system in place that connects partnered streamers to advertisers through some sort of partner panel. Plenty of streamers do paid ads already, but if you connect a streamer to a physical product to try on stream (a drink, snack, service, etc.) It's more interactive for the audience, and the streamer. Effectively stream lining your advertising practice, and through that service you would be able to still collect revenue of…

Please fix or ban Dangerous Advertisements Many advertisements have an extremely dangerous level of flashing lights, and all of them pop up without warning and they can and do trigger epileptic seizures as a result even in perfectly safe streams.
This is an extreme concern for many people, including myself.
There is a specific advertisement that has so much flashing it can trigger a seizure even for someone using medication because of it being so hazardous, that ad promotes audible.
I tried reporting it to them for how dangerous it is but they do not accept feedback of a complaint category.I would like to request…

Ads for channel points Tie watching adds into the channel points people get to spend on channel rewards.
Allow them to watch x amount of adds whenever they want and give a bonus reward to whoever's channel they are watching.
This will help you with your ad issues.

There is an Audio Bug I wanted to give some feedback on the new ad experience. There is an audio bug that resets the volume to maximum after setting it to a predefined setting. So I turn it down during one ad then the next ad sets volume to max and screams at me. Using Microsoft Edge (Chromium), Windows 10 Pro.

maybe DON'T put a commercial in live stream play ? Congrats, you have succeeded in being shittier then Youtube, They at least pause videos when they cram advertisers down your throat. It kinda ruins the point in watching live streams (as apposed to pre recorded video) when you miss chunks of the live stream to feed corporate greed. thanks!
