1. Remove ads entirely from the moderator page.

   They do more harm than good, when I'm trying to moderate. Especially during technical difficulties and issues with the stream staying connected.
   I have to sit through 10-30s of ads every time they get the stream back up, to help diagnose or otherwise let them know what could be the issue. Or having to get the info a second time from them because I didn't hear them when they first came back.
   Simply put, they're useless on the mod page, and in some cases, could potentially make the user experience worse because of the lack of communication between streamer and mod(s). Just get rid of them, again specifically on the moderator page.

4. Let Subscribers Choose If They See Ads or Not

   Right now Partners and Affiliates have the ability to give their subscribers 'ad free viewing'. I think subscribers should be able to opt-in to watching ads on a channel their subscribed to even if the channel has 'ad free viewing' turned on for subscribers.
   There's not many ways you can have an ad feature that is a win for everyone involved, but I think this is one of those ways.

   For Twitch:
   - More ads watched on their site.

   For Streamers:
   - More ad revenue, while also keeping 'ad free viewing' as a perk for those who want to subscribe.

   For Viewers:
   - More control/choice over the content they're watching. The would be able to toggle ad free viewing on or off depending on if they want to see ads or not.

   Some people may wonder why even have this as a feature?
   My reason is because right now the streamer only gets ad revenue for ads that are viewed. If you have 'ad free viewing' turned on for subscribers, then none of those viewers will see the ads. If a channel's viewers are made up of mostly subscribers then no ad revenue is being made from an ad break. If anything that ad break is turning away non-subscribers who are the only one's seeing the ads.
   Some subscribers may want the ability to support the channel their watching through viewing an ad so the streamer gets that ad revenue. It would be 100% voluntary by the subscriber to toggle on, and give them another way to support Twitch and it's streamers.

5. Short multiplayer game ADs where chat vs' each other

   I see multiplayer ads which are polls, twitch could take it to the next level and have multiplayer ads where chat plays each other in a minigame for 30s or 1m, like a very quick battle royale

6. Dedicated Plug-in / Ad section

   I feel that a few of features that are new, or in testing, on Twitch had a dedicated place on the page to run instead obstructing streams , or flashing up in chat.

   Having a small area (maybe the top 1/4 of the chat area on desktop) to host these features wouldn't be that intrusive, and could be used as a place to display small ads for non-subs, and maybe the area could be used for the streamer to host custom apps (like overlays) for subscribers.

   I'm a huge fan of consistency, so having an area like that to test new features without disrupting the viewing experience (even if it does show ads most of the time) is a huge.

8. 7sec viewer retention, streamer relevant and COPPA

   You have 7sec or less (30sec ads = lost viewer) to serve the viewer their content or they will bounce, do like YouTube's 5secs. Ads must be relevant to the streamer. Ads can not violate COPPA.

9. Award bits to the ones voting.

   I want my viewers to have the optimal experience on my channel, and not everyone can afford to support a creator. So I'd like some, if not all of the bits to go to the viewer so that they get a more positive experience. It would make it a more personal connection between streamer and viewer, and they in turn can show a bit more personal support in case they can't afford to buy bits or subs

10. Reduce the greed on Ads

    I formulated the title drastically because it‘s a serious problem lately happening on Twitch and don’t see that getting addressed from them, at least not in the level as it should.

    I said it several times on social media and i also say it here: Twitch is ruining their ads business, constantly and -seems like- willingly:
    - The sheer amount of ads which you face as a viewer of the platform is simply ridiculous
    - You‘ve guys taken the control of the ads out of the hands of the content creators
    - You implement changes to the ad system without notifying anybody nor testing it out
    - the Ads for bits function is not working

    So, let me explain that points one by one:
    — Amount of Ads —
    If i enter a stream (the so called „pre-roll ads“) the player tells me:
    - „Ad 1 of 2“, then ofc „Ad 2 of 2“ and then it starts over again, 8 times in a row.
    - Which makes by
    - - an average ad length of 10 seconds (lowest value in Twitch advantage and easier to calculate here),
    - - 20 seconds per „block“
    - - which makes it 160 Seconds or over 2,5 Minutes i watch ads.
    I really have to ask you Twitch: Are you guys kidding us?

