1. Retargetable ads

   I've noticed that some of the on-screen advertisements located at the bottom mid section while I'm actively watching a stream are targeted towards amazon and other adverts with a purchase link available.

   I believe that adding user options to "shopping" adverts that can tailor the on-screen ads would make them feel less invasive since I'm not going to argue them being there. I don't have a stance strong enough to make that point valid.

   My suggestion, Add a section on the ad that invites users to change settings and add keywords to filter the advertisements provided to them to a certain degree or fully if the range of their keywords extend available advertisements.

   Some of the settings can be checkboxes allowing users options to opt out of certain categories possibly, prioritize their keywords , ignore their keywords,

   In the end I know advertisements are inevitable and I'm not going to debate them. I believe if the user can tailor the advertisements available to them it would provide otherwise unwarranted feedback. The overall user may be less aggressive towards such invasive advertisements if they felt like they had some control over the matter.

   The last point I want to make because it to me would make a huge impact on the amount of time spent on the platform in general... I personally wouldn't mind more advertisements if there was a popup on the actual stream similar to some of the on-screen features. The stream can be muted to a low audio or muted for the duration. I wouldn't feel like they are as invasive and I would simply look at the ad and stream in the end spending more time watching streams and ads. To anyone who took the time to read on, Appreciate you and it's merely and rough idea to play with.

2. Allow option to prevent inappropriate ads for underage children

   Can there be a setting options to remove certain type ads. I have children (who are 5 and 9) watching streams with me and these ads are not appropriate. It seems really aiming at sex-related themes (which I would associate and avoid kick.com for). I always assumed twitch is more family-friendly unlike kick.

   Examples of current Amazon related ads which are inappropriate:
   * Sex Therapy with Chantelle Otten
   * How to be gay by Josh Thomas

   Thanks.

3. Show if someone who is chatting is in an ad or not

   Give us some sort of visual feedback if a message someone put was put while the are in an ad or not, I've posted something in chat so many times just as a ad has hit only to not hear a response so I sure its happened the other way around too, This would let us easily see who is watching an ad while chatting so we could delay our response to the point where they can hear it again.

4. Connect chat with the ads

   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.

5. can twitch send a message in streamers channel when ads play/end

   can twitch send a message in streamers channel when ads play/end
   it sucks not knowing when to stop talking/gaming so no one misses
   anything cause no one can hear me or see me no more and I have no idea.
   Unless someone in my channel chat is willing to tell me directly. Can we get
   a bot or message to appear in chat to let streamer know when its playing or not not everyone has more then one monitor and can see a panel or anything.

6. Add a option to post in chat ads are live (helps single monitor people & viewers)

   Please let us see when ads are starting, without having to have the creator dashboard open, such as posting in chat as a bot when ads are live.

   Would be nice if there was a way for Twitch to post when ads are starting in the chat, so that people who stream with a single monitor, (which is a lot of people still) would be able to see when ads are starting and ending.
   Plus viewers could see this too.

   I have streamed for well over 3 years now, and due to disability and poverty, I can't afford anything, let alone another monitor, so I have to use overlays and rely on things informing me, something Twitch doesn't so.

7. 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.

8. Advertising changes

   Hello, can you add popup little ads in the corner from xsplit or OBS not from site when twitch show ad on live we want just turn off stream or turn on adblock but twitch can do ads inside the video stream, yes that's ads be unskippable but this ads don't block stream and show the product. Sorry but this is better, obs or twitch can do ads market where all companies can sell ads directly to the streamer with a small commission for twitch or obs and this ads be 100% better cuz streamer can turn it off or enable to start earning. You can create a small advertising platform with a simple interface where ads and their conditions are displayed and each streamer can choose what to advertise
   you will control almost all ads
   even small partners will want advertising promotions and this is growth and forward movement, we know that you are the best in this.

   Thak you for your time i just want to help your platform be better <3

9. Give viewers an option to watch or start an ad in a certain timeframe, with a timeframe of 60 seconds

   Maybe give viewers an option to watch or start an ad in a certain timeframe, with a timeframe of 60 seconds or 2 minutes where they'll get forced to watch it anyway if they haven't chosen to watch it before this.
   This will enable viewers to finish a conversation/wait for a response before being put in an ad slot.

10. Disable ads for all moderators

    This is a huge issue. Ads severely limit how effective we can do our jobs as mods because we can’t hear or see the streamer in a lot of cases so we lack the ability to communicate, especially when it’s a large group of ads. So Twitch, please disable ads for channel mods.

11. I think a really good idea would be to make subscriptions make that specific channel ad-free.

    It would really cool to add a feature where a viewer can subscribe to a creator and get various benefits with one being an ad-free experience. And make it work properly. Otherwise what is the point of subscribing to our favorite creators?

