Replace fullscreen prerolls with new Stream Display Ads
Full-screen pre-rolls are a huge obstacle with user experience and streamer discoverability. Users do not want to browse new, unknown streamers because watching a fullscreen 30s ad before getting to check out a streamer is annoying. It's a huge deterrent so users tend to rely on their go-to streamer. Replacing the forced fullscreen preroll with a Stream Display Ad instead will encourage users to once again check out new streamers.
This change would be a massive improvement for both viewers and streamers.

Ads in corners of screens has been needed for so long. Dont interrupt the whole show.

I would rather share my screen/player with ads then rather replace my the whole player/screen.

Full screen ads have ruined raids. The viewer can't see the streamer's response and the streamer has to sit there waiting for the ad to be over for any sort of interaction with the raiders.
You have those first few seconds to sell yourself to new viewers before they click away and that's completely removed from you by an ad. -

Pre-roll ads actively discourage me from seeking out new streams. This would go a long way to help discoverability of new people
