Zapping
I hate ads. When I check out a new channel and am greeted by ads, I close twitch 90% of the time. How about something like a "Zapping" feature?
How it would look like:
- You go to the Zapping feature and choose a category/filters and/or starting channel
- You get 30s of uninterrupted content
- Either zap to the next channel (of the category/filters) within the 30s and get 30s of the next channel as well or
- After 30s you are moved to the channel you were watching and the ad settings of that channel apply, either preroll or mid-stream ads after some time... or roll some ads if you want, whatever...
Maybe this is better for discoverability? If I don't know if I like a channel, why would I bother with the preroll?
