I know y'all prefer to listen to your good old friend Benjamin Franklin over the actual community themselves, as is the case with all corporations anyways, but these mid-roll ads that can't be skipped and occur way too often are a complete disaster that only serve to damage the site itself, and any financial benefits that can be gained from it for the company and Bezos himself will start to slowly dwindle while more and more people abandon the site entirely.

They hurt the ability of smaller streamers to use the site as a source of income, as potential viewers who might be intrigued enough by a streamer to check them out immediately click off once they get an ad upon opening the stream, and are only able to view a few minutes of it before these godawful mid-roll ads interrupt it 6 or more times.

And it ain't helping that they'll likely get the same ads for the same products that they probably don't care about purchasing, even less so with the amount of times they're bombarded with these ads.

Overall, it does nothing but deter any new viewers, along with the general userbase, and the longer this approach to advertising is implemented, the more you're probably gonna see people leave the site, especially with your futile attempts to circumvent ad-blockers that immediately get fixed anyways.

I'm not against viewing commercials or supporting big / small streamers, but every 15 minutes I refuse to be required to watch 3-8 ads and stop at nothing to watch as little or zero ads.  I recognize that at the end of the day, Twitch aims to generate the most revenue possible while being profitable, and I'm not against it. But I'm not going to tolerate you shoving commercials down my throat. I'm subscribed to multiple channels that I pay for a monthly subscription and I disable adblock on channels that I want to support, but you should never push advertisements on me in any way. If you look at news websites that force the same ideologies of creating revenue everyone stop using them and despises them for their practices.  If you want revenue bring back Twitch Turbo that's more expensive I'd gladly pay for it.

why, We had one viewer get 7 ads in a row and miss out on 9 minutes of content THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!! I have got a ad once every 15 minutes sometimes when i am not subbed. I am a disabled Army VET and living on fixed income that i can not sub to everyone that i want to to stop these annoying ad's. It is almost driving away some streamers as they RELAY on viewer interactions, And if a viewer asks a question and then an ad or 5 suddenly comes on for them they have to ask the streamer again. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!!!

OR If you MUST do the picture in picture keep the audio from the streamer so your not missing out on important infomation.

because none of the ad ideas have been implemented i.e too long, unskippable, too loud, cover the whole screen on a live stream (it's not like youtube where the not live content continues where you left off) bits for ads is broken or just poorly implemented, prime sub does not remove adds basically every reasonable suggestion in the idea page needs implementing i went off twitch about a year ago because of the poor viewing experience brought on by the ads ive come back to view some live gaming only to be reminded of why i left, just imagine watching you fav sports event e.g basketball make it a cup final. imagine at half time you had an uninterrupted view of an empty court then a couple mins in to the 3rd quarter a 20 second ad when the game comes back on the the scores have changed thats what twitch is like its infuriating. so me and 17 other users so far are putting our heads and social networks together together to try and make twitch ads harmful to the products you advertise. things like playstation and xbox ads will obviously be completely unaffected because if you watch twitch and don't know what a console is or CoD comes out about this time of year then something is very wrong you probably believe the earth is not flat but inside out kind of wrong. i've contacted a few of the gaming companies who advertise here to explain that they have paid money to twitch to have their ads shown to gamers which is a lot like trying to sell freezers to eskimos and they really should target an audience/market that don't already own the thing they are selling. point of interest for me is also that we see loads of prime tv ads on twitch but ive never seen an ad for twitch on prime video. would be nice to see gaming events/popular twitch streams advertised on prime video ads as many people watching your tv shows probably don't know much about e-sports, speed runners, and just all the unique content you can only see live on twitch, you could pull potentially thousands to millions of new viewers to twitch.

I usually have twitch on one tab, but more often i find myself watching the same streamer but on Youtube to avoid all the ads that are now on Twitch. I remember when twitch had much less ads and when there was an add id watch it to support the streamer, but now, there are so many adds i use as many blockers as i can which means i can't support the content creater as much and I am now just going to another platform where there is less. I fear that i will just eventually leave this platform. I can name at least 5 streamers that have so many ads that it is worse than watching tv and creates a very negative experience. unlike tv the ads randomly pot up and happens often during key moments in the stream during big events and makes a very negative and frustrating experience. so much that i go to youtube gaming, the only streamers i really care to watch are the ones that are not contracted to play so many ads. its very negative and i won't support any creator that does it.
