Ok, so to the point. I like to support small community streamers. The Ad revenue they get isn’t worth the viewers they lose every time a AD pops up for instance on the mobile app. Of course, on desktop people can just download adblockers as they keep updating them, but I was watching a small stream ads starting playing in the middle of his game play so I left to another one when he started actually doing content, guess what ads. I’m sure the 30 cent revenue is really worth losing viewers tho. All this does is kill the small streaming communities IMO, or the ones people hope to build. I said optional in the title so they can still make their 30 cents if they like, or just opt out and gain audience until they can better establish themselves. Any stream that doesn’t consistently produce 1k+ viewers perhaps should have the option (then whatever other variables you all want to add)? It’s just a option I think small streams would like to have… Nevertheless, I have been sick and lurking small streams. Cutting their content off isn’t helping their channel grow. If they opt in to roll ads then that’s there own fault since they won’t see much gains with such a small viewer base. I just ask that you all take the time to consider making this optional until the twitch account is actually partnered or has a lot of viewers, consistent gifted subs, or donos etc. Other than that I feel like twitch is slowly putting a pillow case over the small communities and rolling the ads during game play to make a few cents on your side from each small steamer - which ultimately may gain the company a gain, however the trade off is people going to other platforms that are improving. I know they are improving and will keep improving as I hope twitch will. My apologizes for the long idea, but it’s just ridiculous to cut the feet out from under the small gaming communities.

Thanks.
