1. Do not promote Hogwarts Legacy

   JK Rowling is a vocal transphobe and promoting Hogwarts Legacy enriches her, helping her further her anti-trans agenda. Please do not run ads for this game.

2. Expand Ad Scheduler settings to take into account more streaming styles and flexibility

   The ad manager and 55% revenue split has been very beneficial for me personally, however I think it is only really helpful for a very small portion of streamers. My stream is compartmentalized so that I can fit my content into 1 hour periods (the max period allowed in the scheduler). The overwhelming majority of streamers playing games do not have this ability and in general from my experience most viewers would prefer extended ad breaks more infrequently during BRB periods while the streamer is not playing, than short ads interrupting content frequently.

   I think that MANY more streamers could benefit from the AIP and Ad Manager with a few VERY REASONABLE changes.

   1) Increase the maximum ad schedule period to 2 or more hours. This prevents streamers from running into situations where they are in the middle of a cutscene, a boss fight, important content etc. when the ad timer is about to go off.

   2) Make the Snooze system more forgiving. Only allowing 3 snoozes and having them refresh VERY slow (essentially a max 15 minute delay) is EXTREMELY unforgiving for content creators. The snooze system adds an additional layer of stress for many streamers. Not only do they have to do their normal stream, but now they have to worry about an ad timer that is inflexible, and on top of that they have to think about and calculate whether or not they can Snooze enough times through a cutscene/boss fight/ important gameplay or content etc. Instead of having the snooze feature streamers should literally just be able to put in "Play the ads 25 minutes from now" and have it be dynamic so that it is not locked in.

   Ultimately these changes can be made and still meet the ad density that Twitch wants, and I truly believe this will get many more streamers to use the new ad incentives.

   Currently the system only works well for creators that don't care about viewers having their viewing experience interrupted constantly (which I'm sure there are plenty), or streamers that are able to compartmentalize their content into 1 hour blocks (this is VERY hard to do with normal video game streaming).

   Hopefully this is considered because I think it would benefit both streamers and viewers a ton.

   Thanks.

3. Creators Need Tools to Customize Ad Content

   Creators need tools that customize ad content to improve the ad viewing experience on the platform. It is a serious flaw in the system that creators do not have any input on what ad content is shown to their viewers.

   To share what prompted this idea, the other night a viewer informed me that they had been shown an ad for Hogwarts Legacy. This was very upsetting, because my stream has become a haven for marginalized folks on the platform (I myself am a triple minority). The promotion of JK Rowling's media on my stream was very upsetting to my entire community, as she is an outspoken bigot who profits off of marginalizing others.

   To be clear, my complaint is not about the existence of the Hogwarts Legacy ad. I understand that Twitch profits from running ads on our streams; this was merely one of many ads being shown on the platform. My problems with what happened are the following:

   1) The ad was harmful. It actively marginalized folks in my community.
   2) The ad made the viewing experience on Twitch far less entertaining for my community.
   3) The ad was completely ineffective. No one in my stream supports or condones the product being promoted.

   Creators have zero tools available that address the problems I outlined above. We need a tool in our dashboard that allows us to set preferences for the types of ads that would interest our audiences: we need to be able to customize ad content for our viewership.

   Let's take another example. Let's say that a streamer knows that they have a disproportionate number of vegetarian or vegan viewers. As of now, creators cannot give the algorithm feedback on their viewers' interests. At some point, these viewers would be shown ads that promote burgers and other meat. Such an ad would not only be a turn off for most of those viewers, but also the ad would be ineffectual in advertising its product.

   Broadly speaking, viewers want to see ads for products that interest them, while advertisers want their ads to be effective. Without any tool for creators to customize ad content, ads only have a random chance of intriguing viewers.

   If we had tools to customize ad content, it would not only improve the ad experience for the viewer, but also would help advertisements reach target audiences. More effective advertising would make the prospect of ads more appealing to advertisers, generating more revenue for Twitch and creators.

   I hope that this suggestion can lead towards improving entertainment on Twitch.

4. Your new Apple TV+ ad needs to be stopped

   When someone joins a channel, they get this Apple TV ad above the CHAT; they can "DISMISS" and "Don't Show Again". However, if they join a different channel, the SAME ad appears again.

   Every single channels a user follows has to DISMISS and DON'T SHOW AGAIN on this ad.

   Please make it STOP. We know you barely make any revenues but it makes the Twitch experience even less enjoyable.

5. Stop playing ads as frequently, if ad was reported

   When you report an ad, maybe like saying "this isn't relevant to my interests" Stop playing it nonstop after that. Seems like a easy idea and i shouldn't have to suggest it, but your feedback is just a waste of time (At least it certainly feels like it). If I select playback issue and select "this advertisement is not relevant to my interests) (REF: Doordash) then it should play less like on Twitter/X. What is the problem here at Twitch? Seems like you have the technology, Twitter does, and it works, so Twitch should and so you can reasonably determine Twitch puts feedback there to just pretend you have a say in the matter. Either delete the fake feedback button or make it do something.

