Allow Skippable Ads Most of ads should be skippable. Your site is a live streaming platform, you cannot force people to watch ads while they were watching something else that they will completely miss because of ads. Same concept goes for the first AD you are forced to watch as soon as you open one live stream. If im forced to watch something without any possibility to skip unless i close the whole page, i will 100% start hating on the promoted product just beause it is disturbing my plans.
Also giving people the possibility to spam as many ads as they want,…606 votes -
Celebrate and gamify watching ads instead of forcing users and driving them away Celebrate watching ads and provide value for the viewer and the streamer instead of regulary interrupting the consumers experience with unwanted content.
How? Here is an idea:
Twitch already had the "Watch ads for bits" function - but it currently is quite hidden in the "get bits section". What if instead of a forced full screen ad for x amounts of seconds twitch provides "watch this ad for bits" button on screen.It should appear at random times during streams or if the streamer triggers it manually.
There some ways to incooperate this feature with the current twitch flow: Streamer can…

ADs should only be on VODs ADS should not be on live streams, only on VODs!
From my understanding ADS on live will give you one of the following drawbacks, If an AD plays for 10 seconds:
you will be sent back to the current moment the stream is at thus losing 10 seconds of the live stream and what happened in that meantime be it a answer to your message, some epic moment or anything in between.
you will be 10 seconds behind with the live stream, meaning you are also 10 seconds behind interacting with the streamer
Thus I am requesting the ADs to…

As per GDPR, personalized ads are supposed to be OPT-IN, not OPT-OUT. Every time I log in to my account, I am greeted with a possibiltiy to manage personalized ads, and it looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/8HUIhPP.png
By default, everything should be off unless I explicitly state I allow gathering my data.

Add 'delay' option for when ads pop up at critical moments I understand that ads are necessary to support twitch and streamers, and while I don't like it, I can deal with it. But one thing is SUPER annoying - when an ad pops up right when something exciting is happening/about to happen and everyone misses the action. At least TV ads have the courtesy to play during breaks - imagine if an ad came on while the super bowl-winning touchdown pass was in the air!
If we can't outright remove or skip ads (understandable), how about having a simple button pop up in a corner of the stream when an…

Make a button to watch an ad vs forcing one at start of stream or randomly. Rather than constantly shoving ads down everyone’s throat how about instead when you join a stream there is a button that shows 1 que’d ad and then it has a time limit before it must be watched say 30 minutes or something. This way the VIEWER can pick a relatively slow point in the stream to view it rather than missing out on important parts of the stream or conversation. This would at least be better than the current method of shoveling ad after ad in our faces and stupid random times that do nothing but piss off me and…

Less Irritating/Annoying Ad Distribution I know that twitch has been looking into ways to get around AdBlock and whatnot to ensure that ads get played, but: Consider less intrusive/annoying/irritating advertising. The majority of people are using AdBlock because they find ads annoying. You know, that stereotype CONGRATS YOU'VE WON A FREE PRIZE!!! flashing ad kind of thing?
If you were to make twitch advertising less intrusive, I believe it would help. Twitch ads already aren't that bad, but they could be improved in a number of possible ways:
Make the advertisement only hijack the video feed, not the audio. With the advertisements jumping…

normalize Ad volume with content volume Not as frequently as before but still often, Ads play which are dramatically louder than the broadcast content. This is an annoyance, interferes with other people in the house, and frankly makes me more likely to mute the ad and go do something in a different tab.
Normalizing volume levels with stream average volume or peak volume wouldn't take a huge amount of processing power and would fix the problem entirely. It's required by the US's FCC in other broadcast mediums, but it's really just a quality of life improvement for the viewers and a mark of good production.

Video quality option for ads It is somewhat annoying to sit through a buffering high quality ad for a minute before returning to the stream.

Ad-free experience for all viewers I would like to see a subscription to make a channel ad-free for all viewers, not just people with accounts, subscribers, followers or anything, I know turbo exists, but that's only for the person broadcasting that goes and watches someone else's channel. What about the opposite, what if a broadcaster wants the viewers to have an ad-free experience?
