  1. I just encountered an ad that features a teenager committing suicide and his father frantically trying to get into his room to save him. I understand that this ad is for awareness but I know multiple people including myself who have lost people to suicide and my cousin shot himself as his family was walking in. With no disclaimer, it completely derailed the stream and took me by surprise. I would like to advocate for a disclaimer feature for ads that viewers might find disturbing. Such as gore, suicide and self harm topics, etc. I can't have been the only…

  2. This is a huge issue. Ads severely limit how effective we can do our jobs as mods because we can’t hear or see the streamer in a lot of cases so we lack the ability to communicate, especially when it’s a large group of ads. So Twitch, please disable ads for channel mods.

  4. Please fix where ads play when you raid somebody right at the start it’s honestly pretty disrespectful from twitch to allow this to happen and destroy first impressions

  6. Every time I request not to see a specific ad because it is either offensive/inappropriate, or is not in line with my interests, it's like the report just goes into a black hole.

    I keep getting the same ads over and over again even after I have submitted a playback issue report.

    The feature just seems to be there to make you feel like you're doing something, when in actuality it's being ignored, and Twitch (or maybe Amazon) is the ultimate arbiter in what ad you get to watch.

    Please have this feature function properly, so people who wish to…

  7. The streamer I moderate for has a contract with Twitch where they have to run ads every hour. Sometimes they are busy with the game they are playing. Rather than having to post in chat a bunch to get their attention, it would help if moderators had the ability to start ads. Along with this, the moderators can't tell if the ads are successfully running if they are subbed. We have to constantly pester the streamer to know if they did ads on time. If there was some way for us to know the ads are running it would help…

  9. There needs to be a way to stop ads playing for at least 1-2 hours. Taking a break every 30 minutes for a few minutes is just unrealistic and doesn't fit most content on Twitch. Longer ad break, every 2 hours or so would be much more agreeable I believe, especially when it comes with giving MORE agency to streamers. They know their community and their content the best

  10. Im just going to say it as it is.

    Twitch Needs to give affiliate sales to channel that get the viewer to pay for a Twitch Trubo subscripion. 35% ($5*) of the sale goes to the streamer leaving Twitch with the remading $8.

    This would be a great in hand for puting ads on all channel (Affiliate/partner or not) giving the viewer the reason to pay for Trubo on the platform.

  11. I literally can't watch Twitch anymore because all the ads I get are for this horror movie. There's this girl that's creepily smiling at the camera...and I don't know the rest bc I just close the tab and watch YT after. I don't mind the ads but please allow users to choose if they want ads for something scary/horror related

  12. I would love it if you used machine learning to know when streamers are idle* in certain games, to trigger an ad.

    games like - fortnite, cod, apex legends, valorant, dead by daylight all have waiting rooms/lobbies, so if you detect that a streamer is in a lobby, you can trigger the ad using machine learning, so that another ad wont play for 20 minutes or so the average time the game plays ( i know different games have different common load times.

    this i think would be one of the easiest and smartest ways to introduce more people to…

  13. So that for instance if in my tastes i dislike, say, ed sheeran i can signal that dropping multiple ads about it in a row is hurting my experience to the point i'm leaving doing something else.
    I'm otherwise not that annoyed by the occasional ad, esp. about something new.

    Feature could be made available after showing a certain count of the same ad

  14. Ads hinder growth so, so much and they barely make any profit for small creators/ for twitch when playing on small creators‘ channels. Maybe give affiliates the ability to turn off all ads completely in their streams, and only have mandatory ads for partners?

  15. It's extremely annoying missing content with all the ads. Can you imagine watching TV shows where you miss content during commercial breaks? Yeah, didn't think so.

    There should be an Opt-In option for users to Buffer the Stream when mid-roll ads are playing, then after the ad is done the buffered stream is played back at 1.5x speed until you're caught up with the live stream.

    This wouldn't need to be enabled for the pre-rolls, just the ads after the stream is playing so you don't miss content.

    How is this not a thing?

  16. We know ads suck but it's what allows free content..so the problem is that it's always the wrong time for ads, Especially when its down to the end of the game and we miss the Fing last battle because some ad pops up. How about a button that you can click when your streamer is in cue or going to the bathroom etc, and it runs the ads? yes it will still run ads as normal, however, if you are due for and ad to run in the next ten minutes, by clicking the ad button, it will skip the…

  17. The Problem:

    Currently, Twitch recommends channels based on tags, categories, and viewing history. However, if a user is not interested in certain content types (e.g., gambling, specific game genres, "Just Chatting" subtopics, or controversial tags), there is no way to proactively exclude them from recommendations. This leads to a cluttered directory and a less personalized browsing experience.

    The Proposed Solution:

    Add a user-controlled setting: "Blacklisted Tags" (or "Muted Tags"), where users can select tags they don't want to see.
    Accessible via: Settings → Privacy & Preferences → Content Preferences
    Functionality: When a tag is added to the blacklist, channels using…

  18. Shared Chat is an amazing feature that was recently added but since many Streamers use multiple Chat bots like Streamlabs, Streamelements, Nightbot, etc. if a command or a Chat alert is used it shows up on both Chat instead of just your own. It would be super helpful so that you can designate specific accounts to not show up in Shared Chat to alleviate confusion and clutter

  19. Mods need to know what's going on in the stream. Set the mod view to show the ads in a separate part of the screen with adjustable volume controls for the stream and the ad. This way, mods can see the stream and also know what ads are playing. They would be able to adjust the volumes to focus on what needs attention.

    The mods should also be able to disable an ad that is playing and have it replaced with a different ad if the streamer/mod does not like the ad content.

  20. Twitch should add a new, cheaper tier of Twitch Turbo (or call the cheaper tier something else?) which only has the platform-wide ad-free perk.

    I know I can't speak for everyone, but I'm aware of at least some people (including myself) that would be interested in buying a subscription to remove adverts platform-wide (not just for 1 Channel), but don't want to buy the current Twitch Turbo subscription as we/I don't care for, don't need, or don't want the other perks of Twitch Turbo.

    In my case, I only want the ad-free perks of Twitch Turbo as I don't stream,…
