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 dont mind Ads be it the whole screen or the length of it.
But do take note that Twitch is also being watched by kids, i just recently stumbled onto an Ad that is a Horror Movie Trailer & the Ad left my child in a very scary way. Is it somehow possible to select better targeted ads for those that is little ones? And yeah, he's using my account if u wanna feedback that you guys track the targeted age for Ads -

I don't like horror movies, please stop showing me ads for it. Please let us at least mark ads as inappropriate.

On a chill low-fi only stream then suddenly blasted with an inappropriately suggestive sex therapy ad. Even when watching other content, the ads aren't relevant to the content being watched. Need to seriously up your targeting campaigns to reach the right audience.

I have a family friendly channel. Some of my users have commented that many of the ads shown are NOT family friendly! Unfortunately, I have no control over this as a broadcaster. I do have young children who watch my channel. Some of the ads are extremely inappropriate for them.

I'm sick of horror ads too. Literally seen the same ad 3 times in a row on the same stream.

Sell me all the fast food you want.
STOP patronizing me with these endless "Streamer recommends stock market app" ads. "You can get started investing (gambling) for less than a new video game. No cheat codes required."
EVERY.
****.
ROLL.
Let me vote for my preferred ads.... please. I don't want to gamble on the stock market just because I googled GameStop five years ago.
Oh ditto with the horror ads. Less high volume lady screaming while I'm ASMRing please.

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.

Came here to upvote this, wth is this horror ads being shown everywhere with super loud jumpscares, jesus christ this is the worst advertising i've ever seen in my life, i'll make sure to downvote this movie to the ground because of all this resentment i developed for it...

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.

I am not a fan of horror. I don’t need the 2am jumpscare while I’m watching a casual stream in the background.