6. Ad Volume Overriding Twitch Volume

   Today (August 17th) a new feature has apparently rolled out because I have not experienced this before. While watching TeePee, I was keeping my volume on Twitch around 10% as I was doing some other work. When he put his Ad-Roll on (which I don't have a problem with), I was instead BLASTED by Ads sounds overriding the Twitch volume control. I was able to reset it back down, but each subsequent ad turned the volume RIGHT BACK UP.

   This is completely unacceptable and forced me to turn off the stream. So if driving away viewers is the goal, then I guess it's worked. This move alone will force me to go to other platforms if it is not immediately reversed.

7. Allow Users to block ads with flashing lights

   Allow users to block ads that have flashing lights. Your advertisers should be marking any videos that have flashing lights that could trigger seizures, migraines, or headaches in users. It's the middle of 2023, this should be an option EVERYWHERE. Adding that one ad that prompted this was an ad that features flashing red warning lights with a couple sitting on a couch seat in a house setting. It has kids with hockey gear. I'll catch the company next time.

8. Exclude the editor role from being shown midroll ads

   Pretty simple idea. Anyone with the editor role in your channel is probably doing a lot of good work for the broadcaster, more likely than not, free of charge for the vast majority of users. Someone who is contributing to the stream shouldn't be forced to financially support the stream to be able to view the content they are potentially going to be editing later, or responding live to assist with running the stream. The should not need to subscribe.

   Partners do get the ability to hand out very limited lifelong sub slots, but that doesn't really cover this purpose, and you can't reassign them if people leave to do other things.

9. Quit violating this law!.

   The Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act (H.R. 1084/S. 2847) (CALM Act) requires the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to bar the audio of TV commercials from being broadcast louder than the TV program material they accompany by requiring all "multichannel video programming" distributors to implement the "Techniques for Establishing and Maintaining Audio Loudness for Digital Television" issued by the international industry group Advanced Television Systems Committee.[1][2] The final bill was passed on September 29, 2010.[3] (Sick of being woke up watching a relaxing stream, by some unwanted law breaking obnoxious ad about nothing I care about!.)

10. Proposal for Moderator Ad Exemption System

    As a moderator for multiple channels on Twitch, I've encountered challenges in effectively managing streams while also dealing with ads. Many moderators, like myself, contribute their time and effort to support streamers without financial compensation. However, the current ad experience can disrupt our ability to efficiently moderate chats, respond to viewer inquiries, and tackle issues such as hate raids promptly.

    Therefore, I propose the implementation of a Moderator Ad Exemption System, which would allow streamers to designate certain moderators to be exempt from ads during their streams. Here's how it could work:

    • Initial Exemption: Each streamer would receive one initial exemption for a moderator on the first day of streaming, regardless of follower count. This ensures that even small streamers with few followers can benefit from ad-free moderation assistance.

    • Scaling Exemptions: Streamers would earn additional exemptions based on their follower count. For every 1000 followers, the streamer would receive one extra exemption for their moderators. This scaling system recognizes the increasing demand for moderation assistance as a streamer's audience grows.

    • Designated Moderators: Streamers would have the flexibility to choose which moderators receive ad exemptions, allowing them to prioritize active and trusted members of their moderation team.

    Benefits:

    • Improved Moderation Efficiency: Ad-free moderation would enable moderators to focus more effectively on managing chats, addressing viewer concerns, and combating malicious activities like hate raids.

    • Support for Streamer-Moderator Relationships: Recognizing moderators' contributions by providing ad exemptions fosters stronger partnerships between streamers and their moderation teams.

    • Scalable Solution: The scaling nature of exemptions ensures that the system remains equitable and adaptable to the varying needs of streamers at different stages of their streaming journey.
      Challenges Faced by Moderators:

    Many moderators, including myself, face financial constraints that prevent us from subscribing to the channels we moderate. Living paycheck to paycheck, it's often difficult to allocate funds for subscriptions, especially when moderating multiple channels. Consequently, moderators rely on the generosity of viewers or the streamer themselves to gift them subscriptions, which may not always be feasible.

    This reliance on gifted subscriptions can be unreliable and unpredictable, leaving moderators uncertain about their ad-free viewing experience and potentially hindering their ability to effectively moderate chats. The proposed Moderator Ad Exemption System would provide a more consistent and dependable solution for moderators to access ad-free viewing while fulfilling their crucial role in supporting streamers and maintaining positive community environments.

    Thank you for considering this additional aspect, which reflects the realities faced by many moderators in the Twitch community.

    I invite the Twitch community to share their thoughts and feedback on this proposal. Together, we can work towards building a platform that prioritizes collaboration and community support.

    Thank you for considering this suggestion.

11. I am done with Twitch!

    I see more ads than I see the gamer play. And what's worse, it's the same ad, over and over. I don't need progressive ins, or state farm. I can find my own credit card if I wanted another. I have seen these so much that I can say word for word the script. It's no wonder that viewership has fallen like a rock.