12. Have a button that allows the viewer to execute the ad break.

    Ads are a serious issue. Especially when watching a stream and an ad hits at a crucial moment. To correct this, allow the viewer to choose when the ad hits. Maybe there's a break in the action or maybe the viewer needs to go to the bathroom. Have a button that allows the viewer to execute the ad break. Then allow the stream to go for 30-60 minutes. If they don't execute, then the ad runs on the timer as usual. This way, not only will the viewer be more incline to watch the stream, but they will be more incline to execute ads. I know banking ads is not a great idea because it'll be abused. This really can't be and gives more power to the viewer.

    also utilize popup ads or mini player ads more on the stream instead of covering the vod

13. Give viewers the option of when to view ads

    To prevent viewers being in a situation where they miss live stream content, give users an option to "View ads now instead of on the regular timer schedule", which would then reset the timer. Yes you have to view more ads, but you then are guaranteed ad-free content for the next X amount of time (whatever the current timer is set at for running ads).

    i.e. Watching a speedrun, on PB pace, 20 minutes left in the stream, but there's an ad in 15 min. I really don't want to miss the end! I'll just play an ad now, deal with it, and then I'll have guaranteed ad-free viewing the rest of this PB run!

    Putting this in the hands of viewers empowers them to have control over the ad experience and then they won't miss the great live content moments they know are coming!

15. Ads for Roles:

    Make it so Broadcasters can give Ads to certain roles and or Vice Versa. Like I can make it so Followers, Viewers and Regulars can get ads BUT I can set it as VIP, Mods and the Broadcaster of their own Stream wont get ads.

16. a button to watch ad whenever I want

    If I can choose to watch ads between my streamer's matches, I'd watch way more add than I do currently (add captcha to avoid bots) and not miss any of the action.
    Also, if I watch more than X ads per hour, I get to watch them without audio and with streamer audio, so I still have a small streamer window with its audio. Twitch'd make more money and viewers wouldn't be angry whenever something worth watching is happening and the ads ruin their experience.

17. twitch seeks out brand deals for creators instead of running a bajillion ads

    why doesn't twitch implement some kinda program where twitch seeks out brand deals for streamers (creator decides what deals they want to do and can say no to a deal) and takes a cut from that instead of running the invasive ads. higher payout that way. obviously people gonna take those for big payouts too even though they could just go through their own manager for those. just a free deal on behalf of the platform. everyone is happy and gets paid.

18. Return to displaying length of ad breaks

    The app used to display the length and number of ads still to come in an ad break. I would tolerate some smaller ad breaks (1-3 ads), but switch channels for the longer breaks (6-9 ads) because it's not worth the time and frustration to miss out on that much of a stream. Now that the ad length is not displayed, I'm guaranteed to switch channels when mid-roll ads play since there's no telling when I'll get back to the stream. Please go back to displaying remaining ad time

19. Allow viewer to be subscribed after watching enough ads.

    I think that would be a good idea to reward a viewer after watching enough ads.
    I often leave a stream because there are too much ads and it's frustrating.

    So we could give for each viewer a "contribution wallet" that fills while watching ads, then after we reach a certain amount, we can sub on that specific channel using the time spent watching ads.

    No need to see a value like money/time generated, it could be a progress bar with a % and when we reach 100% we can "sub for free".

    For example, let's say I am watching two channels, let's call them A and B.
    Let's say that, in that example, we need to generate 10$ while watching ads, to get our reward subscription.
    After a week spent on each stream, I got like 5min of ads on channel A and 15 min of ads on channel B.
    If, for example, 1min of ad generates 0.50$.
    We would have 2.5$ generated on channel A. Which would give us 25% of our progress bar.
    And we would have 7.5$ generated on channel B. Which would give us 75% of our progress bar.
    So watching 5 more minutes on channel B would allow me to get my reward and get my sub for my fidelity.

    So instead of changing channel to avoid ads, I could watch a streamer I like, knowing that each time I am filling my progress bar to finnaly get my sub, thanks to my fidelity.

20. Ads on Main Player, Stream in Secondary (Watch Party's Player)

    Use the Watch Party secondary player, to maintain a Stream while using the Main player to play Ads, while reducing main stream's audio.

    Common complaint for people is that Random ads can pop up and ruin the experience or have them miss out on something at the worst time such as a moment or a train or conversation.
    But if it's moved to the Top Right secondary player people can still not miss out on the stream while an Ad plays and the reduced Main Stream Audio would not anger advertisers as their video ad is still brought into Focus, additonally a timer before an Ad Player and Transition would help people be ready instead of being abrupt

    Additionally when Ads play advertise Twitch Turbo to people in the corner such as "Hate Ads, Sub to Twitch Turbo to skip them" as this could bring it to light for more Twitch users