    Not is that just annoying, which leads me (and many others i spoke with) to leave the site. Which means the tab will be closed. And your mid-roll ads have the same issue.

    — No Control for Content Creators —
    Yeah when we are at the mid-roll ads let‘s come to a good point. You guys implement the mid-roll ads without any control for the content creators.

    Okay, the streamers can trigger ads to push the mid-rolls out, but that‘s not the control i‘m talking about. It‘s about the content won‘t be interrupted suddenly by an ads in the worse timing, well how could we prevent that? OH by giving the streamers the fully control about the ad placement for example.

    You guys know that streamers suffer from your „fantastic test“ right? They loosing viewers which leave the channel because of the mid-roll ads, they try to come back but the ads keep playing and playing and they won‘t come back. Many Streamers i spoke with recommended their viewers to install adblockers to keep them in the channel! If that is not an indicator to you Twitch that something is completely wrong with your ads then i recommend to not be ad based anymore.

    — Implementation Failures and Bugs —
    We, as Twitch Viewers, are already used to bugs all over the place: Emotes and Badges don‘t load, Whisper Function does often not working.

    But the implementation of the mid-roll ads, takes failure to a whole new level! Not that nobody was informed, not partnered streamers, affiliates, normal streamers or viewers. The mid-rolls have also been served to subscribers of channels which is a complete no-go. Obviously nobody tested that before implementing it into production or the test methods are not working at all.

    — Ads for Bits Function —
    Okay, let‘s leave that all to the side and imagine: We want to watch ads and get something for it, like bits. Welp that‘s also not working.

    For months i can‘t use the „ads for bits“ function, at all. Strange when i see that you guys can serve the ads over 2 minutes, but if i want bits to watch ads there are suddenly no ads?!? Why don‘t you use the amazon ads here, why i don‘t see the other ads here? The only time a user would get a literal benefit from watch the ads you block the function? I have to repeat myself: Are you guys kidding me?

    I wish Twitch would think more about the user and the content creators and simply not backstabbing on both of them by spamming the user with ads and barely severing and of the revenue to the streamer

    I formulated the title drastically because it‘s a serious problem lately happening on Twitch and don’t see that getting addressed from them, at least not in the level as it should.

    I said it several times on social media and i also say it here: Twitch is ruining their ads business, constantly and -seems like- willingly:

12. all ads should be only run in a corner of the screen as to not cover up the stream.

    All ads need to run in a window on the stream instead of blocking out the stream for up to 20 seconds. Every ad that runs makes me AVOID the products shown like the plague because they are INTRUSIVE and BELIGERENT is brute-forcing advertising about items I have absolutely NO interest in.

13. Ad immunity with Ad gamification

    User controlled ad experience:

    -Users run their own ads to build up an "ad immunity" duration for their current account.
    -This ad immunity duration will allow the user to view streams without encountering preroll/midroll/other ads for this period.
    -Longer the ads watched the longer the ad free duration.
    -Can have an upper limit of ad free viewing time, requiring additional ad viewing to top off the duration.
    -Users can choose who gets the ad revenue share, depending on where they trigger the ads to view. Either with a channel they want to support, or give the share to Twitch. Use button prompt to choose revenue split and keep user engaged with the ads.

    Ad Gamification:
    Give users more incentive to run ads themselves via daily/weekly/monthly goals to work towards.
    +Rewards can include but not limited to:
    -bits
    -exclusive emotes
    -exclusive temporary emote edit options
    -exclusive badges

    Example,
    Ads season pass goal can include:
    -Watch ten 30 seconds ads: rewards X bits
    -Shared ad revenue with X amount of channels: thumbs up emote edit option for 24 hours
    -Viewed one hundred 30 seconds ads: 1 random ad emote
    -Viewed one thousand 30 seconds or longer ads: tier 1 ads badge

    The main idea is to allow users to run ads on their own time, and give themselves an uninterrupted time to visit Twitch and view familiar or new content creators. Users understand the importance of advertising, but they do not have any control over how that is presented to them (currently being slammed with ads with every visit/refresh).
    Give users the control for ads, allow them to customize their ad experience, and even personalized ad preferences so they're more open to the idea of the product/services being shown.

