  1. 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…

  2. Streamers who have tagged their channels as "family friendly" should be configured to block adult ads. In particular, ads promoting alcohol.

  5. I'm experiencing a weird bug about ads both on the pc and on the Twitch app. Basically the advertising starts but i can only hear that and the livestream keeps going overlapping its audio. This lasts only for a couple of seconds and after that the ad stops. This tho makes it so the browser doesn't recognize an ad has been played and keeps doing this every few minutes. Another bug related to this is the sudden interruption of the playing ads leaving only the black banner saying "an ad is playing keep connected to support...." until i restart the…

  6. Tie ads in with the chat so that if someone blocks ads they also have to block chat and would not be able to participate in the community unless adblockers are disabled on twitch.

  8. Moderators should not get ads! We need to hear and see everything, also many mods don’t have the money to subscribe and avoid ads.

    When I need to get to stream quickly and there is an pre-roll ad, I cannot do what I’m suppose to do.

  9. Please give an option to block non-smoking ads. I quit smoking recently and seeing vapes every day when i try to watch twitch isnt helping. SeemsGood. The ads might be helpful for people thinking about quitting but are detrimental for those quitting.

  12. As the title states: add Upvote/Downvote buttons for ads in whatever form you like: thumbs up, upvote, plus sign or even make like 5 categories to put the ad in (funny, positive, negative, annoying or more). This would benefit not only the users, but ad partners and twitch itself too:

    • users will be able to upvote or downvote ads: in the future this could be used to personalize the ads shown to specific users, giving them a more enjoyable experience. In my experience i actually like some of the ads and REALLY disklike others

    • similar to channel points, this feature…

  13. Why are we FORCED to play ads??? Small streamer like myself only get stunted by them and forcing people to sub to not see them is just BULLKAKA. Why noy give the affiliates and Partners the right to turn them off? After all the only one losing on not showing ads ate the stream. But when you think about it the viewer will win by not being forced to watch! Not to mention that Advertisers will get better placement of there ads and twitch might make a few coins more! Either way FORCED ADS have forced me to not care…

  15. Ok, so to the point. I like to support small community streamers. The Ad revenue they get isn’t worth the viewers they lose every time a AD pops up for instance on the mobile app. Of course, on desktop people can just download adblockers as they keep updating them, but I was watching a small stream ads starting playing in the middle of his game play so I left to another one when he started actually doing content, guess what ads. I’m sure the 30 cent revenue is really worth losing viewers tho. All this does is kill the small…

  16. If a scheduled ad is going to run right after a raid, there should be a way for Ad Manager to automatically delay the ad run by an amount of time (5-10 minutes), so the raiders have an opportunity to see the streamer before that ad break.

  17. I don't know why this system classifies it as an idea, but anyway, I don't use any adblockers or stuff like that, but I don't get ads on any of the platforms, please look into this, I cannot be the only one not seeing ads at all even when the streamer triggers them manually. Something is wrong here and I have no idea how to fix it.

  18. So difficult just to contact support. Getting 3 ads in less than 30 minutes. Why do we not get paid to watch ads?? Twitch get money from ads, the streamers get money from ads, why not the end user who watch the ads? So many time wasted watching ads. Then why must I click every time on Followed channels just to put it on High to Low, can't you guys keep my settings that I select in the first place? Can't you mute the video when you open twitch? Some streamers scream in there mic and when you open twitch,…

  19. Instead of Cramming ads down viewers throats at an unreasonable amount.

    Fix the ads, so when the platform attempts to roll an ad, it doesn't freeze the page, cause buffering, and ultimately the user has to refresh the page. Only to find that the platform was attempting to roll an ad, but couldn't even manage to do that correctly.

    solutions:
    hire competent programmers?
    quit trying to milk every $0.02 possible at every 5 minutes of a stream, rendering creators content, time and effort to deliver said content to users virturally unwatchable.

  20. Audio ads less disruptive. I am never going to reply to an ad, I am FORCED to listen to dozens of times. I already buy cheetos, I shouldn't have to listen to that music countless times an hour. It makes me mute ALL ADS. Find another revenue stream. It is ******* people off.
