Preferred/Disliked ad categories
I would really like it if ads were categorized based on content; I love seeing ads for things like pizza and restaurants, but I HATE having to sit through an unskippable ad for a horror movie/show. If ads were categorized, there could be a section in Twitch options where I could move different tags into "show me more" and "show me less" status based on what I do or don't want to see.

Hi I feel the same, came here to ask how to get less horror movies ads ! We don't care about ads just please let us choose to be in a safe space for those who doesn't like horror (oct 2022 is a spam h24 for Halloween movie).

came here to say the same exact thing, I'm ok with any ads just NOT horror movies, could you at least put a "don't show +14 ads" or smth? since the movie had a +14 thing on it. I'd rather sit through an ad about school supplies honestly.

I have extreme anxiety and chronic nightmares; not having a way to filter/opt out of horror movie ads are inaccessible and ableist. If I continue to see jumpscares/horror movie ads without my consent I will no longer be able to support twitch in any way. Do better.

adding my voice though it will do no good as it is seven years later and you still haven't listened. i shouldn't have to watch horror movie content before a livestream of sleeping chickens

Agreed, I really HATE ads showing alcohol and that is what Heinkenber is showing to MY viewers.

100% agree.
I'm fine with horror themed contents, but I dislike those mobile games with a lot of anime girls. A big yikes for me. -

Agree, as a parent, sometimes i'm watching with my kid. When there is an ad with an horror movie / game, i have to fastly close the application or tv to avoid him to be scared. It's normal to have ad, i think, but not this kind of ad.

Agree with all the freaked out people; these screaming horror themed ads (even ones that are for innocuous food delivery services!) are ... horrifying. I run a soothing gentle chill atmospheric stream, and I view many such channels, and it's NO bueno. Is there a way to set my channel to not traumatize my viewers? Can I have a non-traumatizing ad preference for my own Twitch exploring somehow?

Agreed! I get ads for the extremely annoying show "warped" that has people screaming at the top of their lungs the entire ad. Its extremely annoying and is much louder than the stream itself!

Agree.
If you use Youtube to watch video, you still can report what ad you don't like to watch. Then, that ad won't show on your screen anymore.
But in Twitch, no matter how much you hate that ad how many times you report it. It is still showing on your screen.
For example, i hate all Chinese game so much and never want to play it. Because China have been bullied Hong Kong people over 2 years.
However, you keep showing me Genshin Impact/LOL AD on my screen. Man, it's pretty annoying me.
Is that mean i shouldn't use Twitch and go back to Youtube? -

Completely agree. I have a serious problems with horror movies/shows... I dont want and dont need this kind of ads... please twitch remove this asap.

100% in agreement. The last thing I want when turning to a nice chill stream is to have trigger-worthy advertisements slammed in my face. People who've experienced real-world violence don't need to see it. Many horror movie trailers are not only triggering-worthy, but they are also gross and completely inappropriate for younger viewers. I've actually shut off streams rather than be subjected to some of these adds.

I completely agree, that's why I came here.
I really don't like horror movies or trailers and I just refreshed the page like 5 times trying to get a different ad.
I don't want to watch these types of ads, I would be fine with watching any other, just give me the option to "Give Feedback" or something.

It'd be really nice to just not have to see ads for movies like Halloween or Don't Breathe 2 etc. I'm completely fine with watching ads as they support twitch and streamers, but don't really appreciate being shown content that I make a point to avoid at all costs for personal reasons.

Yes please. As someone that runs a channel where parents sometimes come in with their children to watch together,I would like the ads displayed, to also be a safe rating for my community.
