You probably wont read this or even care, but I want you to know that I truly hate using your site. On a stream I was moding for, there were ads at 5 minute intervals for an hour. Your system is broken, I cannot do my job as a moderator and no one cares. I cant submit a support ticket because the system redirects you so many times it becomes a battle of wills (there is no support section for ads either).
I want you to know that you've won. I do not want to be here, and will avoid your completely broken system. I can barely watch let alone do a job as a moderator. Im done.

Well Twitch is very tough, and stubborn as a bull. with the butt against the crib. More and more viewers are leaving for Kick.com and other platforms. they hate ads, just like we streamers. that 50% revenue can stick twitch where the sun never shines. They force viewers to pay, and so for small countries like we live in, this is the nail in our coffin. Those stupid Americans don't understand that.

Exactly, many of my viewers have the same, and I myself Ge subs are still getting to see advent. More and more streamers and viewers are switching to the Kick.com stream platform, Twitch is throwing its own windows, those who are in a glass house, should not throw stones. Just like an elephant in a porcelain store.

I've pretty much stopped watching anything on Twitch. I get ads on channels I'm subbed to, and they aren't being rolled from the streamer. I've asked them. One is a friend of mine and he runs no ads of his own. I've had channels not even begin playing because of ads. Just terrible.

I now have to subject my viewers to 3 min ads per hour (I made 3 1 min blocks every 20 min) to avoid prerolls for newcomers (because I've seen prerolls going to up to 9 ads in a row, nobody is gonna wait for that). The thing is, extra ads not scheduled by me suddenly just happen out of the blue. Wanna run a million ads? Make them a f**king banner. F**k, make it a permanent banner, if you want (but allow us to curate what is allowed there) and I'll even integrate it into my overlay.

And needless to say, as we have no actual way of checking how many ads were played for how many people, there's no real way of knowing if we are even getting the alleged 55% (of an undisclosed amount), and more often than not I see the numbers not adding up to my mental clculation based on the people who were active in chat and the viewer count, when comparing two different streams

PLEASE stop the full screen ads.
They don't help promote any product, they just annoy everyone.

I have never seem stream display ads in the 3 years I have been a streamer and viewer

PLEASE push Stream Display Ads to all and stop full screen ads

I just had 8 ads in a row, taking several minutes, which I of course, muted. And missed a song I requested and had been waiting a half hour to hear. That's just too many ads at once. Twitch and Amazon is getting enough of my money already and I cannot afford to subscribe to every channel. Limit ads or I'm done with both!

This response isn't worth anything, SDAs don't replace any of the other ads, the streamer has no control over them, they don't turn off pre-rolls and if you have SDAs on and an automatic stream schedule, the scheduled ads are all midrolls, SDAs are just *in addition* to all the other ads, this isn't a solution to the problem

I get that this response is from 2017 but where did the Stream Display Ads go?
Looking at the Twitter post linked, these are far more preferred than how ads are currently. I'm sure you would see across-the-board support for this instead of pre and mid-roll ads, and will see less people bypassing ads with adblockers.

The way ads are currently set up is anti-consumer.

Twitch is really bad with their offensive on advertisement. Rather than improve the experience, they make it outright abusive. Youtube has a better deal overall, isn't as aggressive, and Youtube Premium not only removes ads but also has an option for a family package so other connected accounts gets no ads for less.

I just got 10 pre roll ads and then one of the new banner ads that pops up at the bottom of the stream and temporarily reduces the size of the stream being displayed. These display ads were added so we would see less of the very intrusive video ad spam but you just slapped them on top of the excessive video ads and have not reduced the number of video ads in the slightest. In fact I'm actually seeing more video ads than ever before. VODs nowadays are RIDDLED with ads as well. It's beyond ridiculous at this point. Find another way to make this website profitable because injecting extreme amounts of ads is not the answer. I used to spend 8 to 12 hours on this site per day but that has been significantly reduced lately because of the staggering amount of ads. Streaming is very oversaturated nowadays so finding new streams to watch is already really difficult. Having to sit through 3 to 5 mins of ads for every stream you click on is beyond intrusive and greedy. At the very least pre roll ads should have a cooldown of sorts, if you have watched a set of pre-roll ads then you shouldn't have to see more pre-rolls for "x" amount of minutes. That way you can actually browse for streams to watch.

Yes but i would like to be able to select only this option in ad manager. So right now you can only pick intro ads so when people come into your stream or ads during your stream. If twitch makes a option to turn all other ads off including the intro and during ads BUT allow ads under your stream that are less disruptive and make you still audible/watchable i would turn ads back on. Right now i have everything turned off as much as possible because i hate having ads distroying the stream experience.

Is it possible to not have ads run for 10 minutes when a channel is raided? I hate missing the streamer's welcome message :(

I've lost track of how many channels I have simply closed because I couldn't face another advert.

If the intention is to increase revenue it's failing miserably. It's especially annoying to raid a new channel and completely miss the welcome and surprise of meeting a new streamer because of adverts. By the time the adverts have cleared the streamer has finished introducing themselves and explaining what sort of content to expect.

I had 4 ads in a row 10 seconds of stream then 4 30 second ads in a row again when I just clicked on the streamer and something very important was going on. Most annoying experience of my life

im fing sick and tired of getting 5+ ads for people i am subbed to,enough is enough

3 out of 4 ads poped up if there is something important at the stream

@dowski - Can we get an option to ONLY get these Stream Display Ads that pop under the stream? I'd run ads a lot more if I could guarantee that it would ONLY be this kind of ad