    Let the ads be a positive experience for everyone, Twitch users understand games, let this be fun and profitable at the same time.

    -Users run their own ads to build up an "ad immunity" duration for their current account.

15. 30 seconds of pre-roll ads is too long for live content

    Pre-roll ads don’t belong on live content to begin with, but they should never be as long as typical commercials/ads. Imagine clicking on a stream that you’re excited about watching in that very moment (because you saw something interesting in the thumbnail or someone tweeted about something happening on that stream) and then after the website loaded and the video player loaded, waiting another 30+ seconds for the live stream to load. That’s the current experience with pre-roll ads. It breaks the in the moment or “you had to be there” experience of live content.
    A 5 second pre-roll ad is a more tolerable amount of time to wait for a live stream to load.

16. Multiplayer Ads: Benefit both, the creator and the viewer

    The idea of rewarding only the creator for every vote seems like a wasted opportunity for me, normal ads do that already.

    Instead, what about giving back to both, the creator and the viewer?

    The way I understand it, every vote seems to get a certain value (e.g. 5 bits) which will then be all added together and sent to the creator after the ad is over.

    What if instead of bits, this value would be divided into gifted subs and every participant then gets a chance to win one of them, while any possible remainder gets paid in bits to the creator.

    This way, viewers would have more of an incentive to participate in these interactive ads, the creator would have more of an incentive to run them, and all sides have the chance to get something in return.

    Maybe we could watch 2 minutes of ads to give us an hour ad free.

19. Ad Credit System

    Instead of having only pre-rolls and mid-rolls, I suggest including an ad credit system. Whenever people watch ads, they'll earn credits (similar to how bits used to work) and will be able to spend these credits to "skip" ads on channels they watch. This can be done in a few ways. I suggest having an ad stream where people can accumulate credits or some type of ad viewer of equivalence. This way, people would be able to accumulate as many credits as they want, to afford the price of a skip button on ads. This has absolutely no down side for viewers as there is a way to abuse the system. Should the ads be similar to a stream or video feed system, viewers could potentially afk and farm ads while doing other things or while their favorite streamer is offline. This "abuse" of the system doesn't have any downside for twitch either. In fact, the downside is towards advertisers. There's no reason to pay for ads if no one will actively watch it. People would just open a tab and switch tabs accumulating as many ad skipping points as possible. However, to avoid this, it could be coded in a way where if the tab is not open, it does not count. I know this is possible. Then what's the point? Viewers would have to watch ads regardless. No, this can be done by just leaving the window open while you do other things. Of course, those with multiple monitors would be able to abuse this but it's unavoidable. This can also be abused on the phone by leaving the ads on the phone constantly on. Any advertisers who complain about this abuse system clearly doesn't realize that they would not know in the current state whether people just walk away when ads play anyway. So their claims that this is the case would not be valid.

    All in all, a system where viewers are able to watch ads whenever they want to earn credits to use to skip ads on streams would be something to give thought. This also benefits streamers and lets them earn money through ads by just counting how many skip ads are used on their channel. This would register as a viewer watched an ad from them and they'll earn their portion. Of course, those people who do not have enough points will have to sit through the entire ad.

    I hope something like this can be implemented. I enjoy watching twitch and I must admit the amount of ads are insane. I understand their importance but there is a difference between twitch and tv. While tv specifically choose segments to cut and showcase an ad, the content is paused. On the other hand, twitch is live. Therefore, no content can be paused at all. Ads make people miss a lot and although the top right viewer feature was greatly appreciated, it definitely still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

20. How about an AD button to support streamers instead of forcing this trash on us

    A button where you can watch ADS on your terms to support a stream.