12. let users block horror ads

    :( Either don't let horror movie ads on the platform or let people block them! When I'm watching a cozy stream before bed and suddenly get greeted with an ad of people SCREAMING and all kinds of blood and gore it's AWFUL and it makes me want to stop watching completely! I've had this experience tons of times, but today it was the Immaculate movie ad.

13. Drop Chevron sponsorship

    Chevron has been listed as a sponsor for TwitchCon.

    Chevron is a fossil fuel company, which means they are one of the largest contributors to climate change. Climate change is the most important issue of our time, and will result in devastating effects on the environment that will harm all living beings on Earth. The fossil fuel industry, including Chevron, has pushed intentional disinformation about climate change, with the intent of protecting their profit while knowingly harming billions of humans. Taking sponsorship money from them helps normalize their genocidal actions. This sponsorship should be cancelled and Twitch should instead tell the truth about the fossil fuel industry.

15. Actually run the ads when the streamer runs them instead of running them later and interrupting the stream

    Recently, I've been having issues where a streamer runs 2 or 3 minutes of ads while taking a scheduled break and Twitch only shows me 15 seconds of ads or none at all during that time, but then, less than an hour later, the stream is getting interrupted by ads that the streamer is clearly not aware of. He actually makes the effort to keep the ads from ruining the experience for his viewers while trying to avoid pre-rolls for new viewers. However, lately Twitch has been running mid-roll ads at random times and not when the streamer actually runs them.

16. Too many Ads at once

    I was watching a livestream that was literally going to finish in 4-5 min, but instead, I had to endure a 30s ad, 10s ad, 15s ad, 15s ad, 15s ad, 15s ad, 30s ad, 15s ad, 20s ad, and finally a 15s ad. Yup, that's 10 ads in a row totaling 3 min of the end of a livestream!
    A lot is said and can be missed in a short span of 30s, let alone 3 min!!!
    Absolutely unacceptable!
    Yes, money has to be made. But at what detriment to the viewers experience?!

    SURPRISING the viewers with a sudden pop up block of ads makes the viewer
    annoyed and angry. And then blocking the stream on top of that for such a long period of time makes the viewer ABSOLUTELY p$$d off!!!
    At least if the streamer could choose when to show ads and say "I'll be back after these ads," it wouldn't feel SO obtrusive!!!

    My suggestion:
    give more control, with REASONABLE CONSTRAINTS, to either
    (1.) the user/ viewer (eg. Viewer can choose when to start the 2-3 min ad block during a live stream), or
    (2.) the streamer (eg. They choose when to start an ad block by clicking a button).

    A constraint could be:
    Must play a total of a 5min ad block within an hour stream (whether they choose to play the full 5 min at one time, or split it to two seperate 2.5 min ad blocks within each 30 min time span of their stream).

18. Disable preroll ads in event of stream crash or restart

    This should be self-explanatory.
    While I know pre-roll ads can be necessary, however they can be slightly annoying in the event of a streamer's stream crashing due to technical issues and needs to be restarted.
    Crashes happen, and our viewers shouldn't have to watch another set of pre-roll ads if we come back within 5-10 minutes after the crash.
    Sometimes these are technical issues beyond our control, other times it's just ending the stream just to fix ONE setting that takes less than a minute to fix.

    If the stream comes down for one reason or another, and the streamer returns within a timely manner, the preroll ads should be disabled for a certain amount of time.

19. Less Intrusive Ads + Better Ads (Based on Objective Public and/or Stream)

    Today i came to see some streamers i'm not subbed yet, i enter the stream and in that same second an ad shows up.
    I change stream, ad shows up.
    I go back to the first one, the same ad a third time, i close twitch.
    Great way to make more and more people get less time in the platform, totally a "smart" idea by part of the owners.
    Definitively this gonna help a lot to make people stay in the platform, what about, i don't know...
    Make people watch AT LEAST A COUPLE MINUTES before dropping an ad?
    Because if the first thing i see when i get in is an unskippable and unavoidable ad, the next time i shall just wait until the stream gets a reupload in youtube, where i can use adblock and just see what i want.
    The problem aren't ads by itself, is the ABUSE of the ads, Twitch was different, now is just YouTube 2, but worse.
    Also, the worst ads ever, bro, if you know because you have my data and YOU can see what people likes, why show any random ad? Why not videogame ads or ads related to what i'm seeing? I still thank the day Twitch gave me an ad about the new World of Warcraft expansion, even if i shall now pucharse it cuz is expensive i would see those ads all the time, as are REVELANT ads about things i'm interested and MAYBE i would click on it.
    But they collect all our personal data and later they're so dumb to just sell it and don't analize it to get better ads, or at least wait few minutes of stream to make sure i'm gonna stay... Idk even what those streamers was playing or if i want to stay or not, i just wanted to take a peek and decide what to see, if i can't i shall just wait until it gets released on YouTube.
