1. Replace fullscreen prerolls with new Stream Display Ads

   Full-screen pre-rolls are a huge obstacle with user experience and streamer discoverability. Users do not want to browse new, unknown streamers because watching a fullscreen 30s ad before getting to check out a streamer is annoying. It's a huge deterrent so users tend to rely on their go-to streamer. Replacing the forced fullscreen preroll with a Stream Display Ad instead will encourage users to once again check out new streamers.

   This change would be a massive improvement for both viewers and streamers.

2. Don't show online casino ads

   Since we in Sweden are not allowed to join in and participate in channel-point betting on any stream here on Twitch, how about Twitch refrain from showing us advertisements from ACTUAL online casinos?

   I wish my brain could find the words my heart want to tell you. Alas, I can find none that fully measure up to the absurdity at hand.

   Thank you kindly for your consideration.

3. A detailed and comprehensive list of ways to improve user ad experience.

   Hello.

   For years now I've noticed many complaining about the user experience on Twitch concerning advertisements. I myself have also felt burdened by the frequent and interrupting ads on Twitch, which have pushed me away from the platform, so I painstakingly compiled a list of data and ideas to help improve the twitch experience.

   I offer this data and feedback free of charge in hopes that Twitch will do the right thing and help rectify the seemingly declining viewership on the platform.

   For this, please refer to...

   ... and that concludes my presentation.

   Thank you for reading. I hope Twitch found this information useful.

4. Disable preroll ads for users with Stream Display Ads enabled

   With the testing of Stream Display Ads, many creators are excited to begin using them as an alternative to disruptive full video advertisements. However, because preroll ads are still displaying, the main problem being voiced in my community still isn't being addressed: the disruptive nature of preroll ads.

   To quote my friend Kit, a fellow streamer:
   "Those [preroll ads] are so frustrating, especially hopping into a stream from a raid. Missing all the hi's and thank you's and welcomes because I gotta see a 90sec ad about totino's"

   Stream Display Ads are a great alternative to full video ads, but only when they CAN be used as an alternative. Please give us the option to fully utilize these instead of forcing disruptions to our content.

5. Can you please chill a bit

   I get 30 seconds mandatory ad after refreshing stream which froze and after refreshing another 30 second ad. I get that you are you doing your best to capitalize the most outta this platform but could you please chill just a bit with the frequency, I'm already doing my best to boycott every product you are trying to force down our throats.

7. SDAs (Stream Display Ads) only

   Allow streamers to opt for SDAs only, even if it makes up less profit.

   For people who might not know, SDAs are banner ads.

   Full screen intrusive ads have never and will never work, we've known this decades!
   * What do people watching TV do when the adbreak starts? They change the channel.
   * What do people watching Twitch do when the adbreak starts? The exact same thing!
   This is NO NEWS to anyone in the world, but it seems it's news for you, so now you know.

   I don't want full screen ads EVER on my stream. Ads kill streams. This is no news! The only reason I'm running them now is because pre-rolls are even worse, as people leave before I even have the chance to say hi.

   WE DON'T WANT INTRUSIVE FULL SCREEN ADS!

   And let us ban ads from our streams, I don't care how much they pay you, there are things I don't want to advertise

10. Running and ad upon entering a stream for 30 seconds is to be expected. Not running ads for 3 minutes every 5 to 10 minutes is gross

    Stop allowing ads to run every 5 to 10 minutes that last 3 minutes (1 of 8 or 9 ). I feel very annoyed along with others in the community about this. It will kill a streamers view counts

11. PLEASE STOP the full on-screen ads during a stream.

    The interrupting full-screen ads HAVE to stop. When playing JackBox Games for example, your screen is literally gone and it ruins the game. The screen doesn't always minimize and go to the top right, so you literally have no stream to see. Thirty seconds is a lot during JackBox to not see the main screen (and this is just the JackBox Games example of the experience being ruined - there is no point in going to new streamers because ads play on my favorite ones already). This is completely ruining the experience on Twitch. I understand ads need to play, but there have to be other ways than literally making your stream disappear. This CANNOT CONTINUE. We all get ragingly upset when this happens. PLEASE. STOP. THE. FULL. ON. SCREEN. INTERRUPTING. ADS.

12. Provide clarification on Display Ads

    There's currently very little information on how Display Ads actually function in relation to standard video ads. Creators have zero way of seeing revenue from them vs. standard ads.
    Do they replace standard fullscreen ads? Do they appear according to ad schedule settings?

    If these appear in addition to normal ads, why would anyone use them, especially when we have no idea what they're worth to us as creators.

13. These ads are getting ridiculous

    What was the idea with ads that automatically play in the middle of a stream. Here I am enjoying watching my favorite streamer during a big moment then all of a sudden they are not only minimized to a super small box in the top right, but the sound to their stream is cut off in favor of the ad. Twitch said during their new ads this would not happen and they also said the ads would be non-disruptive by appearing in a small box at the bottom of the stream... this is clearly not the case. Who thought these ads would be a good idea? They are getting in the way of watching streamers which is what we are all here to do. Wtf is this? Its getting to the point that I don't want to use twitch because they are trying too hard to get ads in the stream. Stop with these BS ads please.

14. Ad placements

    when watching a streamer its frustrating to have an ad appear during a critical moment of gameplay, having the ad displayed full screen and the streamer on a very tiny screen + cutitng out of their audio is not a great experiance.

    imagine watching your favourite tv show and its at a very tense critical part of the show just as the moment is about to happen an advert takes over your screen and the tv show is shrinked to a tiny box, you can see whats happening but you cant hear what is being said because of this advert, so you rewind your tv show and you re-watch that moment with audio but you have already seen what has happened so the first time so your initial reaction to the scenario is ruined...

    I would propose that rather than putting the streamer on a tiny screen you put an ad or multiple ads in the bottom right of the stream whilst maintaining thier audio so you dont miss that critical moment or you could place a window ontop of top of the chat with an ad, you could also use the chat to promote ads aswell, links to products being posted every 5-10 minutes, or over-laying chat completly with a window of an ad so that way you get the best of both worlds, with chat you can read and catch back up where as the stream you need to clip it and go back 30seconds to see what happend then you are constantly trying to play catch up with the stream and then when you are about to catch up more ads are displayed. its really ruining the user experiance and i hope you take these idea's on board and implement a better solution

17. Ad placement

    I love twitch. But when it comes down to listening to the action and having a conversation with the streamer and it is interrupted by an ad. It becomes abusive on Twitch's part. Perhaps if an ad was displayed at the bottom of the streamer's view portal (the player). that was stationary as the page was loaded in. It becomes a .jpeg. It is NOT a blockable item. I am tired of this "ad abuse" being 3 or 4 30-second ads in a row. Whats the point of even coming here to watch a stream at this point? I'd like to think that being a former server operator i know the cost of what a 14-blade server costs to run per month, and the bandwith hog that they are. but this seriously renders the service unusable.

18. Custom image with Stream Display Ads

    Where the black space is on Stream Display Ads, let broadcasters upload their own custom images depending on if the content is live, vod, or a rerun.

    Would help with channel branding, call to actions, and clear identity of content.

19. Stream displays ads used instead of prerolls or even midrolls but keep them for VODS

    use Stream display ads instead of prerolls on live content ,keep prerolls on VODS my experience on twitch lately is that i dont go looking for new content creators much due to prerolls annoyance . you cant treat twitch like a Video on demand service you have to treat it as a live service , and you don't interrupt a live service with ads , SDAs are a great way not to interrupt the live broadcast . and midrolls controlled by the content creators as well . the issue with midrolls is that sometimes the midrolls are longer than the break the streamer takes this needs to be addressed as well

20. Please give an option for traditional ads instead of these awful "stream display ads"

    I really, really hate when these new ads change the screen size of the stream, it is incredibly intrusive. I would much prefer just a 30 second ad and then back to the stream.

    If people prefer them then I disagree. I would never engage with an advertiser that so annoyingly changes my view settings.
